Peter said his entire family, his wife's family, and his best friend's whole family all packed into Granny's house in rural Arkansas hoping for good news. 2025 年 NBA 選秀的第二晚，Taelon Peter 的祖母家擠滿了人，希望這位前 Liberty 後衛能被選中。Peter 說，他的全家、太太的家人、還有摯友的整個家族，全都擠進了阿肯色州鄉下祖母的家裡，等待好消息。 That good news came when the Pacers selected Peter with the 54th overall pick. 當印第安那溜馬以第 54 順位選中 Peter，那份好消息終於來了。 "We were sitting in this small living room all on top of each other," Peter said. "So when my name got called, everybody jumped up and then we all went outside and jumped in the pool with all our clothes on." 「我們全都擠在一個小小的客廳裡，幾乎是疊在一起的，」Peter 說道，「所以當我的名字被叫到的時候，大家都跳了起來，接著全家人穿著衣服就一起衝去外面的泳池跳下去。」 Just a week later, Peter was in Indianapolis to start the pursuit of his NBA dreams. He is on the roster for Indiana's Summer League team, which opened camp this week and will head to Las Vegas next week. 短短一週後，Peter 就來到印第安納波里斯，開始追逐他的 NBA 夢想。他目前加入了印第安那溜馬的夏季聯盟名單，本週已開訓，下週將前往拉斯維加斯參賽。 Peter's path to the NBA is a unique one. He was a two-sport standout at Russellville High School, where he played basketball and competed in track-and-field, where he set a school record in the high jump as a junior, clearing 6 feet, 10 inches. Peter 的 NBA 之路相當獨特。他在 Russellville 高中時是雙棲運動好手，不僅打籃球，也參加田徑比賽，還在高三那年創下跳高校紀錄，一舉跳過 6 呎 10 吋。 He was on a basketball recruiting visit to Tennessee Tech his senior year when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, canceling his senior track season. That played a part in his decision to pursue basketball in college. 高四那年，他正在前往 Tennessee Tech 參加籃球招募行程，結果遇上 COVID-19 大流行，讓他的田徑賽季被取消，這也影響了他選擇在大學專注籃球的決定。 He enrolled at Tennessee Tech, but spent just one season there before transferring to Division II Arkansas Tech. He averaged 15 points per game over three years there and was named his conference's player of the year in his final season there before electing to transfer to Liberty for his senior season. 他進入 Tennessee Tech，但只打了一季就轉學到二級的 Arkansas Tech。他在那裡三年場均 15 分，最後一年更獲選為聯盟年度最佳球員，隨後再轉學到 Liberty 完成他的最後一年。 In his lone season at Liberty, Peter embraced a sixth man role, averaging 13.7 points and 4.0 rebounds per game while shooting 57.8 percent from the field and 45.3 percent from 3-point range. He was voted the Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year and a third-team all-conference selection, helping guide the Flames to an NCAA Tournament berth. 在 Liberty 的唯一一年裡，Peter 擔任第六人角色，場均 13.7 分、4.0 籃板，投籃命中率高達 57.8%、三分命中率 45.3%。他獲選為 Conference USA 的年度第六人與第三隊成員，協助球隊打進 NCAA 錦標賽。 Most impressively, Peter led the nation in true shooting percentage in 2024-25 (.7240). 更令人驚艷的是，Peter 在 2024–25 賽季的真實投籃命中率高居全美第一（72.4%）。 The 6-4 Peter played primarily on the wing in college and said he expects to be primarily a shooting guard at the professional level, though he is working on his ballhandling to be able to slide over to point guard if needed. 身高 6 呎 4 吋的 Peter 大學主要打側翼，他表示未來職業生涯會以得分後衛為主，但也正加強控球能力，以便在需要時能勝任控球後衛。 "First and foremost, I'm a winner," Peter said of his game. "I do whatever the team needs to win. But I'm an energy guy, I'm a sparkplug. I got comfortable last year with coming off the bench and coming in and making a spark on the game. I can make threes on the move, catch and shoot. 「首先，我是一個贏家，」Peter 談到自己的比賽風格時說道，「我會做任何能幫助球隊贏球的事。我是一個能量型球員，是場上的火花塞。我已經習慣從板凳出發，進場就要改變比賽節奏。我能在移動中投三分，也能接球就投。」 "And I'm a sneaky athlete. So if anybody wants to meet me there, I don't know what's liable to happen. But I can get up a little bit." 「而且我算是偷偷會跳的那種。如果有人想在禁區跟我對決，我也不知道會發生什麼事啦，但我跳得可不低喔。」 