There aren’t many players in the NBA Draft after the lottery who can contribute from Day 1. That’s not the case with wing Josh Okogie out of Georgia Tech, who the Wolves took with the 20th-overall pick. Okogie is a strong and physical wing who prides himself on defense, something that isn’t common for many young players. But Okogie isn’t your average 19-year-old. 有身體有防守，他不是一般的年輕人 He should be able to contribute from the get go, especially from the defensive end. At 6’4, 211 pounds, he has the size and strength to battle with NBA players right now. He’s incredibly strong and is in great shape with just 5.2 percent body fat. 防守上6呎4吋211磅的身材跟現今NBA球員硬幹也很難屈居下風，尤其5.2%的體脂訪率 This is a player who averaged 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals (2nd in ACC) in his sophomore year, two years after not even being a top-150 college recruit. This is a player who is still improving and to go from a not very highly recruited player to an All-ACC Third Team player certainly says something about his work ethic. And if there’s any coach who loves that work ethic, it’s Tom Thibodeau. With that work ethic, likely comes potential. 大學2年級成績18.2分 6.3籃板 1.8次抄截(為ACC第二高)，是個從未來不被看好(低於 2016年NCAA前150位頂級大學新人，排在NO.182)的一位球員努力用成績擠進All-ACC third team，這一切都憑藉著他良好的籃球態度與潛力，老席非常欣賞這樣的球員，況且還在努力的讓自己變得成更好的一位球員抄截排名 https://goo.gl/7n4s1H 新秀排名 https://goo.gl/c8o4pg All-ACC Team https://goo.gl/sdkNSr “The versatility and the fact that he plays both sides of the ball. He shot 38 (percent) from three,” Thibodeau told Timberwolves.com. “He has great length, a seven-foot wingspan and he’s done it at a high level, so we think there’s a big upside to him. Great worker, great kid. We’re looking forward to having him.” 又長又壯又有好的身形與對籃球上努力的態度，加上品行優良，老席：「擁有他將有光明的未來」 And while Okogie’s defense is certainly appealing, he can contribute plenty offensively. He shot 38.2 percent from deep in his two seasons combined at Georgia Tech and finished 10th in the ACC in 2017-18 with a 22.3 player efficiency rating. 除了那令人嚮往的防守外，在Georgia Tech進攻上這兩年有平均38.2%的外圍命中率，在ACC的player efficiency rating上22.3排在第10，第1是DUKE的Marvin Bagley “Just try to be able to be a two-way player, be able to score and be able to defend,” Okogie said on a conference call after the draft. “Be able to just be there for my team and whatever they need.” 仗著自己能攻擊也能防守的特性，Okogie如此表達自我感受：「無論球隊在球場那兒需要，我將盡力做到最好」 With Jimmy Butler and Andrew Wiggins also on the wing, the Wolves have a trio that has pretty high defensive potential heading into 2018-19. Before free agency, it looks like Okogie will have a pretty good opportunity to get minutes for the Wolves and of course, he’s not going to be the same player he was in college right away. But for me, the fact that he was able to come into college not on the radar, and two years later is the No. 20 pick, speaks to how much better Okogie is still going to get. This is a player who prides himself on improvement and hard work, something that will serve him incredibly well at the next level. 球隊有著Jimmy Butler與Andrew Wiggins再加上Okogie，這意味潛在恐怖防守正侵襲著明年球季的到來，你坐穩了嗎？說了這麼多他能做到甚麼能造成甚麼巨大影響，不過他還只是個新秀呀XD，但這樣一位從一開始未被任何球隊注意到的球員憑藉著自身努力在兩年後的今天在選秀會上在20順位被選中，相信成就與農藥將隨之而至..... -- ╔═══════════════╗ ║ ╤╗ ═─╮╒╮╮├╓╯╒╪╮║ ║ ╭╯╫═─ ║│╢╟╬╮╟ ╣║ ║ ╫╧ ═─╯╟╠╝╞ ╟╘┴╛║ ╚═══════════════╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 119.14.174.15 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1529694185.A.CCF.html
