After working out for the New Jersey Nets on Monday, Derrick Favors planned
to head to Manhattan to begin preparing for the NBA draft. Come Friday
morning, he’s hoping to make the short trip back through the Lincoln Tunnel
to be formally introduced as the newest member of the Nets.
星期一費佛斯結束了於籃網的訓練後準備動身前往曼哈頓，為了即將來臨的NBA選秀。
With John Wall and Evan Turner expected to be the draft’s top two picks,
Favors is hoping to hear the Nets call his name at No. 3 on Thursday. NBA
sources said New Jersey is considering using its pick on Favors or Kentucky
center DeMarcus Cousins, both of whom worked out for the team on Monday.
在之前籃網考慮選他和 Cousins 兩人。
“To go to a new arena, play for a new coach, a new owner, it seems like a
good situation for me,” Favors said by phone. “I got to go in there and
prove to them that I’m their guy. I’m just got to give them all I got in
that hour workout, try to impress them and hope they pick me Thursday.”
Favors: 要去新的球館、為新的教練打球、新的老闆，這裡看起來是個好的地點。
我要去證明給他們，我就是他們想要的人。在訓練的一個小時中，我要讓他們
對我感到印象深刻。
This much is clear: The Nets need a power forward. Yi Jianlian(notes) hasn’t
developed into a consistent contributor, and the team already has one of the
top young centers in the league in Brook Lopez(notes). The Nets could use a
small forward like Syracuse’s Wesley Johnson, but they also have plenty of
salary-cap room to try to address that need in free agency.
因為籃網需要一個大前鋒，小易沒有成為一個穩定的貢獻者，
而球隊已經有一個年輕的中鋒了。他們可以選威斯力強森擔任小前鋒，
但他們還可以在FA 選他們所要的人。
Cousins is clearly the more skilled big man, but he has been dogged by
questions about his maturity and conditioning. Favors, a 6-foot-10, 246-pound
forward who played one season at Georgia Tech, is the more athletic player of
the two.
卡辛斯確實是最有技巧的常人，但是成熟度和身體狀況是被質疑的。
費佛斯，六呎十吋，246磅，是兩者間最有體能的人。
“Favors has tremendous brute strength for a college freshman,” one Eastern
Conference scout said. “He has the potential to be the next Antonio
McDyess(notes). Cousins may have the most basketball ability, skill-wise of
any big man in the draft. There are questions about his weight, dedication to
being great and coach-ability that make him a risky choice.
一名東區聯盟球探說："費佛斯對一個大學新鮮人而言有著極佳的暴力體能，
有潛力變成下一個 Antonio McDyess 。卡辛斯有最佳的籃球能力與技巧，
但體重、奉獻度、可教程度讓他成為一個風險。"
“Favors is definitely the safer pick.”
"費佛斯明顯是教安全的選擇。"
Favors has worked out against Cousins in Philadelphia and shared a workout
with him in Sacramento. In each Cousins distinguished himself as the more
fundamentally skilled player of the two. While NBA teams are enamored by
Favors’ athleticism, rebounding, and potential, he needs improve his
footwork, outside shot and post moves. But he also doesn’t turn 19 until
July 15.
在費城，費佛斯和卡辛斯有過訓練對抗，在國王隊也訓練過。
當大多數球隊垂涎於他的運度能力、籃板、潛能，他尚需要加強腳步、外線投籃、
還有禁區的單打動作。但他要到七月十五號才會滿十九歲。
“He’s the best athlete in this draft,” another Eastern Conference scout
said. “He has a lot of upside. He can rebound, defend and run the floor. His
offensive game is developing. But he’s a solid kid. I can see why he is
regarded so high.”
另外一個東區球探說："他是本屆選秀最好的體能者。
他有非常好潛能，可以抓籃板，防守，球場尚奔跑。
他的進攻還在發展中，但是他是一個穩健的孩子，
這也是為什麼他可以被大家認為是第三順位。"
Said a Western Conference scout: “His upside is ridiculous. Whoever gets him
is going to have a monster for years.”
另外一個西區球探也說："他的前景是非常誇張的，
得到他的球隊，將會有好幾年的怪物。"
Favors has worked out for the teams selecting second through fifth in the
draft. Minnesota Timberwolves president David Kahn told reporters that coach
Kurt Rambis said Favors “appeared to be out of shape” during his solo
workout. A source said Kahn later called Favor’s agent Wallace Prather to
apologize for the comment. The Sacramento Kings were impressed with Favors’
conditioning after he measured just 5 percent body fat and dunked the ball
20 times in 60 seconds during one drill without breaking a sweat.
灰狼隊總裁還說 Favors 好像已經身材走樣了！
國王隊很滿意 Favors 的體態，體脂肪只有5 % ，
而且在六十秒內灌籃二十次，並沒有流什麼汗。
“I just took it as constructive criticism,” Favors said of Kahn’s
comments. “I just pushed myself in other workouts to get in better shape.”
費佛斯說："我只是把那個評語當做建設性的批評，那我只會讓我自己
在其他的訓練中持續到更好的體態。"
An Atlanta native, Favors figures to be moving out of the South for the first
time in his life after the draft. He’s hopeful New Jersey is his next home.
“I was one of those guys growing up who watched the draft every time it came
on,” Favors said. “I used to dream about the day it will be my turn. I
really can’t wait.
費佛斯說 我從小都看選秀長大的，我總是想總有一天會輪到我。我等不及了。
“I’m looking forward to hearing my name called and shaking David Stern’s
hand. I’m nervous about that part the most.”
我期待名字被叫到，並和大衛史籐握手，我對此感到很緊張。
