Is There Still Hope for Spencer Hawes? 阿屁還有救嗎？ http://0rz.tw/5PC6f Ziller evaluated Spencer Hawes' defense this morning. If you haven't read it yet, go there first. TZ concluded the article with the following line: "But Hawes is young and you can't teach size. So hope lives another day." As I read that line, it sounded very familiar. It seems like we've been using that explanation (or some may call it an excuse) for a while now. But does that make it any less true? Focusing on Spencer as a whole, not just his defense, I decided to explore the idea further. Ziller發表了篇檢視阿屁防守的文章﹝本版#1BxeiSGA﹞，如果還沒看過，請先看看那篇文章吧，TZ最後下結語用了這段話：「但阿屁還很年輕，而且身高是敎不來的，所以繼續保持希望吧。」當我看到這，我有種熟悉的感覺，我們已經依此論點為阿屁辯解了一段時間﹝當然也有人認為是藉口﹞，但這樣的說法是否有任何可靠性？只專注在阿屁身上過於鑽牛角尖，所以我將不設限於他的防守，以此論點做更進一步探討。 First, the simple facts are that Spencer Hawes just turned 22 years old, and is a legit 7-footer. He's a few months younger than Greg Oden's (based on Oden's stated age, 15 years younger than Oden's estimated actual age). Hawes is now the same age as Jermaine O'Neal was when he made the leap from bench player to starter. That was obviously a different scenario due to the O'Neal going to the Pacers who, you know, actually played him. But imagine a Portland fan at that time. Think of the frustration with O'Neal's lack of development. For his first three seasons, O'Neal's points per 36 minutes declined. He was inconsistent at best. Some of this can be explained by inconsistent minutes. O'Neal did not have the faith of the coaches, so every mistake mattered. Looking at Hawes, there are some similarities. But I would say that the numbers are more encouraging. Due to the differences in playing time, I'm strictly focusing on stats per 36 minutes. Hawes has been more consistent than O'Neal was. With the exceptions of rebounding (which has declined each of Spencer's three season when looking at per 36 stats) and points (which declined from 14.0 to 13.7 per 36 minutes), Hawes has been consistent or improving in all categories. It is, of course, troubling that Hawes has been less consistent in the 2 categories most associated with NBA centers. But beyond stats, what has been the scenario? 3 different coaches. Line-up changes. Inconsistent roles in the offense. Jermaine O'Neal shows us that if a coach has faith in a player and gives him consistency, there can be a marked improvement. 首先阿屁才22歲，是個身材標準的七呎大漢，他比Greg Oden還年輕幾個月﹝當然是基於官方年齡，只看臉的話至少差15歲﹞。阿屁和Jermaine O'Neal從板凳躍居先發的時候一樣大，小歐從拓荒者轉到溜馬後有截然不同的表現，溜馬給予他足夠的揮灑空間，可以猜想當時拓荒者的球迷的確會認為球隊培養小歐的計畫失敗，小歐生涯的前三個球季平均每36分鐘的得分一直在下跌，他沒辦法保持穩定，但這也可以解釋是因為不穩定的上場時間造成的，小歐不得教練的愛，所以一點小錯都會被放大檢視。回頭看看阿屁，兩者間有一些些相似，但我要說的數據是比較正面的，由於上場時間有異，所以我直接聚焦在平均每36分鐘的數據上，阿屁的表現比小歐穩定，除了籃板﹝阿屁三年來的籃板以每36分鐘計算一直在下滑﹞和得分﹝由上季的14.0降為13.7﹞外，阿屁其他的數據就算沒進步也能持平，當然阿屁下滑的兩項數據是NBA中鋒最常被檢視的部份，但在數據之外也應該考慮其他因素，三年三位總教練、球隊陣容更迭和進攻角色的變化，小歐的例子告訴我們，如果教練對球員保持信心，給予他穩定的上場時間，球員就能用進步做回報。 Back to Spencer's age, I challenge you to look at per game or per 36 minutes stats for Andrew Bogut, Dwight Howard, Jermaine O'Neal, or Al Jefferson. At age 21, all of these players were at different points in their careers, some were already considered successful, other not as much. But they all saw an increase in overall play and productivity at age 22. I've gone back and forth on whether or not I should defend Hawes. There are times I'm ready to write him off, but I ultimately keep coming back to the idea of patience and faith. He's still young, he still has plenty of time ahead. He can help ensure success by putting the work in, and by making sure everyone can see him putting the work in. Make sure Westphal sees the work. Make sure the fans can see it. Be visible. But I believe he can do it. So hope lives another day. Indeed. 回到阿屁的年紀，我希望你能去看看Andrew Bogut、Dwight Howard、 Jermaine O'Neal或是Al Jefferson在21歲時的平均數據或是每36分鐘的平均數據，這些球員目前的表現不盡相同，有些人已經備受肯定，有些人則沒有，但相同的是他們在22歲時表現和效率都有明顯的進步。是否該為阿屁說話讓我掙扎了很久，很多次我都想判他出局，但最後我還是收手，繼續對他保持耐心和信心，他還年輕，還有時間，他可以靠自己的能力，藉由讓大家能看到他的能力展現來證明他自己，讓西法能看見，讓球迷能看見。讓大家看看你的能耐吧！阿屁。我相信他可以。所以繼續保持希望吧。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.176.193 ※ 編輯: kingpredrag 來自: 118.167.176.193 (05/16 13:03)
