Grading Carlos Delfino By Forrest Walker http://www.red94.net/grading-carlos-delfino/12639/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carlos Delfino joined the 2012-2013 Houston Rockets as the quintessential Morey acquisition. Daryl Morey, general manager and analytics hero, loves to find overlooked bargain, mis-estimated players, and market inequalities. Morey saw Delfino, appraised his worth, then signed him to team-friendly contract. How did that work out? Delfino was a useful player for the Rockets, was worth his contract, and is likely to be let go for the long-term good of the team. Just as expected. Carlos Delfino在12-13球季加入火箭隊，是一種典型的Morey式徵招。火箭隊總管Daryl Morey熱愛尋找"被忽略的特價商品"，"被低估的球員"和"市場的不平衡"。 Morey看見了Delfino並權衡過他的價值後，以對球隊有利的合約將他簽下。到底成效如何呢? Delfino是名對火箭隊有幫助的球員，並且符合他的身價(3M)，但火箭隊還是有機會因為球隊的長期利益考量，而將Delfino放走，就如我們預測的一樣。 [*註: 12-13 $3M ， 13-14 $3M (球隊選項)] We can start at the ending this season, with Carlos Delfino’s season coming to a close after a stunning dunk over Kevin Durant which aggravated Delfino’s already-injured foot. He was playing on a foot that he knew was injured, and then had to stop when it turned out to be broken. His entire season was marked by attempts to play beyond his capability for a team that just needed him to play within himself. It’s impressive that he was so full of determination and passion for the Rockets, but sometimes good enough really is good enough. 我們可以從本球季末，Carlos Delfino因在季後賽帶著原本就受傷的腳，面對Kevin Durant爆扣後，並宣告因傷本季報銷開始談起。他知道那時他自己是帶傷上陣的，並且也知道是因為這樣才球季報銷的。檢視他的整個球季，他嘗試為了球隊去作一些超越他原本能力所及的事情，即便球隊只需他打出自己的風格。而那非常令人印象深刻，他對火箭隊全心全力地投入並帶有滿腔熱血。但有時候，"剛剛好"就只是"剛剛好"而已。 Good enough is exactly what Delfino’s stats say: 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 turnovers and 1.4 steals per 36 minutes to go with 40.5% shooting from the field and 37.5% shooting from downtown. As a three point specialist, he launched nearly 70% of his attempts from behind the arc, which is exactly what the Rockets wanted to see. His 40.5% overall is poor, but 37.5% from deep is a solid mark for a marksman on his contract. He added a few peripherals, but nothing notable given his decent height (6’6”) and minutes played at the power forward position. He gave a solid performance for his pay grade. Delfino本季剛剛好的PER36數據: 15.1Pts + 4.7Rebs + 2.9Asts + 1.5Tos + 1.4Stls (FG% - 40.5% + 3PT% - 37.5% ) 身為一名三分射手，他有將近70%的出手來自三分線，這也正是火箭隊樂見的。雖然他的FG% - 40.5%是不良的，但是37.5%的3PT%相對他的射手合約來說是紮實的。他有時候需要扮演射手之外的次要角色: 大前鋒，即使他只有6'6"。但總體來說，他的表現不愧對於他的薪資。 That pay grade came at a very palatable $3 million per year for two years, with no money guaranteed on the second year. This contract allowed Houston to sign a veteran presence and decent contributor at cut-rate prices without even risking any cap space in the second year. His expiring contract could have proved useful trade fodder if a deal had presented itself, but as it is, he did the job he needed to in the time he was needed. With Dwight Howard rumors abounding, it should surprise no one if (and when) Houston announces that they won’t pick up his contract. The Rockets need cap space; that’s why they signed him to that contract. 以他的合約來說: 2年皆$3M，第2年還是無保證薪資。這對球隊來說是很愜意的。