我們目前大概對於所有具備得分以及外線能力的，都感到興趣啦。外電是說我們現在只要敢賭Taj不會打進防守第一隊，就可以簽下一個球員到季末，而仍然維持在豪華稅門檻內；要是賭他打不進第二隊，可以簽兩個： 1.Danny Granger 他的傷勢是個考量，但我覺得就算以一個高砲台來說他也是很夠用(尤其比起我們自己的板凳末端)，只是他下季要待在公牛機會真的不高，不管他恢復得好或不好，也要看他自己目前挑球隊是不是以ring chaser的心態在挑。編：我們已經跟他正式通過電話了。 2.Ben Gordon 聽聞有球隊已經準備開出兩年合約給他，但他自己希望夏天能夠投入自由球員市場，他一直我們從上季到這季初，許多球迷都非常希望的一個補強人選，他其實年紀還在當打之年，這幾年的個人成績不少是受到團隊定位的影響，事實上細翻他的Game Log ，他那種單場全然不講理的大爆發還是會出現的，找他過來在如何搭檔使用上，應該是最不用Thib傷腦筋的。(Kirk、Noah、Rose表示) 3.Caron Butler 這幾季受傷勢跟球隊定位困擾，上場時間不穩定，但外線表現都還算十分亮眼，隨著受傷跟年紀，以往的切入跟防守已經不在了，當然當個板凳上的外線火力他是很夠的，只是他明顯地應該會想回到出道時的老隊伍熱火吧？ 4.Jimmer Freddtte 上面三個人可能都比較偏向短期租借的性質，但他是完全可以考慮留下來當長期拼圖的人，這當然也是因為他除了外線之外，所能提供的即戰力相較上面三人來說是比較不確定的，但如果要考慮到我們本季跟下季都不會是熱門甚至理性上可能的奪冠者，趁現在培養新生代的戰力，一邊打一邊養，也挺不賴的。這其實是我個人最愛的選擇，而目前傳出來有興趣的球隊是我們跟騎士，Jimmer如果回顧自己那因為球隊文化被拖垮的生涯，要選擇誰應該很清楚。另外補充下面，一個國王迷在國外論壇貼的分析觀察： Kings fan and new poster to the RealGM boards. I thought I would drop by and give a scouting report on Jimmer as someone who has watched most of his pro games played to date. This is going to be a bit of a long post, so I'll do a quick summary and then get to meat and bones. 1) His handle is a weakness, but it's not as bad as all that. He can bring the ball up against pressure, but he doesn't initiate the offense terribly well when pressured, usually having to screen the ball with his body on the wings. Nobody is going to confuse him with Kyrie Irving. 2) His court vision is above average for a 2, below average for a 1. His assist to turnover ratio looks horrible, but his turnovers per minute aren't all that bad. 3) His shooting is very good. His scoring is only okay. 4) He is not a standout individual defender, but his isolation defense is acceptable. It's tough to get a read on his team defense because the Kings are just laughably bad at rotations. 5) He is a very good locker room guy and won't cause problems for any team he is on. Now for the long of it. Jimmer was drafted to probably the worst situation he could have been put in. No training camp due to lockout, an organization run into the ground by incompetent ownership, and a roster that just didn't make any sense. The original concept that coach Westphal and GM Petrie had was that Jimmer was the backcourt yin to Tyreke Evans' yang. Tyreke drove and scored or kicked out to Jimmer who knocked down a three, a dime store version of Jordan/Paxson or Kobe/Fisher. That never happened. Westphal was fired seven games into Jimmer's rookie season and Keith Smart took over. Keith Smart is not a good NBA coach. Smart moved Tyreke off the ball and promoted Isaiah Thomas to starting point guard about half-way through the season. We never really got an extended look at the Tyreke, Jimmer pair to know if there was anything there to work with. Jimmer's rookie year was rough, and the stats showed that. He didn't have confidence in his shot. He turned the ball over against pressure, and he just looked lost on the court. His sophomore year was better, but he never had the confidence of Keith Smart. He was competing for minutes with Thomas and Aaron Brooks (who Petrie brought in to start at point guard for some reason). Jimmer was out of the rotation at the start of the year until he started posting gaudy stats in his garbage time minutes, at one point leading the league in PER mid-december 2012. So, Keith Smart started playing musical chairs with the point guard position where Brooks would start one game and Thomas would take all the minutes off the bench, then Thomas would start and Jimmer would take all the bench minutes. Did I mention that Keith Smart is not a good NBA coach? Still, there was marked improvement in his game. He raised his 3 point% and his shooting% over the previous year. He looked less lost on the court defensively. Of course, the Kings were still terrible, and he was a deep bench player on a team mired in a relocation nightmare and an endless lottery treadmill. Then the new ownership group stepped up, bought the franchise out, installed a new coach, a new GM and a new philosophy, "Get rid of every player who played for the previous ownership group not named Demarcus Cousins." Of the 14 players our front office inherited last year, 4 are currently on the roster, and three of those were widely advertised as available for trade including Isaiah Thomas. Jimmer was the second best guard on the Kings roster this year in preseason, but he was part of the old regime, so the front office declined his player option