Grading Chandler Parsons By Forrest Walker http://0rz.tw/5myfO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chandler Parsons wasn’t Houston’s flashiest player, or Houston’s best player, or even Houston’s most famous player. Parsons wasn’t the primary scorer, or the defensive anchor, or the team’s distributor. Despite all that, Chandler Parsons was something even more important. Chandler Parsons, despite being only a sophomore in the NBA, managed to become the soul of the brand new Houston Rockets. Chandler Parsons並不是火箭隊最亮眼或者最出名的球員。 Chandler Parsons並不是火箭隊最主要得分點或者防守砥柱，甚至也不是主要的傳輸者。但，Chandler Parsons有比這些東西都更重要的特質。 Chandler Parsons不僅僅是NBA的二年級生，更掌握著嶄新火箭隊的靈魂。 Before bringing up numbers, before rattling off individual plays and rotations, before any of that is what Chandler Parsons means for the Rockets. He’s the only link between the “New Age” Rockets and the team that preceded them (with the exception of Greg Smith, who played only 69 minutes last year). Chandler Parsons arrived at the same time as head coach Kevin McHale, and neither could have succeeded without the other. 先把個人數據和個人表現放一邊，把所有Chandler Parsons對於火箭隊的意義都先放一邊。他是唯一一個能夠與火箭隊的新代名詞 "新時代" 有連結的球員。 (Greg Smith去年只出賽了69分鐘，所以算例外。) Chandler Parson加入火箭隊時，恰巧與總教練Kevin McHale的加入幾乎同時期。而他們剛好都需要彼此的幫助，才得以成功。 McHale saw a defensive game-changer in the second round pick out of Florida, dethroning Chase Budinger from his starting position and giving Parsons a chance to shine. The Rockets may have missed the playoffs last season, but Chandler returned the favor to McHale this year in an unexpected and impressive playoff push. Rather than slide into a sophomore slump, Parsons elevated his game and improved his shot, becoming so much more than a decent player on a tiny contract. McHale看見了這名來自佛羅里達，具有能夠改變比賽能力的防守型球員。並將Chase Budinger從先發名單上移除，讓Parsons得以獲得發光發熱的機會。上個球季，火箭隊也許失去了進季後賽的機會，但Chandler本季用超乎預期的驚人表現，來回報McHale的恩惠，並幫助球隊進入季後賽。 Parsons不但沒有陷入二年級生的撞牆期，反而更加進步和改善投射能力。他變成了一位非常好的球員，尤其在他的迷你型合約比較之下。 Chandler Parsons first became famous for his defense, earning praise from pundits and players alike. After his excellent work on Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant last year, Chandler’s name recognition rose with rare praise from Kobe himself. But this year? Chandler Parsons took on the identity of McHale and Morey’s team, running and gunning all the way to the playoffs. Once he got there, he capped off a season of improvement with an amazing line against the Oklahoma City Thunder in game 4 of the first round: 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists. He made it to the next stage. Chandler Parsons一開始是以他的防守能力獲得注意，贏得了專家與其他球員的讚美。至從他去年對於Kevin Durant和Kobe Bryant傑出的防守。而他的辨識度因獲得Kobe本人的讚美而升高。那今年呢? Chandler Parsons呈現了McHale和Morey想要球隊的樣子: 以跑轟殺入季後賽。當進入季後賽時，他在面對雷霆隊第一輪第四場的比賽中，用表現將本季所有的進步給展示出來: 27Pts + 10Rebs + 8Asts。他已經把自己提升到另一個層次了。 