Questions About Maturity, ADD Cause Whiteside to Fall From First Round ADD和成熟疑慮讓白邊跌出首輪 http://0rz.tw/wF3hy SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The good news for Hassan Whiteside: he landed with one of the two teams he was hoping to play for. The bad news: the 7-footer from Marshall, who was once considered a lottery pick, saw 32 players get selected before him. In what may have been the most surprising slide of the NBA Draft, Whiteside was shockingly there for Sacramento's taking at No. 33 for a number of reasons. He is a raw talent, albeit a potentially dynamic one. He played in Conference USA, although he dominated the lower-level competition and was named the conference's top freshman and Defensive Player of the Year after leading the NCAA in blocked shots. 對白邊而言，好消息是他被他最想效力的兩支球隊之一選中；壞消息是，被預測為樂透區人選的白邊連續聽了32位新秀的名字被念出來才輪到他。這可能是本屆選秀的最大跌幅，白邊直到#33才被國王選走是有一些原因的。他是塊璞玉，是個活力十足的球員，本季他在USA分區打球，他在次一級的分區呼風喚雨，榮譍該區的最佳新人以及最佳防守球員，同時他也是今年NCAA的火鍋王。 Yet his agent, Andre Buck, confirmed what a league scout told FanHouse, that questions about the 21-year-old's maturity and his struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder appear to have scared some teams into passing on him. Buck said Whiteside's ADD was diagnosed during his one season at Marshall, where he began to take medication to help with his focus but stopped doing so midway through the season. "He's going to have to figure out how he's going to address it, whether it's medication that's prescribed that helps him be better and that he'll probably take to get better," Buck said by phone. "At Marshall ... he was on medication he didn't like and didn't think was good for him. He stopped taking it. "If he takes it and he's better, people are going to be mad they didn't take him earlier (in the draft). If he uses this as fuel, he could be really good, and teams will be sorry they didn't take him." 他的經紀人Andre Buck證實聯盟球探告訴本站的消息，白邊的成熟疑慮以及他患有注意力缺乏症嚇跑了不少球隊。 Buck說白邊的ADD在大學時已經該始接受治療，他利用藥物來集中注意力，但在球季中他把藥停了。 Buck透過電話表示：「他正在學習如何面對這個問題，藥物治療的確有改善情況，因此他可以讓自己的更好。但他並不喜歡藥物治療，他覺得這種治療對他不好，所以他把藥停了。」「如果他記取這次的失敗來讓自己變的更強，人們將會後悔為甚麼沒有儘早把他拿下，只要他用這件事砥礪自己，他會變的更好，錯過他的球隊將會對自己的選擇感到遺憾。」 Still, Whiteside and Buck didn't expect this. They had heard that Houston might take him with the 14th pick, or perhaps Memphis somewhere in the teens. The Atlanta Hawks were asking about him for their 24th pick, and even Miami looked like a possibility at No. 32. But Buck said Whiteside liked the fit in Sacramento all along, as the Kings had worked him out in Sacramento twice. The latest session last weekend included top-10 picks Ekpe Udoh (No. 6, Golden State) and Greg Monroe (No. 7, Detroit). Whiteside, however, will have to make his money as a non-guaranteed second-round pick. "I heard throughout the process that teams were concerned about his readiness to play, and a little bit of the lack of experience he had, the level he played at," Buck said. "We're still surprised, but the silver lining is he had two teams he wanted to go to and Sac was one of them." 白邊和Buck並沒有預料到今天的局面，他們有聽過火箭會用#14 選他的消息；灰熊也可能用手中的首輪籤選他；老鷹也在探詢能否用#24選到他；甚至有熱火希望能用#32來得到他的傳聞。不過Buck說白邊喜歡沙加緬度﹝除了Hell no，大家都愛沙加緬度XD﹞，國王兩度邀他來沙城試訓，最後一次是上週末，成員包括前十順位的烏東和夢蘿，然而只有白邊得簽下一份第二輪的非保證合約。「我聽說各隊擔憂他對比賽的解讀能力，缺乏經驗以及先前待的分區水準較低的問題，值得慶幸的是他被國王選走，這是他最想效力的兩支隊伍之一。」 One NBA personnel man said his team was "scared" by Whiteside, but didn't elaborate on why. A general manager questioned his desire to improve and his lack of an offensive game. But for the Kings, those concerns mean little because of where he was picked. Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie said Whiteside's ADD wasn't on his medical charts and was unconcerned when asked about it. Buck said the team "environment around him" will be key in his development. Being the 33rd pick, of course, means Whiteside becomes a low-risk, high-reward proposition. And having already added significantly to their frontcourt with the recent trade for Samuel Dalembert and Thursday's selection of Kentucky center DeMarcus Cousins with the fifth pick, the Kings hope the biggest slide of 2010 becomes one of the biggest steals. 有一位NBA官方人員說他的球隊被白邊嚇到，但他沒有細說原因；另外有一位GM質疑白邊對於磨練自身球技的渴望以及缺乏進攻能力的問題。但對國王而言，這些疑慮都不太重要，因為他們是只用#33就選到白邊，，國王總裁Geoff Petrie認為白邊的ADD不值得擔憂。Buck說「球隊的環境」將是培養白邊的關鍵所在。 #33中選，讓白邊變成一個低風險高報酬的投資，他將和Sammy以及表弟一起加入國王的前場陣容，國王希望2010年最大崩盤最終能成為2010年最大的一「偷」。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.168.41
