[閒聊] 沒有 Turner 以後的籃下人選
https://8points9seconds.com/pacers-baffling-decision-before-free-agency-makes-lot-more-sense-now\
我把跟別隊簽約的都拿掉了
Still, here are some of their potential options.
溜馬目前仍有幾位中鋒補強選項可考慮。
1. Isaiah Jackson (已提出 QO)
Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (22) smiles at his teammates Wednesday,
Oct. 30, 2024, during a basketball game between the Indiana Pacers and the
Boston Celtics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Pacers defeated
the Celtics in overtime, 135-132.
Isaiah Jackson entered the season with the clear edge to be the backup center
after spending most of the two previous seasons in a constant battle with
Jalen Smith for playing time. Smith had declined his player option and signed
with the Bulls and even though the Pacers signed Wiseman as a free agent,
Jackson still had the edge for being in his fourth year in the franchise and
having good sense of how it operated. After a strong performance in the
2023-24 playoffs when he effectively wrestled away backup duties from Smith,
he entered 2024-25 with momentum.
And that changed when he tore his Achilles on Nov. 1 and never returned. In
five games before the injury, he averaged 7.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6
blocks per game — which would be career highs if stretched out for a season
— and shot 60.9% from the floor.
The Pacers kept Jackson on the roster for the rest of the season and he
enters the summer as a restricted free agent after reportedly receiving a
$6.4 million qualifying offer.
Before the injury in 2023-24, Jackson averaged 17.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and
2.8 blocks per 36 minutes off the bench, which were among the best per-36
figures on the team. He also made 66.5% of his field goals. Listed at 6-9,
205 pounds he didn't have a lot of muscle to him but did have a lot of bounce
and was one of the Pacers' most effective lob threats and shot blockers as
well as a high-energy floor runner and rebounder.
The injury might change him, however — possibly for both better and worse.
Maintaining the same leaping ability after such a dramatic injury to the legs
will be hard to do, but he also put on a noticeable amount of weight during
rehab. It's not fully evident how much of that is muscle and how much isn't,
but if he can turn it into muscle, it could make it harder to push him around
but also harder for him to reach the heights he usually does. He's an
intriguing possibility either way, but the Pacers can probably sign just one
of the injured players and will need to pair him with a safer bet.
Jackson 原本被視為明確的替補中鋒,尤其在季後賽搶下了 Jalen Smith 的輪替位置。
2024-25 開季他表現不俗,場均 7 分、5.6 籃板、1.6 阻攻,命中率高達 60.9%,可望
寫下生涯新高。不幸的是他在 11 月 1 日跟腱斷裂,整季報銷。溜馬仍將他保留在名單
中,並對他提出了 640 萬美元的資格報價(qualifying offer),使他成為受限自由球
員。受傷前他每 36 分鐘可貢獻 17.9 分、11.1 籃板、2.8 阻攻,是隊中效率最高的替
補之一。雖然復健期間體型明顯增加,若能成功轉為肌肉,仍可能成為有效戰力。但跳躍
力是否回歸仍有變數,若溜馬選擇 Jackson,可能就無法再簽其他傷後不明的中鋒。
2. Thomas Bryant (IU人目前還沒消息)
Indiana Pacers center Thomas Bryant (3) reacts after sinking a three point
basket Thursday, June 5, 2025, during Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the
Oklahoma City Thunder at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City.
Thomas Bryant was one of the centers the Pacers were most immediately
intrigued by when Jackson and Wiseman were injured, but they had to wait
until Dec. 15 to execute a trade because Bryant had signed a free agent deal
with Miami in the offseason. The Heat were barely playing him, so they were
happy to give him to the Pacers for nothing but a second-round draft pick
swap.
Bryant was thrilled for the opportunity to get back on the floor again and do
so so close to Indiana University where he played his college ball. His
gratitude showed in his play as Bryant did everything hard, even he wasn't
exactly where he was supposed to be. Bryant averaged 6.9 points and 3.9
rebounds per game — 16.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per 36 minutes — off the
bench and knocked down a career high 42 3-pointers at a 32.1% clip. He saw a
significant minutes cut in the playoffs but hit some huge shots in timely
moments, knocking down 9-of-18 3s (50%). He was also an easy locker room fit
in a group of selfless players and was always one of the most animated
players on the sideline, fully invested in his teammates' success.
Bryant, who turns 28 at the end of July, is an unrestricted free agent as the
deal he signed with the Heat was for just one year and just under $2.1
million. It probably won't take much to keep him in the fold and if they were
to keep him and Jackson they'd at least know what they were getting while
Jackson works his way back to 100% health.
