Re: [外電] 國王難以忘懷Rubio

: Ailene Voisin: Kings can't forget about Rubio
: Buzz up!Published: Sunday, Sep. 6, 2009 - 12:00 am | Page 1C
: Spanish sensation and one-time Kings draft prospect Ricky Rubio recently
: spurned the Minnesota Timberwolves for reasons that are thought to include
: any or all of the following:
: He hates cold weather.
: He hates competition.
: He hated the thought of relinquishing millions in a contractual buyout,
: although the New York Knicks would have been tempting and, from the
: beginning, Sacramento was his desired location.
: So what this tells the Kings is that Rubio is confused, is still a kid, and
: they need to be aggressive and alert. You know. As proactive and persistent
: as wounded T-wolves president David Kahn, but with the backroom panache of
: the San Antonio Spurs.
: There's plenty of time to plot. Rubio can bolt Regal Barcelona in two years.
: Though Geoff Petrie drafted a potential franchise player in Tyreke Evans, the
: Memphis man-child who has NBA execs salivating over his immense talent, the
: Kings basketball president can surely share a dance with the mop-haired kid
: who can lead and, most importantly, who can pass.
: In two years the Kings will likely still need a point guard, and Rubio
: probably will still be lagging behind Minnesota rookie Jonny Flynn, still
: pressing the T-wolves for a trade.
: Meanwhile, here in Sacramento … can the mayor spare a few dimes?
: With Francisco García and the chronically injured Beno Udrih already ailing
: – a knee this month, a torn toenail the next? – the Kings could open
: training camp with a frightening collection of poor or uninterested passers.
: Projected starters Kevin Martin, Jason Thompson, Andres Nocioni and Spencer
: Hawes contributed more turnovers than assists a year ago, with Udrih's 4.7
: assists for every 2.16 turnovers almost John Stockton-esque by comparison.
: Into this scene steps Evans, who averaged 3.9 assists and 3.6 turnovers in
: his short, sweet season at Memphis. Before injuring his finger in July in the
: Las Vegas summer league, he was a physically bruising presence, defending and
: rebounding, and relentlessly attacking the basket. He penetrated and found
: teammates underneath, but seemed less comfortable facilitating an offense.
: A natural scorer, his eyes were on the prize – the rim. Point guards by
: comparison crawl out of the womb with a completely different vision. They see
: the entire floor, anticipate plays before they develop.
: "When Dennis Johnson came into the league with us (Seattle), he didn't handle
: the ball as well as Tyreke," said former NBA coach Paul Silas, asked about
: the frequent comparisons between Evans and his late former SuperSonics
: teammate. "But I think DJ's decision-making was better. Can you learn that?
: It's very tough once you're in the pros. The game moves so fast. I would
: venture to say Tyreke's more of a two (shooting) guard and, man, I haven't
: seen anybody get to the basket like he does."
: But back to the point, to the suspicion that Evans is a lead guard only in an
: emergency: The Kings should learn what Rubio eats, when he sleeps, what he
: reads. They should chart his every pass, his every tendency, his every
: desire. They should get to know the youngster so well that two years from
: now, if they haven't already acquired someone to deliver the ball to Evans,
: Martin and Hawes, they should invite Rubio for another visit, another look.
: "I want to be a really good point guard here in the best league in the world
: … ," Rubio told The Bee during the first of his two pre-draft visits last
: June, "so I have to find the team who wants me, who really wants me."
: Two years. Start counting.
: 如果兩年內Evans沒能長成下個Penny或PG版LBJ的稱號,我會認為這是派崔選秀又一失誤。
: 我承認我忘不了Rubio,如同三年前難以釋懷國王跳過Sergio。如果Sergio本季在國王發光
: 發熱,比Evans擔任PG時運作更順暢;那是否反而更加證明,當初選了Rubio球隊會更好?
應該是不能證明的。畢竟還要考慮到Sergio和Evans的狀況,更何況Rubio現階段並不是
Sergio加強版,不能這麼武斷。
