http://0rz.tw/ZcRbo Many draft pundits don't list an international player worthy of being selected in this year's top six, where the Kings are guaranteed to pick based on finishing with the third-worst record in the NBA. 許多選秀專家都不認為國際球員值得在今年的頭六順位被選。 But Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie was still compelled to leave Friday for Europe and spend at least eight days evaluating talent. 但Petrie還是到歐洲去了，至少會花八天。 Last year's trip was about gathering information on top-10 picks Ricky Rubio and Brandon Jennings, among others. 去年是去看Rubio和建寧和其他球員。 The Kings passed on Rubio, the flashy Spanish point guard, in favor of Tyreke Evans with the fourth pick. Petrie didn't get to see much of Jennings, who fell to 10th after playing sparingly for his Italian team. 國王最後跳過Rubio選了reke。 Petrie said there are still plenty of reasons to spend time overseas. He'll attend the Euroleague Final Four from Friday through next Sunday in Paris. Playing in the Final Four is FC Barcelona, which includes Rubio and Xavier Rabaseda, who has entered his name into the draft. Petrie說仍然有很多原因去花時間在海外。他仍然會去看歐洲聯盟最後四強。現在在打四強的是巴塞，裡面有Rubio和Xavier已經有參加選秀。 Petrie said he plans to go to a game and practice in Treviso, Italy, and would figure out other venues to attend. Petrie說他計劃去看比賽和練習，還會出席別的場合。 Kings international scout Andrea Gracis provides Petrie with reports on prospects throughout the season and gives Petrie tips on players to watch. 國王國際球探Andrea Gracis提供Petrie整季的報告，給Petrie觀察球員的提示。 "It's really about keeping your information on players as current as possible," Petrie said last week. 「這真的是要盡量保持球員的資料是最新的」Petrie說 Even if he doesn't draft any of the players he scouts, Petrie is trying to determine if someone may fit in with the Kings down the road. 就算他沒有選任何他探查過的球員，Petrie還是在試著去決定是否有球員適合國王。 The Kings followed Omri Casspi for a couple of years after seeing him play in Europe before drafting him with the 23rd pick last year. The Kings also had success in the past with Peja Stojakovic and Hedo Turkoglu. 國王在去年選omri之前已經跟了他幾年。之前國王也很成功地選了Peja和火槍兵。 There are 23 international players who have put their names into the draft. While United States college players have until May 8 to pull out of the draft, international players have until June 14. 有23名國際球員參加選秀。美國大學球員可以在5/8退出選秀，國際球員則是6/14 Petrie didn't rule out bringing over international players next month for workouts. Petrie不排除下個月帶國際球員來測試。 He doesn't expect to find a gem the other 29 NBA teams have missed. 他不預期可以找到別人不知道的千古奇才。 "I don't think there are any players that nobody 'knows' about," Petrie said. "Some teams may know a little more than others, but I don't think there's any name or people playing that aren't fairly universally known." 「我不認為有球員是別人不知道的，也許有些球隊知道的比別隊多，但我不認為有名字或球員是完全沒人知道的」Petrie說 The trip could also be the first step in trades. The Kings will have $20 million in salary cap space before signing draft picks. 這趟旅行也許也是交易的第一步。國王在簽下今年選秀之前還有20m的空間。 If the Kings don't want to spend much money in free agency, Petrie might be able to swing a deal for a player whose draft rights are owned by another team. 如果國王不想要花大筆鈔票在FA，Petrie也許能夠交易來選秀權利還在別隊身上的球員 (RXBXO?) "There are players that have been previously drafted that haven't come to the NBA, and you get a chance to replenish your data bank a little bit," he said. 「有些球員之前已經被選而沒來的，現在有機會可以重新補充資料庫」 If not a trade, the Kings would have the ability to sign a player at a reasonable price without adding much age to their team. 假設沒交易，國王也有能力簽一名合理價格也不會太老的球員 "There's always the potential for the 24-, 25-, 26-year-old European player that didn't get drafted but has gotten better and are potential free-agent players," Petrie said. "It's always an interesting trip." 「有很多24、25、26歲有潛力的歐洲球員之前沒有被選，但已經變得更好，也是個潛在的 FA，這會是趟有趣的旅途」 The level of athleticism in Europe isn't as high as it is in the NBA, but the style of play isn't much different, Petrie said. 歐洲的運動層級並不如nba來的高，但打球的風格並沒有太大的差異，Petrie說。 Centers are utilized a little more in Europe, he said. But just like the NBA, teams overseas are running high pick-and-rolls, driving to the basket and kicking the ball out for open three-pointers. 在歐洲中鋒的功用稍微多一些。但跟NBA一樣，海外的球隊會執行高PNR，然後切入再往外傳之後投三分。 "It's taken over the world," Petrie said. "In general, a lot of the Europeans' composite skill sets are more complete because the system's a little different over there. 「放諸四海皆準，通常有很多歐洲球員的技巧更完整，因為系統有些不一樣。」 "But a lot of structure of the game is very similar." 「但許多比賽的架構是很類似的」 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.130.141.241