It's been a sudden transition to the NBA for Peter, but he's adapting well. He remarked on Friday how just two weeks ago he was watching the Pacers play in the NBA Finals and now he's a part of their roster, something that still hasn't fully sunk in. 這對 Peter 而言是一段突然的 NBA 旅程轉變，但他適應得不錯。他在週五感嘆，兩週前他還在看溜馬打 NBA 總冠軍賽，現在自己竟然已經成為球隊的一份子，這件事還沒完全讓他回過神來。 But on the court, he's made an early impression. 不過在球場上，他已經留下了初步的好印象。 "We knew he could shoot the ball really well," Pacers Summer League head coach Isaac Yacob said. "Just how he moves athletically, I think he's like a really underrated athlete. And as a person, he comes in willing to do whatever you ask. If you say come at 5:00 AM, he's going to be here at 5:00 AM. He wants to put the work in and really make it in this NBA, in this league." 溜馬夏季聯盟總教練 Isaac Yacob 表示：「我們早就知道他投籃很準。就他移動的方式來看，我覺得他其實是個被低估的運動員。他這個人也很好帶，叫他五點來，他就真的五點出現。他很想付出努力，在 NBA 這個聯盟站穩腳步。」 Peter said he felt blessed to join a team with a winning culture and looked forward to learning from the team's veterans. Indiana's Summer League roster includes two-way guard Quenton Jackson, who has three years of NBA experience, as well as Johnny Furphy, Enrique Freeman, and RayJ Dennis, all coming off their rookie season with the Blue & Gold. Peter 表示，他能加入一支有贏球文化的球隊感到非常幸運，並期待向隊上資深球員學習。溜馬的夏季聯盟陣容中，包括雙向合約後衛 Quenton Jackson（已有三年 NBA 經驗），以及 Johnny Furphy、Enrique Freeman 和 RayJ Dennis，這些都剛打完新秀球季的年輕球員。 "Play with that dog mentality, that's what everybody on this team does," Peter said. "That's why it's a blessing to be here with these young guys who all had to kind of get it out the mud and they all had to fight for everything they had. That's what I've been doing my whole life. So being able to be a part of this organization where I can learn from some of the guys that showed it on the highest level, it's something that I'm really looking forward to do." 「帶著那種拼命三郎的態度打球，這支球隊的每個人都是這樣，」Peter 說道，「能和這些年輕球員一起共事是一種福氣，他們每個人都曾經從谷底一路拼上來，一切都是自己爭取來的。我這輩子也是這樣過來的。現在能加入這支球隊，跟那些在最高層級證明過自己的球員學習，這正是我最期待的事。」 Peter has already showcased his talents in practice, with teammates and coaches praising his work ethic and shooting stroke. Peter 已經在訓練中展現了他的天賦，隊友與教練都稱讚他的勤奮態度與出色的投籃手感。 "He's one of those guys you just love to play with," said teammate Johnny Furphy. "He brings energy, he talks, he competes, and he doesn't take plays off. You can tell he's got that edge to him." 隊友 Johnny Furphy 表示：「他是那種你會很想跟他一起打球的球員。他很有能量、會溝通、很拼，而且每一球都不放棄。你可以感覺出來，他有一種競爭的銳氣。」 Peter’s athleticism has stood out in scrimmages, where he’s thrown down a few eye-catching dunks in transition. 在隊內練習賽中，Peter 的運動能力也十分搶眼，他在快攻中完成了幾次令人驚豔的爆扣。 "That’s the part people don’t really expect," Peter said with a smile. "But I like to surprise them." 「這是大家平常不太會預期的部分，」Peter 笑著說，「但我就是喜歡讓他們驚訝。」 As Summer League approaches, Peter is focused on continuing to prove himself, knowing that every opportunity counts. 隨著夏季聯盟開打在即，Peter 專注於繼續證明自己，他明白每一次上場都是機會。 "You don't take any of this for granted," he said. "I'm just going to keep being who I am and play the right way. I know that if I do that, things will fall into place." 「這一切我都不會視為理所當然，」他說道，「我會繼續做我自己，用正確的方式打球。我知道只要這樣做，好的事情就會發生。」 Pacers fans will get their first live look at Peter in action when Indiana opens Summer League play in Las Vegas next week. 溜馬球迷將能在下週夏季聯盟開打時，首次在拉斯維加斯現場看到 Peter 的表現。看起來是個被低估, 投籃準的彈跳體能仔? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 67.87.223.176 (美國) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/PACERS/M.1751696760.A.7C6.html
