New Orleans Hornets appear prepared to select player to keep in this year's draft. http://blog.nola.com/hornetsbeat/2009/06/new_orleans_hornets_appear_pre.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlike a year ago when the team essentially sold its No. 1 pick - the 27th in the first round of the NBA Draft - the New Orleans Hornets appear likely to make a selection and keep it, General Manager Jeff Bower indicated on Tuesday. 不像去年一樣，黃蜂賣出第1輪27順位選到Arthur，GM ↖疝氣ａ Bower↗指出今年的黃蜂 傾向於選個新人進入隊伍來培養。 The Hornets hold the 21st selection in the first round of Thursday night's draft and seem to have targeted several players at that spot the team feels could specifically boost its roster depth. 美國時間禮拜4晚上的選秀，保有21順位選秀權的黃蜂似乎已經看上了幾名可以幫助球隊 新人。 Bower would not narrow down the potential choice by position, but said there are players likely available near the time the Hornets would select who have piqued their interest. Bower不會將選秀重點擺在球員的位置這上面，因為據說有幾名實力不錯的球員不會被選到 ，而黃蜂應該會選來那些不被重視的球員。 "We obviously know who it is, but we don't know if he'll be available," said Bower, who admitted he has spoken to unspecified teams about potentially moving up in the draft to obtain that target player. "It's something that we felt if it was achievable, and if we thought it was necessary, we would (move up). Right now, we're picking at 21." 「很明顯地，我們都知道是誰，雖然還不知道他是否會被挑中。」Bower說。　且有可能會 透過交易來提升順位去選擇鎖定的球員。　「如果可以達成，如果必要，我們現在就會透 過交易提高順位，雖然我們現在在第21順位而已。」 Coach Byron Scott said he couldn't prioritize his wish list by position because of the uncertainty of the process. Byron Scott說，他沒辦法用位置來排出自己所希望選到的球員，因為選秀過程的不確定 性很高。 "We all understand we have a couple of needs," Scott said. "We still need a power forward that can spell David (West) and a backup point who can keep the pace we want to keep up when Chris (Paul) is not in the game. Those are probably the two biggest areas coming off the bench. If we can get one of those guys in the draft, we'd be very happy with that." 「我們都知道我們有2個需求。」Scott說。　「第1個就是大前鋒，可以替補West的人。 第2個就是控球，當Paul不在場上時，就可以派的上用場。　那2個位置對板凳來說可說是 個洞。　如果可以從選秀挑來這些位置的球員，我們會非常高興。」 -- "Hey, coach, let me play, let me play it out, please, please, look, I swear, look... if I need one (break), I swear I'll come out, seriously look, please let me go, I swear, if I need one I'll take myself out, please just let me go in..."
