Orlando Magic Sign Dewayne Dedmon, Adonis Thomas: Call-Up Breakdown Brian Kotloff, NBADLeague.com One was called "a first-round pick, no question" by his college coach, who explained by simply saying, "He's 7-foot, 250 and he runs like a deer." The other was believed to be NBA Draft lottery-bound since high school, hailed by ESPN.com as "a coach's dream who wins not only games but championships." 一個是曾被他的大學教練稱作 "毫無疑問的首輪選秀"；教練提到"他有7呎250 磅身材，而且跑起來像頭鹿一樣。"另一個是從高中就被認作是NBA的樂透球員。 ESPN有這樣描述"一個目標贏得總冠軍的教練心中的理想球員人選"。 Yet for both Dewayne Dedmon and Adonis Thomas, the product has never quite matched the tools; that's why, after each spent two unspectacular years in college, both went undrafted this past June and were left to work their way back up to those sky-high expectations in the NBA D-League. 但對於Dedmon還有Thomas來說，他們一直都是半成品，也就是為何這兩個人都打 了兩年不怎樣的大學籃球，而且這兩年夏天也都選秀會落選，只能留在NBDL繼續 朝他們天一般高的期待目標努力。 And both have since shown signs of blooming late, emerging as arguably the two NBADL prospects with the greatest upside. So it's fitting that the next step in their growth will take place with the same team, the Orlando Magic, who in one fell swoop have grabbed two potential diamonds in the rough. 然而兩位近來開始有點小有成就，魔術隊看上這兩個球員，準備帶他們進入下個 階段。 SEE OFFICIAL RELEASE ON THEIR 10-DAY CONTRACTS Dedmon, four years older than Thomas yet just as inexperienced because of his unique background, was the early riser, earning GATORADE Call-Ups to the Warriors in November and the Sixers in January. It appeared that he'd found a home in Philly, where he got significant minutes over two 10-day contracts and seized the opportunity, doing exactly what coaches expect of him: bringing energy, protecting the rim, cleaning the glass and running the floor. But he never found his niche offensively, and was lost in the Sixers' roster Dedmon在11月有打過勇士隊，1月時也打過76人隊，當初在76人時他有一些不錯的 上場時間。達到教練希望他帶來的精力，保護籃框周圍，清空籃板球還有在場上 努力活動。但是他的進攻讓他離開了76人。 PTS/36MIN FG% REB/36MIN BLK/36MIN SANTA CRUZ 16.2 54.0% 14.4 2.5 76ers 8.9 51.7% 10.0 2.2 The 20-year-old Thomas, on the other hand, has been the breakout star of the season's second half. 另一方面，Thomas年僅20歲，在下半球季有了突破。 His Call-Up comes on the heels of his first appearance on NBADLeague.com's Prospect Watch, the reward for a stellar February in which he's averaged 22.6 points on sparkling shooting numbers (47% FG, 48% 3PFG, 83% FT). Six months after entering the pros with a large question mark next to his jumper, the 6-6 small forward was participating in the NBADL three-point contest at All-Star Weekend, ranking fourth in the league in three-point percentage (see shot chart on right). After scoring at least 20 points two times in 55 games at Memphis, he enters the NBA having scored 20+ in seven of his last nine games. 他在二月份時表現優異，平均22.6分，三圍是投籃47%，3分球48%與罰球83%命中 率，六個月前他跳投是一個問號。但六個月後他參加NBDL名星週的三分大賽，在 NBDL三分命中率排到第四。 From his skill set and body type to his humbling fall from high-school sensation to college disappointment, Thomas bears an uncanny resemblance to DeQuan Jones, who shockingly made Orlando's opening night roster last season. Jones wound up playing in 63 games before joining the NBA D-League this season; Thomas gives the Magic yet another chance to strike gold 他的技巧還有他從高中到大學直落的聲望，讓人想到一個跟魔術隊有關係的人- DeQuan Jones，去年Jones也打進魔術隊的球員輪替之中。Thomas也可能會是魔 術隊挖到的另個金礦。 補充 : Thomas跳投附圖 左底線三分 l 籃下 l 右底線三分 4/7(57.4%) l 46/80(57.5%) l 4/8(50%) l l l l l 油漆區 l l 30/75(40%) l l l ------------------------------------------ l l l 罰球區中距離 l 51/120(42.5%) ---------------------------------------- 三分球 30/66(45.45%) byC8:看起來他很喜歡從中間來 Thomas三分賽英姿 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAiVoA78jyQ Dedmon 高光 21號 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-faja6E3uZM --
