Georgia Tech phenom Young impresses in workout with Hornets Thaddeus Young在黃蜂訓練營表現出色 From:http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2007/news/story?id=2898178 Watching tapes of NBA draft prospect Thaddeus Young, New Orleans Hornets coach Byron Scott didn't see much that caught his eye about the Georgia Tech forward's play. 看了今年將投入NBA選秀的T.Young大學時代的相關影帶，他的表現並未吸引Scott太多的目光。 In person, Young was able to sway Scott's opinion. 在親自見識到他的身手後，Young的表現將顛覆Scott原先的想法。 "I saw a bunch of tape on him this summer and watching the tape I wasn't impressed," Scott said Friday after watching Young and three other prospects work out. "But watching him out here in the individual workouts and the 2-on-2 and the 1-on-1 and things like that, he did a lot of things that I didn't see on the tape." 「我看了一大堆先前有關他的影片，但他的表現並未讓我驚豔。」Scott在星期五看過 Young和其他三位選秀的測試後說，「但看了他在這的表現，包括1對1和2對2的比賽等等ꄊ ，他做了許多我在影片中沒看到的事。」 Scott said he had been disappointed that the three or four tapes he watched of Young didn't show the 6-foot-8 small forward's shooting ability and that the post-up moves primarily had him going up against smaller players. That left the coach without a positive opinion of Young, who's been projected as a possible selection for the Hornets at the 13th overall pick in the June 28 draft. Scott說他感到失望，因為他在影片中沒看到這名6呎8吋的小前鋒展現他的投籃能力和低位步伐來對抗其他小前鋒，這使得教練對這位極有可能在6月28日選秀會上被黃蜂以13順位選走的球員並未留下正面的評價， Scott has said the team is looking for a shooting guard or small forward to plug into the wing position opposite Peja Stojakovic in a starting lineup that features point guard Chris Paul, power forward David West and center Tyson Chandler. Scott說球隊正在物色一個得分後衛或小前鋒，能與Peja在球場上互相搭配，同時與控衛 Paul，大前鋒West和中鋒Chandler相輔相成。 Desmond Mason, who started at small forward last season, and Devin Brown, who moved into the shooting guard spot after Stojakovic was injured, are both free agents. Mason，上一季擔任先發小前鋒，而在Stojakovic受傷後頂上得分後衛之缺的Devin Brown ，兩人都將成為自由球員。 Scott isn't sure whether Young, who'll turn 19 this month, would be ready to make an immediate impact. Scott並不確定Young，即將在本月才滿19歲的他，是否準備好迎接這個即將而來的衝擊。 "The one thing that I do like about him and that I saw out there on the court is that he's a very fast learner. He has a great basketball IQ and has a good feel for the game," Scott said. "Can he accelerate the process as far as the learning curve is concerned? Probably so. It would probably just be a matter of time." 我喜歡他的原因在於，在球場上他學的很快，他擁有很高的籃球智商和對球賽的感覺，他能否盡他所能的加快他的學習過程？答案呼之欲出，可能只是時間上的問題。 After being chosen as a McDonald's All-American out of high school, Young averaged 14.4 points and 4.9 rebounds as a freshman last season for the Yellow Jackets. He shot 48 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range. After averaging three 3-point attempts per game last season, Young said he's been working to develop his stroke from the NBA's 3-point range. 在獲選為全美麥當勞高中明星賽MVP後，Young在他的大一時期繳出14.4分，4.9個籃板的成績，外加48%的FG命中率和42%的三分球命中率，上一季他每場三分球平均出手三次， Young說他正在努力適應NBA的三分線距離。 "Obviously, I didn't shoot the ball very much in school, but I'm looking to show that right now that I can shoot the ball like the other guys," Young said. 「事實上，在學校我並不常有機會投籃，但我將在這證明我可以像其他人一樣辦的到。」 Young說。 Young said he still hasn't signed with an agent, leaving open the possibility he could return to school. Young說他還沒和經紀人簽約，留下可能重返學校的伏筆。 "If things hit the wall, it's a win-win situation. I could go back to school or I could stay in the draft. Either way it's good," Young said. "Right now, I'm just looking for some great information and a lot of great feedback. If I keep getting a lot of great feedback hopefully, I'll stay in." 如果事情繼續發展下去，這將是個雙贏的局面。我可以回學校或是留在選秀，哪個都好。現在我正在蒐集更多更好的資訊，如果情況理想，我將會留下。 Young said there were factors he'd have to weigh before making his final decision, but said, "Who wouldn't stay in [the draft] if they were a lottery pick?" Young說有幾個因素將會左右他最後的決定，但他又說：「如果你是在樂透區，誰不會留下阿？」 "Right now I think I should be a potential lottery pick, just me going out there working hard. Obviously there's a lot of other guys out there that's been working hard too, but some guys don't have what I have," Young said. "Not putting them down or anything, but just like I said, they work hard like I do. " 現在而言我想我應該蠻有可能在樂透區的，使我更加勤奮努力，很明顯的，在這有許多人也同樣相當努力，但我擁有這些傢伙所沒有的東西，我並非是貶低他們，就如同我說的，他們真的跟我一樣努力。 Hornets general manager Jeff Bower said he thought Young would eventually " have a game that's effective both on the block and outside facing the basket" and that he had the quickness and balance to be a strong defender. 黃蜂總管Bower說他認為Young最終將成為一個能裡能外的進攻好手，而他所擁有的速度跟平衡感將幫助他成為一個強力的防守者。 "The thing that was great is his personality and his makeup. Those are things that are going to make up for his inexperience," Bower said. "He's an extremely bright young man with a plan in place in his mind for improvement, and it includes a lot of hard work and it includes a lot of studying players that are currently in the league. 他所展現出來的性格跟氣質相當的棒，這將彌補他經驗上的不足。他是個極為傑出的小夥子，而他會不斷的進步，進步的背後將是持之以恆的努力，就像現今聯盟裡那些佼佼者一樣。 "I was impressed in speaking with him about the seriousness of his approach to this and his quest to learn more." 跟他聊過後，我對他那嚴肅的態度跟學習的渴望感到印象深刻。 Young was born in New Orleans and said he has many relatives who had to leave the city because of Hurricane Katrina but returned "because of their love for the city." Young出生於紐奧良，而他說他有許多親戚住在這城市，因卡崔娜颶風的侵襲而搬離，但爾後又回到了故鄉，因為他們熱愛這個城市。 Guards Marcus Williams from Arizona, Ron Lewis from Ohio State and Zabian Dowdell from Virginia Tech also worked out in the session. 亞歷桑納大後衛Marcus Williams、俄亥俄州大的Ron Lewis和維吉尼亞理工的Zabia Dowdell也同時受邀來參加這次的測試。 -- █ █ New Orleans / Oklahoma City █ █ I Believe In The Hornets ◥████ I Believe In Chris Paul █ █ I Believe In David West █ █ornets I Believe In........Me -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.203.11
