http://0rz.tw/OOpq7 Toward the end of his freshman season, Cincinnati shooting guard Lance Stephenson surprisingly announced that he would return for his sophomore year. Weeks later, he shocked few when he reneged on that announcement and entered the NBA Draft with an agent (reportedly his lawyer, Alberto Ebanks). While Stephenson always seemed like a one-and-done player, he had a subpar freshman season that exposed many of his flaws and showed the limit of his potential. Lance Stephenson 今年剛選佈返校後馬上接連反悔投入參選 (譯: 這哪招?) 他是個一對一的單打高手但是同時缺點也很明顯 Physically speaking, Stephenson has solid height for an NBA shooting guard at 6-5 with good length and a strong frame. As was the case in high school, he relies on his strength to overpower weaker players and compensate for his lack of athleticism. From a conditioning standpoint, he did not appear to be in ideal shape this past season, likely carrying an extra 10-15 pounds on his thick frame. He is quick in the open floor, but lacks the explosiveness and lateral quickness expected from wings at the next level. While he will continue to work on his strength and conditioning, there is no doubt that Stephenson is a below average athlete in the NBA. 這樣說說好了他的漢草很好但體能卻不彰在高中他用身材就能打暴一堆人但在NBA這不太可能發生而且他有點超出理想身材大概多了 10~15磅他在快攻時算快但是以侧翼來說他的橫移跟滲透力皆欠佳 His offensive skill set, which is heavily reliant on isolations and muscling his way to the basket, will probably have to be adapted at the next level, given his lack of explosiveness and quickness. While Stephenson’s touch around the basket is not bad, his overall shooting during his freshman season was extremely poor. He shot a dismal 21.9% from beyond the arc, converted under 50% from inside the arc and made just 66% of his foul shots. 打球方式大量的依靠單打獨鬥外線糟的可以而且罰球不佳 (66%) On film, his shooting motion with his feet set is not terrible. He has a fairly fluid motion and release. But he has issues with excess lower body movement, and when he shoots off the dribble, his mechanics are less consistent and he has a tendency to fade away while shooting. 他的投籃姿勢不算太糟就是下半身的力量使用不太正確當定點投射時姿勢會非常僵硬而且常使用高難度的fade away跳投 The biggest issue here is Stephenson’s decision making. He settles for bad shot after bad shot, in spite of miserable percentages and open teammates. He seems to lack any sort of understanding of shot selection. Even when his shots were not falling, he forced the issue and, if his teammates sought their own offense, he tended to pout and fade into the background. This is likely the primary cause for concern from NBA scouts, as Stephenson has never really shown the ability to play team-oriented basketball and could certainly have issues adapting to a situation where he’s simply a role player. 他的出手選擇糟透眼中可以說只有籃框而沒有隊友命中率也不佳好像隊友跟他不是同一隊的一樣這讓很多NBA球探專家覺得他根本不懂團隊籃球甚至連在NBA當個好角色球員都是個問題 Stephenson does a good job of creating space off the dribble, showing solid ball-handling skills for his size. The effectiveness of his mid-range game suffers due to his poor shot selection, but he has shown an ability to find shots inside the arc and pull up off the dribble. Similarly, he was at his best last season when he attacked the basket both in transition and in half court situations, where he could use his size and strength to his advantage. He must improve his willingness to find the open man, though, as his tunnel vision often results in offensive fouls and untimely turnovers. 他的運球技巧還不錯善於配合體型優勢創造空間之前說過他出手選擇很糟但是停球時他的禁區小球傳的不錯進攻籃框上他當然有一些進攻上佳作無論是在半場或全場攻擊時但顯然他還要加強傳球"意願" 讓他避免不必要的進攻犯規跟失誤 Though Cincinnati did not field the most competitive or disciplined team last season, Stephenson’s lack of offensive efficiency and selfish style of play have been omnipresent throughout his career. During workouts, he must somehow convince scouts that he is capable of playing team-oriented basketball and has the ability to produce efficiently in a smaller role. As we have written before, Stephenson possesses NBA-caliber scoring abilities. His average athleticism and questionable decision making ability, however, may force him to work his way up through the D-League first. 雖然學校不強但不代表他就可以這樣無止境的的自幹下去在NBA選前測試他要向球探展現出 "他是可以打團隊籃球的" 態度以及他能勝任NBA SF的角色他有NBA的得分即戰力水準但如果沒辦法打團隊籃球就只能放到發展聯盟去練 On the defensive end, Stephenson did a decent job at Cinncinati, but his lack of lateral quickness limits his potential in this area at the next level. He will struggle to guard bigger and more athletic guards in the NBA, though his strength and length will likely work in his favor. His strong frame also helps him on the boards, where he averages 7.5 rebounds per 40 minutes, pace adjusted -- solid numbers for a wing player. 他的防守中等但是缺乏橫移能力可能讓他在防守NBA等級的球員出現困難他的最大優勢是身材跟長臂這也同時幫助他搶籃板他的籃板能力是大學籃壇中的側翼球員裡屬一數二的 His behavior off of the court has also been a well-documented issue in recent years. He stayed out of trouble at Cincinnati, but he has accumulated quite a collection of red flags during his brief time as an amateur basketball player. Any NBA team that considers drafting him will have to do extensive research about his background, and decipher why he was in such a big rush to leave Cincinnati after such a sub-par freshman season. 場外問題不少作為一個業餘籃球員已經累積了不少大過小過 NBA選他的球隊要三思 While there are a tremendous amount of obstacles in his way, Stephenson still has the potential to be a contributor at the next level at some point down the road. While his lack of explosiveness and mediocre shot selection are areas of significant concern, he has good scoring instincts and a decent offensive repertoire. Stephenson is sure to be one of the most controversial players in the draft. There is no guarantee that he will even be picked, but he may be able to carve out a career for himself regardless, a la Stephen Jackson. 會是選秀會場上最具爭議的球員之一也許不會被任何隊選上但是即使如此NBA也有許多選秀不得志但後來發光發熱的球員如Stephen Jackson 對他來說是個好榜樣 === 天花板據說是.............RonArtest 有沒有換了ID 還是擺脫不了阿泰的八卦 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.121.146.9
