Roll dice on banished BC big man 擲個骰子在BC的大個子上。 BY JULIAN GARCIA DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Friday, June 29th 2007, 4:00 AM When it came down to it for Rod Thorn, the risk of picking Sean Williams was worth the potential reward. 當機會掉到Rod THorn 手上時，他把Sean Williams挑起來的勇氣是有很大的潛力來獎勵的。 That's the reason the Nets' president looked past Williams' troubled past and made the 6-10 Boston College center/forward the 17th pick in last night's NBA draft - the Nets' only selection of the evening. 這就是籃網的總裁不在乎 Williams 過去所發生的狀況與問題決定把這位來自波士頓大學的6-10 中前鋒以第十七順位把他選進來，在最後的選擇當中他是籃網唯一的抉擇。 Williams was kicked off the team at Boston College last season for using marijuana, but not before blocking 75shots in just 15 games. That's the kind of interior presence the Nets have not had in the middle since Kenyon Martin was in New Jersey. Williams 因為上一個球季使用了大麻被波士頓大學給踢出球隊，不過這不是在他的15場比賽內敲出75個火鍋之前。這就是自從Kenyon Martin離開之後籃網所缺乏的禁區勢力。 It's the reason Williams was so hard to pass up. 這就是Williams 很難被略過的理由。 "Our feeling was the potential was worth the risk, so to speak," said Thorn, who last year used the 22ndpick to draft Marcus Williams, who was arrested while at UConn and charged with possession of stolen laptop computers. "Our feeling is that had these issues not been there, this kid would have been way up there in the lottery." Rod Thorn說：”我們的感覺是他的潛力是值得這個風險的”。去年籃網在第二十二順位挑選到的M.Williams，他是因為在UConn時因持有被偷走的筆店而被逮捕。 ”我們的感覺是，這些問題不會出現在這邊，這孩子是會在樂透區的位置的（如果過去沒有發生這事情的話）” Williams, who turns 21 in September, will help address the Nets' biggest weakness, while also providing a nice complement to the mid-range game of Nenad Krstic, who is expected to return from a torn left ACL in time for training camp. Williams 在九月才會滿21歲，將會幫助籃網最大的弱勢，提供Nenad Krstic 的中距離比賽很棒的幫助與互補。 Krstic 被期盼在訓練營的時候會從撕裂左ACL韌帶的傷復原回來。 Aside from being a lethal shot blocker, Williams also brings a tenacious attitude into the paint, where the Nets were repeatedly beaten last season. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers severely outplayed the Nets in the paint and won the series in six games. 除了是一位非常恐怖的蓋火鍋者，Williams 並且會在禁區內帶來頑強的態度，也是籃網過去幾次被擊敗的原因。在東區聯盟的半決賽中，騎士隊優異的以禁區優勢打敗了籃網，並且在六場比賽當中贏了系列賽。 Thorn and general manager Ed Stefanski went to Houston on Monday to meet with Williams. Thorn said he wanted to "put a voice with the face" and "get a feel" for the kind of person Williams is. The Nets also spoke to John Lucas, the former NBA star and recovering addict who counsels Williams. Thorn 還有經理人 Ed Stefanski 在星期一去了休士頓和Williams會面。 Thorn 說他想要直接與Williams會面說話，以及親自感受Williams 給人的感覺。籃網也和John Lucas 這位前 NBA 球星從吸毒恢復回來的人對話，他袒護 Williams。 Apparently Thorn was convinced that Williams' issues won't be a problem in the future. 顯然的，Thorn 很肯定 Williams 過去的爭議在未來並不會成為一個問題。 Thorn noted that Williams scored a 1,200 on his college board exams and completed the semester even after being kicked off the team last season. He also said the fact that the Nets have strong leadership in the locker room - namely Jason Kidd - had something to do with why the team was willing to take such a risk. Thorn 指出 Williams 在他的學校的考試當中拿了1200分，而且在被球隊踢出來之後還是照常完成了他的學業。他並且提到籃網的休息室已經有一個強大的領導人存在了，那個人就是 Jason Kidd ，這就是為什麼球隊會願意冒這個險。 "If he does reach his potential, he could be sensational," Thorn said. Thorn說 ”假如他達到了他的潛力，他將會相當具有影響力的” In the hours leading up to the Nets'pick, rumors circulated that the team was in discussions to swing a deal for Pacers big man Jermaine O'Neal. In exchange, the Nets were to send Richard Jefferson, Krstic and Jason Collins to Indiana. 在到籃網的選秀時刻幾個小時前，有謠言指出籃網考慮用RJ, Krstic 還有 Collins 去換溜馬隊的前鋒 Jermaine O'neal. Another rumored deal had the Nets sending Jefferson to Portland for Zach Randolph. But just before the Nets' pick was announced, the Knicks announced that they had reached an agreement to acquire the talented but troubled Trail Blazer. 另外一個過去的謠言是籃網送出RJ去換拓荒者的 Randolph。不過在籃網的選秀被揭曉之前，尼克已經宣稱他們已經達到獲得很有才能但是也是有問題存在的這位拓荒者球員。 Sources said talks between the Nets and Pacers were intense but eventually fizzled. 來源消息指出籃網和溜馬的談判非常熱烈可是最終卻是無疾而終的。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.135.254.133
