※ [本文轉錄自 Timberwolves 看板] 作者: newest (hasta a lavista baby) 看板: Timberwolves 標題: Re: [外電] Joakim Noah, 6-11, PF/C, Junior, Flo … 時間: Fri Jun 1 20:18:12 2007 ※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言： http://draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=2053 In our mind obviously the most impressive player we’ve seen workout thus far, Joakim Noah went a long ways in reminding us why we liked him so much to begin with when we first began discussing his professional potential 18 months ago. The constant swirl of negativity around him coming from the direction of the general public caused us to forget that momentarily, but we’ re more certain than ever now that teams will be making a grave mistake if they decide to pass on him outside of the top few picks in the draft. 在我們看過Joakim Noah的訓練營之後，很明顯的我們對他天賦異稟的潛力很感興趣，這也是為什麼我們在18個月前就這麼喜歡這名球員的原因。雖然來自於公眾的消極性紛爭，讓我們稍微的忘了他的存在，但是我們知道如果不在選秀中用前幾順位選他的話，對球隊會是致命性的錯誤。 Showing that his reputation on the court is anything but an act, Noah was clearly the most intense player we’ve evaluated in the way he approached the workout. He attacked the hoop ferociously on every opportunity, punishing the rim with powerful one-handed slams accompanied by loud, primal grunts (much like a tennis player…). He showed big and incredibly soft hands catching and controlling anything and everything thrown his way, particularly in the two on two drills where Corey Brewer tossed a few difficult passes right around his knees. His length is particularly impressive in the way he finishes around the hoop with jump-hooks, giving him the opportunity to finish plays above the rim in almost every way imaginable, and with either hand. Noah在場上表現出他對比賽的渴望，他在訓練營中表現出他是多麼的具有攻擊性。他不停的在任何機會裡攻擊籃框，他一邊大吼一邊用單手秀了一個兇猛的灌籃。他表現出很不可思議的手感，並且控制了他的防守範圍，特別是他在2v2比賽中，對於Corey Brewer嘗試傳出在他膝蓋高度的球的防守。他的身高對於挑籃出手的成功率也是非常的高，讓他在籃框四周的任一個角落，他都有辦法把球弄進去，而且他可以左右開弓。 As the workout wore on, we thought that fatigue might kick in, especially since Noah and the Florida boys have been “partying like rock stars” since the championship, in his words. He just got here last week as we were reminded on a few occasions. Regardless, Noah kept pushing forward harder and harder, finishing first by a large margin in the full-court sprinting drills and refusing to lose in anything competitive that was thrown his way. He just doesn’t run out of energy no matter what it seems. The poor trainer, Andrew, that was assigned to be a “dummy defender” on one particular play got to experience that first hand, taking a swift elbow to the throat as a reward for his efforts. 當訓練營開始時我們以為他會被疲勞所擊敗，特別是在拿下NCAA冠軍之後的日夜不停的狂歡。但是當他上星期抵達這裡的時候，才讓我們發覺不是這麼一回事。 Noah不停的表現出他的慾望，而且還進行了很大量的全場衝刺訓練，他就是不願意在任何競爭中失敗，他看起來就像是有無窮的精力。這讓可憐的訓練員Andrew在一次假裝是防守者的練習中，被Noah在脖子上架了一拐。 What AIB is working with him the most--as you might imagine—is his jump-shot. Anyone that has seen him shoot a free throw or mid-range jumper knows that he has some of the most awkward mechanics seen in the NCAA in quite some time, flicking the ball from in front of his chest with crazy side-spin. After discussing things over with Noah, the trainers here don’t plan on changing his shooting mechanics for the time being, partially because of the time constraints involved, but more specifically because of how well they say he is shooting it, despite the unconventional appearance. We understand the time constraints involved, but it seems inevitable that something is going to have to give if he is going to reach his full potential as a face the basket, high post power forward. AIB在訓練營中對這小伙子的跳投做了大量的練習，任何人都知道他在NCAA中對於中距離的投射其實沒啥把握，他只是把球從胸口前丟出去(像Marion那樣)。跟Noah討論過後，因為時間不夠的關係，訓練員決定不要去更改他的姿勢，但是大家仍然說他姿勢很奇怪，準頭卻不錯。我們都知道他在進入NBA前的時間不夠充足，但是如果他要提升自己在大前鋒上的潛能，他也許不可避免的要面對這個問題。 Here in this workout, Noah did a solid, but not incredible job shooting the ball. We had him charted around 70% on well over 100 shots from 14-15 feet out, which is decent, but nothing to write home about considering that he was wide open shooting all by himself in a gym. What’s clear is that his mechanics—as ugly as they are—stay the same every time he shoots it, which is very important obviously. He also has good touch on it. This is something that is obviously very important for him considering how many shots we saw him take in the short amount of time we got to evaluate him. Even in these drills his competitive nature came out, as he got so into it that he kept insisting on taking more shots than the drills called for, when his plea for “just one more shot” turned into 10 or more sometimes. 在訓練營中Noah在投籃練習中的確繳出了不錯，卻不夠亮眼的成績。我們用圖表讓他看了他在14-15呎左右的投籃成績，超過100球有著70%的命中率，看起來還不賴，但是我們要知道那是他在無人防守之下的出手。很明顯的他的投籃姿勢醜到一種極限，這對球員來說很重要，他的手感也不錯，但是在短時間中，他用這種姿勢的出手命中率卻是我們評估的一個因素。即使是在比賽中，他拼盡全力的表現，特別是在大量出手這方面，他偶爾還是會墾求我們讓他多投個幾球。 In terms of his body, contrary to what we thought coming in here, it seems like he’s going to be just fine in both the short and long-term. His frame looks good and he’s clearly added more strength. A good friend of mine— David Thorpe of ESPN—likes to remind people that this year’s NBA Defensive Player of the Year award was given to a “skinny ass guy” by the name of Marcus Camby, which tells you something not only about the direction the NBA is heading in, but also about the risk involved in stereotyping what players in certain positions should look like according to the “prototype”. As Noah mentioned in the interview we conducted—and I fully agree with—it’s dangerous for a player like him to get “too heavy” and lose the biggest advantages he possesses in terms of his athleticism and running the floor. 我們考量到他的身材以後，覺得他的身體條件還是讓他可以在聯盟中生存下去，而且他好像越來越壯了。我的一個好朋友—ESPN的David Thorpe說，不要忘了這一季的NBA最佳防守球員給了一個有著“skinny ass guy”綽號的人， Marcus Camby。他讓我們理解到NBA的趨勢，也提醒了一個球員在大眾成見之下的限制可能是一種風險。 Noah在面談中提到，而我非常同意的一點就是，如果一個像他這樣的球員體重過重，那麼他很可能會失去全場跑動上的優勢。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.114.198.181 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.140.108