Bryant 原本簽在熱火,但幾乎沒上場,在 Jackson 和 Wiseman 受傷後,溜馬以次輪選
秀權互換代價換來他。他回到靠近母校 IU 的地方重返球場,表現出強烈鬥志。替補場
均 6.9 分、3.9 籃板,每 36 分鐘 16.5 分、9.3 籃板,還投進生涯最多的 42 顆三分
球,命中率 32.1%。季後賽雖然時間壓縮,但命中率高達 50%,也展現出關鍵能力。目前
是非受限自由球員,預估不需太高代價即可留下,若與 Jackson 一起續留,可形成內外
互補。
3. Tony Bradley (已與溜馬執行第二年選項)
Indiana Pacers center Tony Bradley (13) looks for a pass option Thursday,
June 19, 2025, during Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in
Indianapolis.
The Pacers signed Bradley to a 10-day contract on March 2 and then another on
March 14 after they'd traded away Wiseman … Bradley appeared in just 14
regular season games down the stretch and averaged 8.1 minutes per game.
However, he came through when called upon, posting 12 points and nine
rebounds when the severely short-handed Pacers beat the Timberwolves in
Minnesota on March 17. He then posted a 14-point, 14-rebound double-double in
the stunning comeback win in Game 82 over the Cavs when the Pacers finished
the game with their third unit. He averaged 19.4 points and 13.4 rebounds per
36 minutes and shot 64.4% from the floor, albeit in a small sample size.
In the playoffs, Bradley barely saw the floor in the first two series, but
Carlisle trusted his 6-10, 248-pound frame to be able to block out New York's
Mitchell Robinson and Oklahoma City's Isaiah Hartenstein, so he got
significant minutes in both the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals and
made an impact on the glass in both.
The Pacers picked up the team option Bradley's contract for a second year for
$2.94 million.
Bradley 原本離開 NBA 一年多,靠著 10 天合約在季末回歸,並在對灰狼與騎士的比賽
中打出 12 分 9 籃板與 14 分 14 籃板的好表現。每 36 分鐘效率高達 19.4 分、13.4
籃板,命中率 64.4%。雖然樣本小,但表現值得信任。季後賽也在東區決賽與總決賽中出
場協防禁區,總教練 Carlisle 對他的體型非常信任。溜馬已執行他第二年的合約選項,
年薪為 294 萬美元。
4. James Wiseman
The Pacers signed Wiseman … The 7-foot, 240-pounder … In 12.8 minutes per
game, he averaged 8.5 points and 5.8 rebounds and he made 17 of-his-24 field
goal attempts (70.8%).
However, the Pacers would never find out what kind of season he was in for
because five minutes into the opening game against Detroit he tore his
Achilles tendon and never returned.
The Pacers traded Wiseman to the Raptors at the trade deadline and he was
swiftly waived so that gave him the opportunity to finish his rehab with the
Pacers … Carlisle noted in a radio interview last week Wiseman's agent told
him the rehab was going well and he recently executed a 360 dunk.
The Achilles tendon tear wasn't Wiseman's first major injury as he also
missed 18 months with a meniscus tear suffered when he was with the Warriors.
溜馬簽下 Wiseman 時,他在季前賽表現亮眼,場均 12.8 分鐘拿下 8.5 分、5.8 籃板,
投籃命中率高達 70.8%。但開幕戰開打不到 5 分鐘就遭遇跟腱斷裂,整季報銷。隨後被
交易到暴龍並立即被釋出,他選擇留在溜馬隊醫團隊中完成復健。Carlisle 日前在訪問
中透露,Wiseman 的經紀人表示他已能完成 360 灌籃,恢復狀況樂觀。但他過去也曾因
半月板受傷缺席一年半,累積傷病讓他成為高風險選項。
5. Jaxson Hayes
This is a bit of a reach but still worth mentioning … He shot 72.2% from the
floor this season including 83.8% of his shots within 3 feet. The 7-foot,
220-pounder has legit size and athleticism … He made just $2.46 million last
season …
Hayes 本季命中率高達 72.2%,其中 83.8% 投籃來自 3 呎內。身高 7 呎、體重 220 磅
,具備真實的身形與運動能力。雖然仍有球商與防守問題,但若湖人放棄續約,他將是高
性價比的 rim-runner 候選人之一。
6. Tristan Thompson
Still, at 34 Thompson still has some tread left on the tires and if he can do
nothing else he can still rebound. He shot just 43.7% from the floor and was
worst at the free throw line for the Cavs this season but he averaged 14.7
rebounds per 36 minutes. He also remains a great locker room presence and he
has a connection with Tyrese Haliburton going back to Sacramento …
Thompson 雖然已非主力中鋒,但仍可每 36 分鐘抓下 14.7 籃板。命中率僅 43.7%、罰
球更差,但他是穩定的更衣室老大哥,也與 Haliburton 在國王時期共事過。若球隊重視
經驗與化學效應,他可成為精神層面與板凳深度的補強人選。
7. Taj Gibson
That being said, the 16-year-veteran 6-9, 232-pounder is still a physical
force on the glass. … he averaged 10.6 rebounds per 36 minutes, the highest
of his career.
Gibson 雖已 40 歲,但每 36 分鐘仍能抓下 10.6 籃板,是生涯新高。他仍保有身體對
抗與禁區硬度,若球隊需要老將壓陣,他可用底薪短約支援輪替。
