http://0rz.tw/OOpq7 Nearly a month after reports began circulating that Keith “Tiny” Gallon received $3,000 from a financial advisor, the 6-8 power forward decided to enter the NBA draft. This former McDonald’s All-American and Oak Hill Academy product had a solid freshman campaign despite playing for one of the most disappointing teams in the country. Although he’s anything but a lock to get drafted, he’s still an intriguing prospect who is worth looking at. 再被爆出接受贊助商金錢支援的流言後 Gallon選擇投入今年的NBA選秀他所屬的球隊是一隻今年表現令人失望的隊伍但是Gallon仍然是個可以好好觀察的人選 Gallon is a bit of a mixed bag at this stage. He hasn’t quite developed an identity of what kind of player he is. On one hand, he’s a powerful player with a thick frame and terrific rebounding skills. But on the other hand, he plays a lot smaller most of the time -- preferring to drift to the perimeter, handle the ball and settle for outside shots. 他的球技內容很豐富你無法很明確去定義他是哪一個類型的球員他有PF 該有的超厚實身材跟優異的籃板技巧但是同時他可以像後衛一樣來一點控球跟投射 Offensively, Gallon looks comfortable facing up and attacking the basket. He has also showed solid footwork in the form of drop steps, spin moves and up-and-unders; although moves like that are few and far between. Gallon often settles for fadeaways or contested shots from the post. He works a lot harder than he has to to get his points. He does possess a nice shooting stroke for a player of his size and has range that extends out easily to 17 feet. It’s not out of the question to see him develop 3-point range in the near future based on his effortless stroke. 進攻端他的單打技巧非常出色他有很棒的禁區腳步, 在轉身 , 晃起對手的假動作等等方面都作的出來雖然他使用這些技巧的機率不多多半他喜歡翻身跳投或是籃下攪和居多有時他甚至拼搶作的過度了以他的身材而言他也有非常好的中距離可以拉到17 feet外投籃不要意外未來進NBA他會成為一個可以投三分的胖子 One aspect that really stood out about Gallon’s game was his prowess as a rebounder. He averaged 13 rebounds per 40 minutes, pace adjusted, which was good for 15th in our entire database . He has great hands and is aggressive when pursuing the ball, often rebounding the ball in traffic -- as evidenced by his 4.5 offensive rebounds per 40 minutes. These are impressive numbers, especially considering that he got them in the tough Big 12 conference. 另一個強項是籃板他有一雙大手可以搶下任何人堆中的進攻籃板用40分鐘換算他可以搶下 4.5 個進攻籃板這數字非常棒因為這是在高強度的Big 12 分區創下的 Gallon’s propensity to turn the ball over is a bit discouraging. His assist-to-turnover ratio of .34 was 20th worst in our database . His tendency to drive into traffic and force tough passes caused him to turn the ball over on 24% of his possessions last season. Clearly Gallon is still trying to figure out his limitations as a basketball player. 失誤過多是他令人失望的地方在失誤排行榜可以排到倒數20 他習慣在人堆中傳些高難度的球他必須習慣做些他本分內的事就好 On the defensive end is where Gallon struggles the most. He doesn’t use his size to his advantage and often allows opponents to establish good position in the post, as opposed to fighting them off the spot. He also has an average wingspan, which makes it more difficult for him to impact shots from longer players. 防守也是缺點長那麼壯但是卻會被對手輕易佔據防守位置臂展比較一般這讓他要去蓋到外圍射手的球比較困難 In addition, his lateral speed is troubling. He can be a liability defending the pick-and-roll or defending any mobile big man off the dribble. He also bites on pump fakes frequently, highlighting a lack of discipline and focus. Lastly, his desire at this end is questionable at times. 橫移不佳所以守不太住pick-and-roll跟有活動力的長人因為缺乏訓練跟專注的關係常常會被假動作騙起來而且他對改善防守沒有很高的熱情 He has battled weight issues dating back to his high school days and fatigue is definitely a cause for concern. He was often hunched over or standing straight up, trying to conserve his energy. Considering the fact that Gallon will certainly not be an offensive reference, at least early on in his career —he must improve his defensive skills substantially to see minutes in the NBA down the road. 體重問題給他帶來場上的疲勞常常看他彎腰試著多節省些體力考慮到他NBA前期生涯參與進攻的比重可能不高他必須在防守上多下苦工才是 Gallon is a player who is still very much trying to figure out his niche on the basketball court, which is why it’s disappointing that his college career ended so quickly. He has solid ballhandling skills and he’s certainly nimble for his size, but he’s not capable of operating consistently from the outside just yet. 他還在尋找自己最適合的打球方式以他的SIZE來說他的控球跟靈活性非常棒只是他的外圍表現還不夠穩定 Once he learns to embrace his size and operate closer to the basket, his value as a player will surely increase. At only 19 years old, he’ll be a professional somewhere — possibly in the D-League -- and will be an interesting player to keep an eye on as he develops in the coming years. 找到自己的最佳體態跟打的更靠近籃下一點是他的目標他才19歲進步空間很大值得注意可能可以從發展聯盟先養起 Gallon has the option to pull his name off the early-entry list on June 14 and become automatically eligible for the 2011 draft if he so chooses. His stock is close to rock bottom at this point, and this draft is incredibly stacked at his position, so that may be something he will want to consider, rather than going undrafted. A strong year in the D-League or overseas could put him in much better position to get picked and make an NBA roster in 2011. 今年長人太多他老兄可以選擇明年再來所以即使他報名了選秀 6/14前都可以抽手也許去海外打球或是到D-League發展聯盟先磨練個一年明年再選也不錯高光 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBRkNnU69iE
