Chad Ford的Insider，所以就不貼來源了 The two biggest enigmas in the draft are Connecticut Huskies big man Andre Drummond and Baylor Bears forward Perry Jones. I'll see Drummond in New York early next week. Jones was the headline attraction on Thursday. Whether his performance answered the questions NBA teams have about him is open to interpretation. Drummond跟PJIII是本次選秀的兩大難解人物，我下週會在紐約見到前者試訓。本週四則是後者佔據頭條，不論PJIII的試訓表現是否有助於釐清NBA聯盟對他的種種疑問，但確實提供了可以公評的話題。 The workout featured Jones as a wing -- a smart move to validate NBA scouts who believe that Jones was miscast as a center in Baylor's offense the past two years. While Jones has the size of an NBA center , he's a perimeter-oriented big man who shies away from contact in the paint. He always looked more comfortable with the ball in his hands facing the basket than he did backing down a defender in the paint. 本試訓顯示PJIII是個側翼球員，那些認為他兩年來在貝勒學院都被放錯位置的NBA球探，看法是正確的。儘管他有擔任NBA中鋒的身板，但卻是不愛身體對抗，球風偏外圍的長人，PJIII喜歡面框持球而非背框攻擊。 Thursday's workouts capitalized on Jones' strengths and featured him in a number of drills alongside other wings like the Vanderbilt Commodres' Jeff Taylor and UC Santa Barbara's Orlando Johnson.Jones wowed early. He's unusually quick and fluid for a player his size. While he's not a lights-out shooter, he's got a nice stroke and knocked down 7-of-15 from NBA 3-point range in one drill. He's also a solid ball handler for his size and looked very comfortable running all the drills on the perimeter.What was most impressive was his explosiveness in the paint. When Jones hit the lane he blasted off the ground for a number of thunderous, highlight-reel dunks. PJIII跟其他側翼球員如Vanderbilt大學的Jeff Taylor、聖塔芭芭拉的Orlando Johnson一起試訓並體測。一開始PJIII就有表現，以同體型的球員來說他非常敏捷且刁鑽，他並非神射手，但三分球也投15中7。PJIII的持球運球也是同類中的佼佼者，在外圍的測試項目中都勝任愉快。最令人激賞的還是禁區的爆發力，到了罰球線一帶他能演出驚天動地、Highlight等級的灌籃。 In many ways he reminded me of another unusually big wing -- Paul George. Chad Ford聯想到Paul George（現溜馬） After the workout was over, some things were clear. Others were not. 試訓解答了某些事，某些則否。 Jones is going to look terrific in individual workouts. There are very few players in this draft or any draft who can do the things he does at his size. A team could easily fall in love with his potential and make him a top-5 pick. George fell all the way to No. 10 on draft night and virtually every team that passed on him in the draft now regrets it. If we were to do over the 2010 draft today, he'd be the second or third player off the board.What is less clear is whether a position change will improve Jones' motor and overall mental toughness. He disa -ppeared for long stretches during Baylor's season and shied away from contact. Was Jones just unhappy with his role at Baylor and therefore not as engaged as he could've been? Or is there something deeper in his personality that saps the competitive edge out of him? 在個別試訓裡PJIII超強，這次選秀沒幾個像他這種體格的人能有如此表現。前 5號籤的球隊很容易被此吸引。George當時是第10順位中選，沒選他的隊伍事後都後悔了，如果2010選秀時光倒流，他會在2或3順位中選。但情況一樣渾沌不明的是，換個位置打球有助於PJIII的求勝慾以及心智強度嗎？Jones在貝勒學院被安插在不適應的位置，是造成他在場上無表現且不喜身體對抗的原因？或者人格面的深處有某些因子讓他自我設限呢？ In speaking with Jones on Thursday, he's aware of what teams are con- cerned about and said he's working on improving his mental toughness and body language. He specifically said he's trying to improve his at- titude when his shot doesn't fall early.As for the GMs in the room? Everyone I spoke with came away with a different opinion. Here were two of the most representative. Ford跟PJIII談話時，後者表示他知道NBA隊伍對他的心理素質有疑慮，也強調他正嘗試改進心態。GM們則有兩種分歧意見。 "That sort of talent doesn't come along very often," one GM said. "As I was watching the workout, I thought you finally got to see what a freed-up Perry Jones could do if a coach just lets him be himself. He could be a dominant, and I mean dominant, forward with his size, athl- etic ability and skill set. I think he's a hard worker and will be a much better contributor if you give him the chance to be himself. I'd have no concerns drafting him in the top 5. He could be a home run of a pick." 這種天分的球員不常見，當我看試訓時，想像的是有個讓他適才適所的好教練， PJIII所能完全解放的狀態。以他的體格、運動力和技術，會成為有宰制力－－沒錯，我就是說宰制力－－的選手。我認為讓他作自己之後，PJIII會很認真鍛鍊，並在場上做出貢獻。要我用前5順位選他沒問題，這會是完美選擇。 And the other side ... "Of all the guys that are in your top 10, I'd have the hardest time taking him [Jones]," another GM said. "I know he wants to be a 3, but I don't think he does anything that we ask our 3s to do that is speci- al. He's not a great shooter. He doesn't have a great handle. He's not an aggressive defender. He's got great size and athleticism, but he's not skilled enough. That means he'll end up being a stretch 4, which is a euphemism for a guy who doesn't have a position."Could he be gre- at? Sure. But I think he's a major project and a major risk. There are safer picks in the top 10 with very good upsides. I think there's a good chance that he slides in the draft as people continue to wrestle with who he is. 在前十順位口袋名單中，最難下手選擇的就是PJIII。我知道他想打小前鋒啊，但我們對小前鋒球員的要求，他可沒作得特別好。他不是好射手、護球也不行、亦非積極防守者。有運動力跟體型，但技術未成熟，這意味著他可能成為廣距離大前鋒，而這只是對找不到位置的選手的委婉說法。PJIII會很強嗎，當然，但也有高風險存在，前10順位有太多更保險的人可選，我認為當各界持續爭論他的定位，PJIII的順位將下滑。 ===================================================================== 1.還滿懷疑心態這種東西可以自己主動強化的...... 2.以騎士的順位來說，實際上中籤機率最高應該是第5順位，不管拿到5或6順位都難抉擇。但前幾位好手裡有個騎士比較不缺的T.Robinson，如果他先被挑走，就可能把騎士鎖定的人往後擠，讓騎士能選到。 3.今年是Byron Scott教頭的合約年，當然，不太需要擔心他的續約問題。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.168.64.237