讓火箭隊得以對球隊有利的合約，簽下他這位有能力貢獻的傑出老將，並且免於在第二年球隊薪資空間的風險。而他這份快到期合約，在球隊需要交易時，也是非常好的籌碼。即使如此，他還是在球場上安分守己並作出貢獻。隨著Dwight Howard的交易謠言紛紛出籠，如果真的球隊選擇不執行13-14年的合約選項，這也是非常合理的。火箭隊無疑地需要薪資空間，這也是火箭隊跟他簽下這份合約的真正用意。 His contract, then, gives us a metric by which to look at Delfino. He gave a performance which looks solid, if not spectacular on paper. What does he look like in games, then? The single word answer is “inconsistent.” As with three pointers in general, he was prone to hot streaks and cold spells. His 7-9 shooting nights were a sight to behold, but his 2-9 nights balanced that out. He shot relentlessly, which can be a fault in a starter, but was the desired attitude in a bench shooter. The only real issues arose when he would try to create off the dribble or expand his usefulness. He was a capable passer and a passable rebounder, but as slasher or distributor he left something to be desired. He may only have turned it over 1.4 times per 36 minutes, but every turnover seemed to come with too many dribbles on his part. 他的合約給予我們一個公正客觀的角度去檢視他的表現。而他的表現是很紮實的，但是在數據上並不華麗，那他在場上的實際表現看起來如何呢? 如果只用一個形容詞，那就是 : "不穩定的" 他曾有在一場比賽投9中7的傑出表現，但也有過投9中2的表現將傑出的表現給平衡掉了。他的勇於出手，對於先發球員來說或許是個錯誤，但對於板凳球員來說是正確的。而真正的問題是，當他嘗試去運(盤)球時或作他能力範圍以外的事情時。他有傳球的能力也有還過得去的抓籃板能力，但如果作為一個用突破撕裂對方防守衝鋒者或者切入分球者，這方面能力是有待證明的。他或許用PER36的數據來看，只有1.4次的失誤，但大部分的失誤都來自於運球過多。 Delfino seemed to not only accept his role, but to want to do even more for the team. His veteran savvy and acceptable (if not exactly good) defense kept him on the floor. Even when Francisco Garcia came to compete for minutes, head coach Kevin McHale continued to believe in Delfino’s ability to play. He may not have always made the right choice, but he was never prone to panic or frustration. He played the game Houston wanted from him. With a quiet exit from the team likely, the only way Delfino could find himself in Rockets red next year would be a re-negotiated deal after Houston signs whoever they sign this summer. With Francisco Garcia occupying the same role but with slightly better stats and defense, Delfino’s chances of return can only shrink. Delfino似乎除了願意擔任球隊所賦予的角色，並且自己還希望作的更多。而他在防守端還算可以的能力以及老將經驗，讓他留在場上作戰。即使有時候，當Francisco Garcia的表現有能力將上場時間獨自消化，但總教練Kevin McHale還是選擇繼續相信Delfino，並將他送去球場上。或許他不會總是做出正確的決定，但他在場上從不會顯現慌張或者挫折。並且他用球隊想要的方式去打球。如果下季他還想待在球隊裡，看似唯一的出路是，等火箭隊在今夏補強完畢後，再與球隊重新談判。看看另一名角色功能相似，但在攻守數據更突出一點的Francisco Garcia，這讓Delfino回歸球隊的機率又更顯渺小。 In total, Delfino was good enough. He was worth the money, and played his role. He didn’t excel in anything, but he wasn’t expected to. He had some good games and some bad games. He sometimes tried to do too much, and that’s better than doing too little. He contributed to a good team, but not well enough to stop another player from taking over that role. It was good that he didn’t disappoint, but that’s not a good grade. That’s just a good enough grade. 總結: Delfino本季表現剛剛好，並且符合他的合約和角色。他並沒有在某方面有太傑出的表現，這也和他原先被預期的相同。他有一些好的，也有一些不怎麼好的比賽。而他有時候會嘗試太多事情，這方面最好能免則免。他對球隊的貢獻良好，但還不足以成為，避免被其他球員代替的角色。所以對他的評分不低也不高，就是是剛剛好，真的就是剛剛好的評分。 Grade: C 延伸閱讀: Player Report Cards: Carlos Delfino C- http://0rz.tw/GXspC -- ★Thanks for the ride, Houston Rockets 12-13★ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.20.239.247