and focused on building for the future. He was out of the lineup completely at the start of the season, and may not have logged a minute of playtime at all this year, except that every guard on the roster except Isaiah Thomas was horrible. Vasquez couldn't defend anything, Thornton lost his shooting touch and has never defended anything, and McLemore is a very athletically gifted young man who is so raw that it is hard to watch. Jimmer took Thornton's minutes and looked not horrible, so Malone was forced to play him at the 2. Once Vasquez was traded as part of the Rudy Gay transaction, Jimmer became the backup point guard by default. Even then, his minutes have been very inconsistent. He will get 18 minutes one game, and 4 minutes the next. Still, he has played his best basketball of his career this year. His confidence is back in his shot, and he has been the only bench player to give us points regularly on offense. Phew, now on to the evaluation of what Jimmer is and isn't at this point. 1) He is now a steady ballhandler. He isn't flashy and he won't be breaking anyone down off the dribble, but he isn't going to cough the ball up against modest ball pressure. He is better at recognizing double-teams and staying away from traps in the corners and wings. He also isn't the guy you want initiating or controlling an offense just because he isn't going to pressure a defense with the dribble. In a team system where the ball goes through multiple hands on offense, he will do fine. 2) His turnovers come from bad passes. He is responsible for much of that, but the other part comes from some really terrible hands on some of our big men. Jason Thompson, Quincy Acy, and Aaron Gray are the three bigs he played with the most, and all of them take turns bobbling easy passes in the lane. In either case, he gets credited with the turnovers. He hasn't played much with Cousins all year long (maybe 30 total minutes on the court together) but those two did some really good things with the pick and roll, and I'm a little upset that Malone didn't play them together more. 3) Jimmer is a shooter in the NBA, not a scorer. Being a Kings fan, I tend to be a pessimist, so I don't believe that he can sustain 50% given more shots and more playing time. I do think that 45% isn't unrealistic. He is a very good shooter in catch and shoot (51% from three) and off the dribble (47% from three, 46% overall). He has gotten better at scoring inside with a bunch of little floaters and flip shots that shouldn't go in, but do anyway. He does not draw contact and get to the free throw line at an acceptable level, which is too bad because he shoots 90% from the line. 4) His defense is a work in progress. Against isolation, he does reasonably well. He can stay in front of his man and force a bad shot, but he is not particularly long, so taller guards can just shoot over him. The eyeball test tells me that he has figured out a lot of things about team defense this year with Malone. He generally ices picks properly, tracks his man off the ball well, rotates down low when he needs to guard the paint against an entry pass, fights through picks to get back in the play. So, right place, right time, but it doesn't matter because our team defense is simply awful and he lacks the physical tools to be an effective stopper. Case in point, he is generally the only King to recover properly on a fast break, which is almost comical because he just does not have the leaping ability to challenge the shot. He is going to be a defensive liability, but with a team that plays good defense, he shouldn't be a glaring one. 5) Despite the crappy situation he has been in, he has been a consummate pro, a hard worker, a very good teammate, and is well-liked by everyone in the front office and the community. An important caveat here is that he has a small but very obnoxious and vocal fanbase who can't get it through their skulls that Jimmer will never be the guy he was in college in the pros. All that said, I don't know that he is a great fit for the Bulls. Augustin is a better backup point guard, in that he can run an offense smoothly, and scores well enough. I think JImmer is a pretty good facsimile of a prime Steve Kerr, meaning he needs to find a ball-dominant slashing wing for whom he can space the floor and knock down a few triples a night. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 124.109.115.234
