終於輪到我們了！看看 RealGM 怎麼說吧！ (好累，有空再翻。) 30 Teams, 30 Days: Washington Draft Preview (16th) Authored by Jason M. Williams - 15th June, 2007 - 4:03 pm 2006-2007 Finish: 41-41 Draft Picks: 16th, 47th What they do well The Washington Wizards were one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference throughout the year until they suffered key injuries to their three-headed monster – Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler, and Gilbert Arenas. With Arenas and Butler unable to play in the first round of the playoffs, the Wizards were dead meat and swept in the first round by the eventual Eastern Conference Champion Cleveland Cavaliers. 三巨頭很強！沒受傷的時候球隊也很強；反之就變成渣。 Arenas has developed into one of the game’s elite scoring point guards. He was having a career year with 28.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1.88 steals per game before being sidelined for the final eight games of the regular season and the playoffs. He demonstrated his swagger under pressure by drilling two ridiculous buzzer-beating three-point bombs, including a 60-point clinic on the NBA’s biggest stage against the Lakers in Los Angeles. Agent Zero 今年大爆發，平均28.4分、4.6籃板、6助攻還帶1.88次搶斷，猛大帥！還有一堆 buzzer-beater，面對湖人的時候達到60分大關。 Whether he was scoring the basketball himself or dishing it off to the other two main sorcerers on the squad, fans could always count on him chanting “ Hibachi” after big games. The Arenas-patented slogan describes the sizzling scoring capabilities the trio is capable of displaying on any given night. 人猛搞怪就會紅。 Caron Butler was named to the All-Star team for the first time with 19.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 2.13 steals per game. He was flanked by fellow team leader Antawn Jamison, who also boasted 19.8 points, 8 rebounds, and 1.14 steals per game. Together, the threesome was arguably the most tremendous triad in the league. 三巨頭其他兩人，Butler 首度入選全星星賽，平均19.1分、7.4籃板、2.13次搶斷。隊長 Jamison 則有19.8分、8籃板、1.14搶斷的表現。 DeShawn Stevenson also had a solid season, starting all 82 games while providing steady defense and 11.2 points per game. Stevenson 表現得也不錯，還全勤呢！ Where do they need improvement? While the Wizards possess one of the most deadly and productive triumvirates in the league, they also possess a threesome that is an albatross that has been keeping them from erupting into an elite team for the past couple years. The frontcourt solution of Brendan Haywood, Etan Thomas, and Michael Ruffin has not only provided unspectacular post play, but also multiple fist fights and constant requests to be dealt. The Wizards need to deal the disgruntled Haywood away and use this pick to either stock their front court with the best available post player, or add depth to their guard position behind Arenas and Stevenson. 三巨頭之外，乏善可陳，尤其是貧瘠的前場。該送出 Haywood 並且用這個選秀順位挑一個大個兒。 Who should they target? - Jason Smith, PF/C – Colorado State: This Colorado State junior is a fundamentally sound big man who can run the floor with extreme fluidity. His back-to-the-basket post game is developing, and he possesses a go-to turnaround jumper which he can hit flawlessly. He has the tools to play any frontcourt position and is an above average passer out of a double team. His solid defensive skills are enhanced by his superior lateral quickness for his size, and he would provide the Wizards with a hard-working good-character player who would help them increase the team’s productivity in the paint. - Rudy Fernandez, SG – Spain: A very talented player from Spain who possesses one of the more athletic and smart games you’ll see from a shooting guard. He is able to take his man off the dribble, hit the three-point shot, and is dangerous when slashing to the basket. He plays the game very calm and under control to the point it looks like it’s too easy for him, which lulls opponents to sleep and frustrates them similar to the style of Manu Ginobili. The addition of Rudy Fernandez would make the Wizard lineup very difficult to match up with for teams who lack smaller athletic forwards. He’d also add another legitimate scoring threat from downtown that would allow Jamison to play more on the inside. However, he is very thin at 6-6 and 175 lbs, and would need to add some muscle to hang tough in the NBA. - Javaris Crittenton, PG – Georgia Tech: Crittenton has the physical gifts that could make him a steal in this Draft. His 6-5 size allows him to see over defenders at the point and make passes a smaller point guard is incapable of making. With the recent announcement that Gilbert Arenas is planning on opting out of his contract at the end of the season, it might not be a bad idea to draft this explosive point guard, who can learn from Gilbert and possibly replace him if he leaves Washington. If Arenas decides to stay, then he and Crittenton would be an extremely explosive backcourt duo who could grow together and both offer the ability to play both guard positions. While he lacks a solid three point shot, he will be able to use his passing skills to feed the wings when Arenas, Jamison and Stevenson. Picks since 2000 Washington has used its picks very questionably as of late, but two of their original draft picks are directly related to two-thirds of the Big Three. Devin Harris was primarily dealt to Dallas in exchange for Antawn Jamison, and Kwame Brown was dealt to Los Angeles for Caron Butler. Before last season, Jared Jeffries was a solid starter for the Wiz, and Jarvis Hayes contributes while healthy. So while it may not seem like their draft picks have had much impact on the current roster, it is evident that their selections have been used to formulate this perennial playoff squad. 選秀似乎有問題，但是也靠著這些選秀換回了三巨頭之二的 Jamison 和 Butler。 2006 Oleksiy Pecherov, 18th Vladimir Veremeenko, 48th 2005 Andray Blatche, 39th 2004 Devin Harris, 5th (traded to Dallas) Peter John Ramos, 33rd 2003 Jarvis Hayes, 10th Steve Blake, 38th 2002 Jared Jeffries, 11th Juan Dixon, 17th Rod Grizzard, 39th Juan Carlos Navarro, 40th 2001 Kwame Brown, 1st 2000 Mike Smith, 35th -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.217.235.244 ※ 編輯: ymcdc 來自: 61.217.235.244 (06/22 02:08)
