http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/1792855.html Many questions remain in Kingsland, from who the next coach will be to who will fill out the roster by the time the 2009-10 season begins in six months. But one thing is certain: On June 25, the Kings are guaranteed to have their highest draft pick since they took Billy Owens at No. 3 in 1991. And if the pingpong balls fall their way when the picks are determined May 19 and they land at No. 1, it would be just the second time in the Sacramento era (Pervis Ellison, 1989) and fourth time in franchise history (Bob Boozer, 1959, Rod Hundley, 1957 ) they had the top pick. 5月19號就可以知道是第幾順位了。 After a season in which they set a franchise low for wins (17) and surpassed the 1989-90 Kings (23-59) as the worst Kings team in the Sacramento era, the draft offers hope for those who run the team and root for it. Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie is among them, excited at the prospect of landing one of the best amateurs available and optimistic the draft can help expedite the rebuilding. Petrie sat down with The Bee recently to discuss the draft process. And while he certainly wasn't going to tip his hand in evaluating individuals, he shared his thoughts on everything from the way in which this year's preparation has been different to his philosophies regarding the draft exercise he so often refers to as an "inexact science." 今年Petrie選秀前的準備非常不一樣。 ------------------------------------------------------- 以下是記者和Petrie的問答 How has the leadup to the draft been different this year because you essentially knew the pick would be higher than normal? 因為今年順位比以往來得高，那是如何不一樣？ As our season went along and our record being what it is now (16-57 at the time) and where we were earlier … we started to condense our scouting down (earlier) to concentrate on a fewer number of prospects so we could get more looks (at players), knowing that our picks are going to be headed to a much higher part of the draft than we had anticipated and have ever really had in a long time. 當球季一路這樣子下來。我們開始濃縮我們的球探資料，只集中在幾位人選上，所以我們可以看得更多。 A big part of scouting to me is based on … the theory that when you don't see something often, you often don't see it. So in that sense, we concentrated our scouting to a narrower group of players sooner. 對我而言很大一部分的情搜是基於當你沒有常常看某樣東西，你通常就不會看它的理論。所以在那樣的理論下，我們集中我們的情搜在較少的幾位球員身上。 What about the sheer mileage for you this season? Have you bounced around scouting more than in years past to do your homework? 對你而言這季的情搜之旅怎麼樣？你有比往年更努力地做你的功課嗎？ I've been gone a lot. It has all been in the United States. Beyond just the regular-season games, there's the conference tournaments, the NCAAs (tournament). And I probably spent more time than ever watching more college games this year whether I'm here or on the road than I have pro games. I really think with all the games that are broadcast, college and pro, that once you've seen somebody three or four or five times in person, more TV looks (at players) just add to that. It's the same old thing where you're constantly trying to update your mental database about the pros and cons and what you like or don't like about individual players. 我去了很多地方，都在美國。有常規賽，有NCAA的。我今年花了更多時間去看大學比賽，比我看的職業賽還多。當你親眼看到某人很多次，看再多的電視轉播都只是增加那印象罷了。還是一樣的東西，你試著去對每位球員評斷他的優點缺點，你喜歡什麼，你不喜歡什麼，只是試著去不斷更新對他的印象。 How formal are you when it comes to looking at players? Are you there with a notepad? Do you take a voice recorder and speak notes for yourself? Or is it all in your head? 你去看球員的時候是如何？拿著一個筆記本？拿著錄音器做記錄？還是都在你的腦袋裡？ I make some notes, generally, but my personal view on scouting is based on what I see. What we do is we build an individual file on all these players that has statistics, a scouting report, physical history, a biographical history, just about everything that you can find out, and then you can go from there. 一般而言，我有做一些筆記，但我個人對情搜的觀點是基於我所看到的。我們所做的就是我們建立個人檔案，有統計數字、球探報告、身體歷史、生長歷程，就是任何你能夠找得到的，然後你就可以從那裡開始。 Is this a universal database in your office? Is it something that everybody who's on the scouting team has access to? Are guys keeping files on their own? 這個資料庫在你的辦公室？每個情搜部門的都可以存取？每個人都有嗎？ We have scouting services we also use that provide a lot of data. We have video services that do an enormous amount of breaking down and statistical analysis of individual players. It's like a lot of things these days. It's never going to come down to a lack of information. It's about determining what information is most important, what's most relevant. 我們有情搜系統，我們也使用那個來提供很多資料。我們有視訊系統，那用來做很多各別球員的分析和統計。從來不會缺乏資料。關鍵在於判定什麼資訊是最重要的，什麼是最有關聯的。 -------------------------------------------------------------- 相信Petrie應該會給我們一個滿意的答案，畢竟今年又引進一個超強生力軍不過不要忘了DC和CW的事哦。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.169.152.172
