This might become a moot point as talk on Waiters increasingly puts him in the top 10 of Thursday’s draft. Whether the term “promise,” “soft promise” or “ Facebook like” was used for Waiters, the Suns definitely expressed their strong interest in Waiters. Too many people inside the league are telling a similar story and citing a close enough tie to make it sound legitimate. It would be silly for the Suns to give Waiters a straight promise. At No. 13, there is no telling who could unexpectedly slip and change their minds. Cleveland was known to give Daniel Gibson a promise when Suns General Manager Lance Blanks was there but it was for a second-round pick. Waiters is an ideal fit for the Suns’ need and system as a potential prototype NBA shooting guard. He is 6 feet 4 and 221 pounds with athleticism, speed, strength and toughness. He is relentless in attacking the basket, good in the pick-and-roll and can finish in transition. As with any Syracuse player, his man defense will be questioned until he shows it more. 鳳凰城太陽有向雪城大學得分後衛 Dion Waiters保證在13順位選他嗎? 這將成為 Waiters 漸漸進入Top 10選秀順位的因子之一. 不管是"一定凍蒜"、"口頭承諾"或只是" 按一個讚", 太陽對於Waiters都有相當興趣. 許多聯盟內的鄉民將這件事都傳得跟真的一樣, 但如果太陽隊真的對Waiters做出那樣的承諾絕對是愚蠢的, 誰都不能料到在13順位會撿到什麼掉下來的寶. 當太陽隊GM Lance Blanks還在騎士隊的時候曾經向 Daniel Gibson作過選秀承諾, 不過那僅僅是第二輪簽而已. 話雖如此, Waiters符合太陽隊目前的需要, 是位有天分的即戰力得分後衛. 六呎四吋高 , 221磅重, 體能勁爆, 有速度夠硬又夠壯. 對於攻擊籃框有強烈慾望, 也有足夠能力完成pick-and-roll. 身為雪城大學的一員, 個人防守效果被放大, 需要更進一步觀察他的防守表現. *Much of the Suns’ draft focus has rightly been placed on shooting guards, a place of need for the Suns and depth in the draft. They have long liked Connecticut’s Jeremy Lamb and he rewarded that interest with a visit for a workout Saturday after cancelling earlier because of an ankle injury. He was still hobbled for Saturday’s workout but managed to make a good impression nevertheless. Lamb’s draft stock has taken a hit over the past month but he remains a high-potential player because of his shot, athleticism and 6-foot-5 height (but not his size at 179 pounds). 大部分對於太陽隊選秀的焦點都放在極需要補強的得分後衛上. 因腳踝受傷取消第一次練習邀請的康大"劉備"Jeremy Lamb, 在上週六的練習中也引起了太陽隊的興趣, 雖然練習中還是有點掰咖, 仍留下良好的印象. Jeremy Lamb的選秀順位在這個月略為下滑, 但他的投籃, 運動力以及六呎五吋的身高仍讓他被認為是極具潛力的球員. (當然不包括他那 179磅體重...) * The players the Suns brought into Phoenix for a second look this weekend were North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall and Mississippi State power forward Arnett Moultrie. Marshall gets a second look because it is clear that Weber State’s Damian Lillard will not be around at No. 13 for Phoenix. Marshall is widely accepted as the second best point guard and a vastly different one with the style of a floor general who sees the court and passes extremely well but does not have Lillard’s shot or athleticism. Whether Nash stays or not, Marshall is a consideration. He expressed in Toronto a willingness to learn behind a veteran for a year. Point guard or center is considered the most difficult position to nail on a roster and few think there has been as strong of a passing playmaker as Marshall in a while. He would have been ideal for past Suns teams with loads of scoring weapons at his disposal but, as Suns Director of Player Personnel John Treloar said, he makes other players better and will get better. 在上個週末, 有兩位球員被邀請回到鳳凰城作第二次面試, 北卡大的控球後衛 Kendall Marshal 以及密西西比州大的大前鋒 Arnett Moultrie. Marshall獲得第二次面試邀請是因為韋伯州大Damian Lillard 並不會掉到13順位. Marshall 被公認為是今年選秀的第二控衛, 是有著良好的傳球視野及技巧的地板型控衛 , 但沒有Lillard的得分能力和體能. 不管Nash今年夏天是否留在鳳凰城, Marshall都是個不錯的選擇, 他在多倫多曾表示樂意在老將身後學習一年. 一般來說, 好的控衛或中鋒一直是名單中最難以取得的人才, 尤其是像Marshall照樣傳球第一的球員, 他可以成為是太陽隊其他進攻武器中理想的指揮者, 就如太陽隊人事部門主管John Treloar說的, 他在球場上會讓其他球員發光發熱! Moultrie is the most intriguing case heading into draft week. The Suns had him work out against four other first-round big men the first time and brought him back on Sunday for a workout more geared to see his perimeter game. Moultrie can shoot well and projects to extend his range to the NBA 3-pointer but his big draws are a 6-11 frame, a 7-2 wingspan, a rebounding knack, athleticism and a mean streak. There were concerns when he transferred from Texas-El Paso to Mississippi State but some wonder how high of a pick he would be if he had not been in two lesser-known programs. The Suns have spent time visiting his family in Memphis, something they did for the group they honed in on last year in the draft. For Moultrie, this would be a dream leap after he was a player widely targeted for the 20s earlier in the draft. He has been a motivated candidate, traveling from a workout Saturday in Philadelphia to Phoenix for Sunday’s workout and then continuing to Sacramento for his fifth workout in a week. He also would give the Suns an overload of power forwards with Channing Frye, Markieff Morris and Hakim Warrick already under contract. St. Bonaventure's Andrew Nicholson, another big man initially pegged in the 20s, also has captured the Suns' interest. Moultrie將會是選秀週最有趣的子. 太陽隊安排他在面試中面對其他四個第一輪的大個子 , 然後在上週日安排另一場練習去觀察他在油漆區外圍的表現. Moultrie有良好投射能力甚至可達三分線外, 卻有著六呎十一吋身高及七呎二的翼展, 有籃板能力、良好體能以及容易激動的壞脾氣. 人們曾經對於他從UTEP轉到Mississippi State時有顧慮, 但若沒在兩個鮮為人知的系統下打球, 現在預估被挑選的順位不會那麼高(這句翻得怪怪的). 太陽隊也已經拜訪過他在Memphis的家庭. 對 Moultrie來說, 一般預估會在20順位前被選中, 他在一週內已經陸續為太陽、七六人、國王面試. 當然, 選他也會讓太陽的前鋒超載, 福來, Morris哥, 瓦力都還有合約. 同時, 另一個長人St. Bonaventure的大前鋒 Andrew Nicholson也在太陽隊的雷達中. The Suns have sent some signals out that they may be interested in acquiring a second first-round pick behind their No. 13 slot. 另外傳出太陽可能也有意思在選秀中拿下13順位後的另一個首輪簽. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 小弟第一次翻譯外電有點卡卡的,請見諒. 這篇只先翻選秀相關, 後面還有關於自由球員的部分 , 請各位大大有興趣可以參考外電原文. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.249.129.239
