前言：今年的SL會非常的令人期待，不只有兩個第一輪新秀要分別展現出潛力跟實力，同時也有位置競爭，另外也有令人可以觀察的球員(Harangody、Gudelock)。 http://ppt.cc/MJSu Key Storylines for Chicago Bulls' Summer League Team The Chicago Bulls are one of 22 teams that will compete in this year’s NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. The event tips off on July 12 and concludes with a championship game on July 22. Summer League action, of course, is nowhere near as exciting as the regular season and NBA playoffs. Fans won’t get to see All-Stars like Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah take the court, but they will get to witness a slew of talented youngsters who are trying to earn a spot in the Association. Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler impressed everyone last July, averaging nearly 21 points per contest and being named a Summer League All-Star. The guy Bulls announcer Stacey King refers to as “Jimmy Buckets” won’t take part in this year’s event, though. Who will suit up for Chicago’s 2013 squad? According to Aggrey Sam of CSNChicago, the Bulls’ roster includes Marquis Teague, Tony Snell, Erik Murphy, Malcolm Thomas, Luke Harangody, Andy Rautins, Ryan Allen (brother of Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen) and Charles Boozer (brother of Bulls forward Carlos Boozer). ※最大號的人物：有(理應當)要破繭而出、屠宰SL的Teague，還有有些令人意外的第一輪選秀Snell，跟在 NBA不順遂、但卻是2008年BE聯盟最佳球員的Harangody(按：看起來像是有外線、硬朗而且紮實的3/4號球員)。(按：上季在湖人的Gudelock應該也在我們的SL名單中。) Biggest Names Marquis Teague After helping Kentucky win a national title as a freshman, Teague was selected by the Bulls with the 30th overall pick in the 2012 draft. Teague would rarely see the court during his first season in Chicago, appearing in just 48 games and logging 8.2 minutes per contest. As every Bulls fan knows, Coach Tom Thibodeau doesn’t love to play rookies. Teague averaged 2.1 points and 1.3 assists while shooting 38 percent from the field last season. This will be Teague’s second consecutive Summer League appearance. The Indianapolis native struggled mightily in last year’s event. Although he averaged a decent 10.6 points and three assists, he only shot 29.4 percent from the field and averaged 3.8 turnovers a game. Look for him to have a much better Summer League this year, dazzling the Vegas crowd every contest. Tony Snell The Bulls threw a curveball by selecting Snell 20th overall in this year’s draft. Most fans and experts believed the team would take a big man instead like Gorgui Dieng or Mason Plumlee. While Snell isn’t the backup center Bulls fans were looking for, the 6’7” swingman is a terrific shooter, something the team desperately needed last season. The New Mexico product shot 39 percent from downtown this past year. It will be interesting to see how Snell performs in his first Summer League. Expect lights-out shooting from the Bulls rookie. Luke Harangody Luke who? If you’re not a college hoops fan, you may not know much about Harangody. The former Notre Dame superstar was named Big East Player of the Year in 2008 and served as a 20-point, 10-rebound threat for the majority of his career. Unfortunately, Harangody’s NBA career hasn’t been so fantastic. He has averaged just 3.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 70 games. He didn’t play in the league this past season. Maybe his performance in this year’s Summer League will earn him a camp invite. ※正式球員試鏡有著公牛最需要的外線火力的E.Murphy、還有上季在SL打得像前五順位的MT3，是可以透過SL獲得進入正式名單機會的兩個球員。 Players Who Have a Legit Shot at Making the Real Roster Erik Murphy First-round picks Teague and Snell are guaranteed to be with the Bulls next season. But don’t expect guys like Harangody, Rautins, Allen and Boozer to make the real roster. Murphy has a realistic shot, though. The 6’10” power forward was drafted by the Bulls 49th overall this year. Not the world’s most athletic big man, Murphy is simply money from beyond the arc. He hit an amazing 45 percent of his three-point attempts as a senior at Florida. The Bulls were one of the worst shooting teams in the league last season, and that’s why Murphy has a good chance to make the team. Malcolm Thomas Thomas appeared in seven games for the Bulls last season, averaging 1.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.1 minutes per contest. Will he suit up for the Bulls in 2013-14 as well? It’s definitely possible. Thomas played for the Bulls’ Summer League squad last year. The undrafted forward looked like a top-five pick, putting up 11.4 points and a league-leading 12.4 boards per game. He also produced 1.4 blocks and shot 53.5 percent from the field. His crazy athleticism and high motor could certainly earn him a spot on the Bulls’ real roster next season. ※血淋淋的爭奪戰：這一季在位置爭奪戰上，相同位置、都有著被公牛所欣賞特質的兩個球員，很可能會透過在SL的表現來決定誰可以成為正式球員，普遍來說認為Murphy因為他的外線，機會是比較大的。 Key Position Battle Erik Murphy vs. Malcolm Thomas More than likely, either Murphy or Thomas will make the Bulls’ roster. But which big man will come out on top? Chicago needs a third power forward to play behind starter Carlos Boozer and primary backup Taj Gibson. Murphy can serve as a “stretch 4,” while Thomas provides the team with quality rebounding. If the Bulls were to choose between Murphy and Thomas, chances are Murphy would be the guy who sticks around. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.24.11.140 ※ 編輯: AhUtopian 來自: 114.24.11.140 (07/08 15:57)
