http://0rz.tw/KVQex A likely top-10 pick last year, Cole Aldrich elected to return for his junior season at Kansas, a move that surprised some considering the obvious risks involved. With the demand for long-armed, mobile 7-foot centers with strong rebounding and defensive skills always being extremely high, though, Aldrich’ s margin for error was obviously much greater than that of a prospect like Willie Warren or Craig Brackins, who have seen their decisions back-fire in a major way. 去年 Aldrich就有樂透區內的身價但是他選擇回校這震驚了不少人有著長臂七呎還有籃板能力跟防守技巧的長人必定是各家垂涎然而事後證明Aldrich多回校一年似乎打的比想像中更為退步 From a statistical standpoint, it’s somewhat troubling to see the lack of progress Aldrich has made this past season. His numbers are down across the board, even when adjusting for the fact that he’s playing 3 minutes less per game. Aldrich is scoring significantly less (16.3 per-40 pace adjusted compared to 19.9 last season), grabbing fewer rebounds, is substantially less efficient (converting 55% of his 2-pointers compared with 60% last season) and has seen his free throw percentage take a dramatic hit (from 79% to 68%). 談到數據面看起來是有些下降他的出賽時間掉了三分鐘得分從每40分鐘19.9分掉到每40分鐘16.3分籃板也下降得分效率也下降 60%的兩分球命中率掉到55% 罰球命中率 79% 掉到 68% The only area he’s improved in significantly is in his shot-blocking, as he’ s rejecting 5.2 blocks per-40p this season, compared with 3.6 last season. NBA teams always want to see young big men improving year by year, and the fact that he doesn’t appear to have done that is something that will have to research more deeply and draw their own conclusions about. 唯一進步的是蓋火鍋的能力他平均每40分鐘能敲出5.2個火鍋比去年的 3.6個更嚇人 NBA球隊喜歡看到球員的進步如果球員本身沒有太多改變否則他們似乎就找不到更深入的研究話題 The prevailing opinion amongst NBA scouts has always been that Aldrich is a likely role-player at the next level—a player who projects as a significant presence in the paint defensively and on the glass, but can’t be expected to score much more than what his guards are able to create for him around the basket. 普遍的評價是Aldrich在NBA會是一名角色球員而且歸類成防守型的禁區球員但是得分能力不強 His age and the production he achieved as a sophomore left at least a glimmer of hope that he can develop into a bit more than that, though, which is what you would hope from a potential top-5 pick. His lack of improvement as a junior may have closed the door on that optimism somewhat in the minds of many decision makers, as it’s hard not to come to the conclusion that he’s taken a step backwards this year. 他的年齡也讓人感覺他要在球技上有大躍進有些困難當然這是用前五名的高標去檢視對他抱與厚望的人漸漸減少當然與他日益退步的成績有關 Offensively, Aldrich’s limitations remain fairly glaring, something that has only been highlighted by the new weapons (mainly Xavier Henry, Marcus Morris) that have emerged for Kansas this season, and are often far more aggressive than him. 進攻上 , 缺點很明顯常常只是隊友highlight鏡頭的陪襯 (Xavier Henry, Marcus Morris) 並且隊友在進攻上常常比他積極許多 Aldrich is the type of player who is best suited for having shots created for him, something that has happened with far less regularity this season according to the data we have at our disposal. He struggles to do much of anything if unable to establish position deep inside the paint, looking fairly mechanical with his movements at times and downright uncomfortable in others. He has a basic spin-move, a raw drop-step and a simple jump-hook in his arsenal, but lacks fluidity in his offensive game, is limited with his left hand and tends to just throw the ball up on the rim at times, hoping for the best. 他是那種要人餵球給他才能得分的球員然而今年連這個他做起來都有點吃力今年根據資料顯示今年他如果沒有拿到籃下絕佳位置的機會就變的不會打球了感覺很像機器人他有一些基本功如轉身下後撤步跟小勾射但是都不純熟有時只能隨便亂拋試試運氣 Aldrich sets terrific screens and is a tremendous finisher around the paint in pick and roll situations and off simple drive and dish plays with his excellent length and solid leaping ability, but he doesn’t seem to be getting quite as many good looks around the rim as he did last season. He’s instead often being forced to create shots on his own in one on situations, which is clearly not his strength, as he doesn’t know how to use his body quite as well as you might hope at this stage, and he possesses just average touch and footwork. 他的screen作的很好跟進也非常棒甚至有一些小切入跟傳小球的能力但是對籃下的感覺已經沒有去年出色常常被迫做出不是他能力範圍的出手他不太像有好的身體控制能力手感跟腳步都很一般 Aldrich has yet to hit the 20-point mark in a single game this year at this point, and has been largely mediocre at times in Big 12 conference play. He doesn’t dominate even extremely weak opposition at the college level, which leaves many questions marks about how much of a factor he’ll be on the offensive end in the NBA. Watching his film, it seems like he lost a bit of confidence at some point in the season, as it doesn’t really seem like he always wants the ball. 