"Spencer has improved in every area," Kings player personnel director Jerry Reynolds said, "but the one weakness I see is that he does not draw fouls. He goes away from contact, and at the end of the day, as a center, you have to go in there where the contact is. Get guys up, go into them." Longtime assistant Pete Carril, who is urging Hawes to master the hook or short bank shot as his go-to move this offseason, says, even more bluntly: "Spencer is going to have to learn to battle low-post players, to take the physical punishment and then return the favor. If he does that, he will not be an ordinary player." "That definitely will be a point of emphasis this summer," Hawes said, nodding. "But the thing to remember is, we're not football players. My whole life I heard, 'You need to get bigger.' I tried eating crappy food to gain weight, and that didn't work. I finally figured it's a natural thing. When it comes, it comes. You can't force it. A lot of times it's not the buffest guy in the gym that's winning. It's the guy with the basketball strength." Rockets assistant Jack Sikma, the former Sonics All-Star center who played with Hawes' uncle, Steve Hawes, and watched the younger Hawes during his Amateur Athletic Union and prep seasons, offered an interesting closing thought on a year when Hawes overcame an abdominal strain and struggled emotionally with the coaching change. "Spencer is never going to be power on power," said Sikma, an excellent rebounder who was known for his sweet stepback jumpers. "He has to be smart, three-quarter (defensive stance), move his feet. Again, you see so much growth. He wants to be the best player on the floor. Does he have the ability to do that? Who knows? But is he going to try to find out? Sure." 或許 Spencer永遠沒有辦法長成我們要的那個樣子沒有power的center 注定會打得很辛苦 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.192.9.95
