Summer league games shouldn't be overlooked. It's not the playoffs and it's not even a regular season game that counts against your record. You might even say they're worth less than pre-season games where teams try to at least gel together, development some chemistry, and figure out rotations. Most of the players that are playing this week in Orlando and next week in Vegas won't even see the inside of a NBA locker room next season, let alone the court. On the surface, summer leagues look like showcases for newly-drafted rookies and young players trying to break into the NBA, but if you dig a little deeper, there are other motives at play. 不要太過高估夏季聯盟，這不如季後賽或例行賽。大部分的球員還是不會在下一季出現，這只是一個讓新人表現的地方使自己有機會在之後出現在NBA。 If you saw yesterday's game against the Thunder, you saw the Celtics' 2012 rookie class live up to their billing: Jared Sullinger was a beast in the paint, Fab Melo was seven feet tall and still a project, and Kris Joseph can score the ball. Those were all great signs for a fan base and a front office hoping to find some immediate contributors from last month's draft. There's also the 2011 rookies, JaJuan Johnson and E`Twaun Moore, the pair affectionately known as Purduo. Unfortunately, their freshman campaigns in the NBA were marred by a shortened training camp and spotty minutes during the regular season. They've shown flashes of brilliance (JJJ in a Sunday matinee against the Bulls and E'Twaun in a huge comeback win in Orlando), but for all intents and purposes, this is their true rookie season. Even though they're technically 2nd year pros, they're still expected to compete in summer leagues and they're going to have to show Danny that they belong on the team, especially Moore who's on a non-guaranteed contract. 對於整體Rookie的看法與期望新聞出處(必填):http://www.celticsblog.com/ 作者:wjsy -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.166.221.119