還沒有單場20分過在大學他對上弱隊的禁區甚至沒辦法穩贏這讓他在NBA的強度對抗上產生很大的問號看影片可以看出他的信心全失要球也不積極的現象 (譯:可能一切都跟他奶奶今年過世有關) The place where Aldrich may have taken the biggest step back is with his shooting. Last year he attempted 57 jump-shots, making nearly 50% of his attempts from mid-range, while this year he’s attempted just 21, hitting about 35% of his attempts. 最大的退步是投射去年他的57球跳投有50%的命中率今年他只投了21球並且只有35%的命中率 Aldrich has always sported very unorthodox shooting mechanics, as the violent slingshot motion he shows, cocking ball way behind his back, was never going to be the optimal to get his shot off. While this didn’t affect his effectiveness as a jump-shooter last year, it’s really been a factor this year. His shooting woes have translated to the free throw line as well, where he’s shooting 11% worse (from 79% to 68%) than he did last season. While no one will be drafting Aldrich for his jump-shooting ability, the fact that he could make defenses work a bit more by forcing them to respect his mid-range jumper was an added bonus that he can no longer claim as a part of his repertoire. 他的投射姿勢很不傳統很像在射彈弓一樣把球高舉到背部後發射看起來就像不會進去年這個動作還OK不會影響命中率但今年就不行了進而影響到他的罰球準度的退步 (79% to 68%) 我們認真的說他在進攻上的表現是沒有NBA球隊敢選他的他必須在防守上讓NBA球隊印象深刻才行 As a defender and rebounder is where Aldrich continues to shine as a highly effective and NBA-ready big man prospect, one who could likely already be seeing minutes in most teams’ frontcourt. He ranks as the 5th best rebounding prospect in college basketball on a per-minute basis, at over 14 per-40 pace adjusted, similar to last year. His size and length allows him to go well out of his area at times for offensive rebounds, and he does a fine job boxing out on the defensive glass as well, something that should translate very effectively to the NBA. 作為一個防守者是他的專長他已經是個NBA等級的防守長人籃板能力跟去年相比沒有退步可以排上大學裡的前五傑他一樣有可以離開自己的領空爭奪籃板的能力卡位做的也OK 這些都是NBA等級的即戰力 Defensively, Aldrich has terrific lower body strength which renders him extremely difficult to back down in the post. This makes him a very useful player to counter against the type of old-school back to the basket centers (Shaq, Yao, Marc Gasol, etc) that are still found in today’s NBA, something that many teams just don’t have. He uses his outstanding wingspan very effectively to contest shots in the paint, being very fundamentally sound in the way he gets his long arms right in his defender’s face to deny good looks at the basket. 他有很棒的下盤力量讓他的低位防守牢不可破讓他可以守住很多老球皮如Shaq, Yao, Marc Gasol 他用他的長臂+基本功紮紮實實時的往進攻者的臉上伺候擋住他們的投籃視線 Aldrich is a much better pick and roll defender than you might expect relative to most centers in his mold, as he does a tremendous job of stepping out, hedging screens and then recovering effectively, showing nice timing, solid effort and good fundamentals in the process. NBA coaches will love this part of his game, as it’s the thing that most big men tend to struggle with the most, especially early on in their careers. His lack of lateral quickness will get exposed from time to time in one on one situations, especially when forced to switch on the perimeter, but that shouldn’t be too much of an issue against most NBA centers. 他是個好的 pick and roll防守者他會對到每個screen然後即時的回去幫助隊友協防展現出很棒的時間差的拿捏跟基本功 NBA很多教練會喜歡這樣的球員尤其是這是很多NBA長人都做不到的防守功力 (況且他還是新人) 但他缺乏橫移能力如果錯守到小後衛會被切如果只是對抗長人那就沒有問題 Perhaps Aldrich’s biggest asset defensively revolves around his shot-blocking ability, where he yet again ranks in the top 5 amongst draft prospects, thanks to his terrific length and timing. He’s the type of shot-blocker who stays out of foul trouble, rarely goal-tends and usually keeps balls in-bounds on top of that, often showing the wherewithal to tip it to a teammate and ignite the fast break, which is a big plus. 他最大的防守資產是火鍋他是那種火鍋滿天飛但是卻不會賠上犯規的球員而且也不常有goal-tend的違例蓋完後還能牢牢把球控制在手上常常出現蓋完火鍋後長傳給隊友發動快攻的美妙鏡頭 While some may balk at using an extremely high pick on a player who projects as a very effective defender and rebounder and limited scorer, big men with Aldrich’s physical tools are very difficult to come by. Even though his upside may not be off the charts, he doesn’t have very much downside either, as you pretty much know what you’re getting here, which is an excellent all-around role-player, and an Academic All-American on top of that. A good NCAA tournament showing will help Aldrich enter the draft process with some strong momentum behind him, but teams should be comfortable at this point with the type of prospect he is. 雖然他在進攻上的缺失會讓人怕用很高順位選他會不划算並且他沒有如預期成長成大物中鋒但是也沒有太大的缺點就是是個保險股是個高級的角色球員雖然NCAA錦標賽的表現能幫他加一點分但是大部分想知道有關於他的東西應該各隊已經調查的清清楚楚了 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.121.43.88 ※ 編輯: RonArtest93 來自: 59.121.43.88 (04/25 20:27)