We know he’s not merely the decent role player he was predicted to be. And we know he’s grown to that next stage. We just aren’t sure what that is. He looks like a future all-star to the hopeful eye, but a more cynical take pegs him as the beneficiary of Harden’s skill. It’s not even clear where he fits in the echelons of Rockets players; is he better than Lin or Ak? How important is he to Houston’s future? All we know is how important he is to Houston’s present. And it’s a lot. 我們都知道他並不僅僅是一個，如曾被大家預測的，只是一個優秀的角色球員而已。而我們現在知道他已經成長到另一個層次了。只是我們還不確定這個方向是往哪邊走。他對於較樂觀的人來說，他有成為未來全明星球員的潛力。但對於較悲觀的人來說，他只是受到Harden能力下的庇蔭。目前還無法真正判斷他是否真的適合火箭隊的陣型; 他有比Lin或者Ak優秀嗎? 而他對於火箭隊未來的重要性? 目前我們所能知道的，僅是他對現在的火箭隊的重要性。而，他現在是十分重要的。 The Rockets gained fame for their belief in Shane Battier, famously described as a “No-Stats All-Star. In Chandler Parsons, Houston has found another defensive small forward, another “glue guy” who’s known for his positive influence on locker rooms and win totals. The difference here is that Chandler Parsons has stats, too. He averaged 15.5 points per game on 12.4 shots, 48.6% shooting from the field, 38.5% from deep, 73% from the line, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 turnovers a game. So we know he’s not just a defender. He’s a starting caliber forward. 火箭隊因為全心信任Shane Battier，這名非數據型的全明星球員而出名。 (*註: The No-Stats All-Star http://0rz.tw/bk9Tk ) 在Chandler Parsons身上，火箭隊又找到另一名可以用如膠似漆來形容的防守型小前鋒，並且被公認是在休息室有正面影響力及引導球隊獲得勝利的人。而以上兩者之間唯一的差別是 :　要看數據，Chandler Parsons也是有的。本季場均： 12.4次出手，獲得15.5Pts，FG% .486，3PT% .385，FT% .73，5.3Rebs，3.3Asts，1.9Tos 因此，他不僅僅是一個防守型球員，而是一名有先發水準的前鋒球員。 The good here is that he improved his shooting and distributing from last year. He was shooting a lackluster 33% from three last year, and he came back with an improved shot that made him a legitimate threat from the arc. He’s an improved ball handler, and he’s shown flashes of creating and distributing. He’s bought into the run and gun system, happily leading fast breaks and not settling for low efficiency looks. It wasn’t clear in November how much of an offensive game Parsons would have. It’s clear now that he can score. 他本季已比上季在投射與傳導能力上更進步許多。上季的他只有3PT% 0.33的平庸投射能力，而本季帶著進步的投射能力，變成一位真正在外圍有威脅性的射手。他也改善了他的運球能力，他的創造機會和傳導能力鋒芒乍現。他非常融入跑轟系統，也很樂於帶領快攻，且不甘於低效率機會。在去年11月時，我們並不知道Parsons能在多少場比賽中展現進攻能力。但，現在我們可以確定他是有得分能力。 The bad comes in two flavors. First is a bland taste of stagnant numbers in his peripherals, with rebounds, steals, blocks and turnovers per 36 minutes staying the same or dropping slightly. His non-scoring stats are integral to Houston’s team, and while it’s good that he’s kept their efficiency up while playing more minutes, that’s far behind the improvement he showed in his offensive stats. Secondly is the relative souring of his acclaimed defense. As the team defense gambled more often and paid the price, so did Parsons follow the pack, allowing trips to the rim and open threes more often. 他有兩個缺點: 首先是他的綜合數據表現，包含籃板，抄截，火鍋和失誤...等，每36分鐘來看，不是比去年下滑就是持平。而除了他的得分以外的數據，對於火箭隊的完整性也是一樣重要的。雖然他在上場時間增加後，仍然能在這些數據上保持差不多的效率。但這方面比他在進攻端的成長來得更微不足道。其次，他原本受人稱讚的防守能力也退步了。當這支球隊變得更時常在防守端上賭博，並且付出代價，而Parsons並沒有出淤泥而不染，也更常讓對手輕鬆上籃或者外線空檔出手得分。 