Clippers Make Willie Warren Their First NBA D-League Assignment
The Los Angeles Clippers announced today that they have assigned rookie
Willie Warren to the NBA Development League's Bakersfield Jam. The assignment
marks the first time that the Clippers have assigned a player to the D-League
despite there being 141 total assignments since the system was put in place in
2005.
快艇宣佈將Willie Warren下放到D-League。
Better late than never, I guess, as now only the New York Knicks and Indiana
Pacers remain as teams that have never assigned a player to the D-League.
Warren, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, was selected by the Clippers with the 54th
pick of the second round in this year's NBA Draft after widely being considered
a likely top-10 pick had he left Oklahoma after his freshman season. In 15
games with the Clippers this season, he's averaging 2.1 points and 1.3 assists
in 7.8 minutes while shooting just 42 percent from the field.
今年第54順位的SG。15場PPG 2.1, APG 1.3, 42% FG, 7.8minPG.
It's really kind of puzzling that it took so long for the Clippers to assign
Warren to the Jam considering he went nearly two months -- Nov. 28 to Jan. 19
-- without actually getting on the court for the Clips. Now, when the Clippers
could actually use him with Eric Gordon missing time due to injury, they've
instead upped Rasual Butler's minutes instead of giving Warren a chance to show
what he's learned from sitting on the bench for the past two months.
令人費解的是晾了將近兩個月才將他丟到D-League。而且現在Gordon受傷了，快艇選擇
Butler而不給坐了兩個月板凳的Warren機會。
The timing could certainly help out Bakersfield, however, as they're missing
starting shooting guard Trey Johnson now that he's in the NBA on a call-up with
the Toronto Raptors. In their most recent game, a 98-81 loss to the Reno
Bighorns, the Jam actually led by six points going into halftime before
Bakersfield's lack of a go-to scorer slowly took them out of the game.
In that department, Warren should surely help as he was considered him one of
the most talented offensive players in the draft last season. Aside from
finally getting consistent playing time, though, he'll also have to focus on
his shot-selection, defense and consistency while in the D-League if he's
expecting to eventually be a rotation player in the NBA.
Warren is expected to join the Jam for the team's home game against the
Springfield Armor on Friday where he'll match-up against fellow offensive
threats in JamesOn Curry and Scottie Reynolds.