Parsons and the Rockets are interlinked in their defensive woes, with a new roster and a new offensive look confusing and disrupting what was already a mediocre defense at best. The silver lining there is that Parsons has shown to be a very capable individual defender, and willing to learn whatever system comes his way. The Rockets may need some more parts to shore up their defenses, but Parsons won’t be dragging the team down. 現在的Parsons和火箭隊已經被他們不堪的防守連結在一起，因為本季全新的陣容及全新的進攻策略，讓防守端看似迷惑且分裂，而這個在聯盟中防守排名在中間的能力，了不起只能算是平庸的防守。而Parsons的單防能力，讓這片烏雲間有了一線曙光，並且樂於用自己的方法去接受與學習任何戰術系統。火箭隊或許仍需要增強其他部分，來鞏固他們的防守端。但Parsons將不會是扯後腿的那一個。 Among the question marks for Chandler and his game is whether or not he can consistently play at the power forward position. The Rockets have had great success going small generally, and playing Parsons at the 4 specifically. This is a question that will likely grow in import this summer as Houston tries to parley cap space into skilled players. It’s entirely possible that the Rockets might pick up a high level talent at the 1-3 spots, meaning that Parsons at the power forward could become not just a useful option, but a long-term solution. He’s got a big body for his position, but can he become a post defender? Can he learn post offense? Chandler究竟能不能扛起大前鋒這個位置，至今仍是個謎。火箭隊時常使用小陣容，也很成功，因此Parsons要特別被擺到4號位。這個問題或許會在今夏，火箭隊把薪資空間用來追求明星球員時變得更重要。火箭隊有很大的可能將1~3號位的能力發展到更高的層次，這也意味著Parsons打四號可能不再只是個選項,，而是長期的解答。他擁有在3號位來說算較高大的體型，但他受否能夠變成一個在低位有防守與進攻能力的球員呢? Questions about whether or not there will be questions are abstract in the extreme, but all of this matters when evaluating a player like Chandler Parsons. Not because we know what he will be, but because we have reason to believe he could be so many things. How, then, do we grade him? Do we look at his current play, or his future potential? More to the point, do we simply grade his quality as a player, or does he warrant a curve? He isn’t the best player on the team, but he blew his expectations out of the water. 想像一些可能會發生又有可能不會發生的問題，實在是非常抽象的。但當用來檢視像Chandler Parsons這樣的球員時，卻又變得很重要。我們不僅僅只了解到他會成長成什麼樣子，並且我們有理由相信就會如此。那我們到底要用他的現狀或者未來的潛力去給他評分呢? 更重要的是，我們是否能單純地用一個球員的能力去評分，或者斷定他是否能如預期般成長呢? 他或許並不是這個球隊最好的球員，但他讓大家有非常高的期望。 Unlike James Harden, who has earned his place in the cold light of superstardom, Parsons makes no sense in a vacuum. He plays within the context of his team, shooting, assisting, rebounding and defending as the Rockets require. He puts back misses, spots up for threes and drives when there’s a gap. He moves without the ball and works to wriggle into the gaps. We don’t know if he could be a star one day, but he isn’t today. In terms of his team contribution, ability at his role and meeting expectations, the decision is clear. He’s invaluable to the Rockets as a team and as a franchise, and that deserves a gold star. He might get a B- in the league. But for Houston? 總結: 與James Harden不同，因Harden是以超級明星的水平當標準來建立他的地位。這點對於Parsons來說沒有意義。 Parsons的各項表現，不論在於得分，助攻，籃板與防守都是依球隊所需而作的。他能夠補籃，三分定點投射和切入對方防守間的縫隙。他能夠無球跑動，並且致力於設法鑽進對方的防守漏洞中。我們不知道他是否有一天能夠變成一個明星，但至少他現在還不是。根據他對於團隊的貢獻，他扮演好自身角色的能力，讓我們能夠清楚地期待他的未來。目前的他對於整體火箭隊或者球團都是無價之寶，甚至值得頒一個金星獎給他。他或許在聯盟之中是個B-的球員，但，對於火箭隊而言呢?
