※ [本文轉錄自 PACERS 看板] 作者: pheather (鯖) 看板: PACERS 標題: [外電] Draft grades: Evaluating every team, from A+ to D 時間: Sat Jun 28 04:07:16 2008 ESPN: Draft grades: Evaluating every team, from A+ to D http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2008/columns/story? columnist=ford_chad&page=DraftGrades-080627 http://0rz.tw/c84mb By Chad Ford Updated: June 27, 2008 When I'm not covering the draft for ESPN, I grade students for a living as a university professor. So I know that instant grades are based on incomplete information. But they are also a necessary tool for evaluation. With that in mind ... how did the 30 NBA teams do in Thursday night's draft? Before Thursday, we billed this as a deep draft without a lot of star power -- and this year's grades reflect the quality of players available. Teams listed in alphabetical order by city. Atlanta Hawks Grade: Inc. Round 1: None Round 2: None Analysis: Atlanta sent this pick to the Phoenix Suns in 2005 as part of the Joe Johnson deal. Considering how well Johnson has played and the long three-year gap between the trade and this pick, we can't be too hard on the Hawks. The Suns took Robin Lopez with the pick. New Hawks GM Rick Sund isn't going to lose any sleep over missing out on him. 評價: 無法評論老鷹在 2005 年 Joe Johnson 的交易中把今年的選秀權交易給了太陽那是三年前的事了,現在 JJ 是名副其實的鷹王,我們沒啥好批評老鷹的今年太陽用這個選秀權選了 Robin Lopez,新的老鷹 GM Rick Sund 也大可不必為了和他失之交臂而輾轉難眠 Boston Celtics Grade: B Round 1: J. R. Giddens (30) Round 2: Bill Walker (47), Semih Erden (60) Analysis: The Celtics didn't make nearly the same splash in this year's draft, but they did come away with two elite athletes and an intriguing international prospect for down the road. If Giddens gains some maturity, he could be a nice, athletic shooter coming off the bench. Despite his knee injuries, Walker still has great athleticism -- his health will determine his ceiling. Overall, the Celtics addressed two positions very well for where they were drafting. 評價: B Celtics 在今年的選秀會中很不起眼,但他們仍然拿到了兩個頂尖的運動員以及一個引人遐想的國際球員如果 Giddens 能成熟,那他會是個很好,具有運動力的替補射手. 撇開他的膝傷,Walker 仍然具有很強大的運動力 --他的健康會決定他的極限總的來講,Celtics 在他們的兩個選秀位置幹得很不錯. Charlotte Bobcats Grade: B- Round 1: D.J. Augustin (9), Alexis Ajinca (20) Round 2: Kyle Weaver (38) Analysis: I'm a D.J. Augustin admirer, and I think he'll be an improvement over Raymond Felton eventually. The Bobcats were shopping Felton before the draft and I think they'll keep doing it now. Ajinca is intriguing on paper and in workouts, but I'm highly skeptical he can turn 5 points per game in the French league into a solid NBA career. I think they wasted some cash buying the pick. Weaver is a Larry Brown-type defensive specialist who can play two positions. He's a nice get at No. 38. 評價: B- 我很尊敬 D.J,而且我覺得他最終會比 Raymond Felton 更出色.山貓在選秀前就常嘗試兜售 Felton,我相信他們現在開始依然會繼續這麼做. Ajinca 的資料和測試很讓人感興趣,但我懷疑他在法國聯盟都只有 5 ppg, 來到 NBA 來還能有穩定的生涯嗎? 我覺得他們浪費了這個順位 Weaver 是個 Larry Brown 型的防守專家,能打兩個位置,能在 38 號選到很棒. Chicago Bulls Grade: A Round 1: Derrick Rose (1) Round 2: Omer Asik (36), Sonny Weems (39) Analysis: The Bulls got lucky in the lottery and made it pay off by getting the right fit for their team. I'm not sure that Rose is the most talented basketball player in the draft, but he has every intangible that you'd want in a No. 1 pick: He's tough, strong and explosive, and just as important, he's a leader who will put the team first. He'll be an All-Star for a decade and end up with a ring on his finger someday. What else can you ask for in a No. 1 pick? Asik was the only international player I really liked in the second round. He is so active and has such a great motor that he should find a place in the league the same way Anderson Varejao did. But his contract issues could delay his arrival for a while. My only issue with the pick is the high price Chicago paid for it: three second-round picks. That's a lot for someone who might never wear an NBA jersey. Weems is an athlete, but right now there's no roster space for him. 評價:A 公牛很好運的抽中了樂透大獎,並將之兌現,選了對隊伍完美的組合我不能肯定 Rose 是本屆選秀中最有天賦的球員,但他具備一切狀元該有的無形資產他夠硬,夠強壯,具有爆發力,而同樣重要的,他是個領袖,將團隊擺在優先他會成為 10 年的全明星,總有一天會拿到總冠軍.對一個狀元簽你還能要求什麼? Asik 是第二輪中我唯一真正喜歡的國際球員.他很積極,有強大的動力, 他可以像 Anderson Varejao 一樣在聯盟中掙得一席之地.但他的合約問題會拖延到他報到的時間.我對這個順位唯一的疑問是公牛付出的代價太高: 花了三個二輪才換到,對一個不知會不會穿上 NBA 球衣的球員未免也太多了 Weems 是個運動員,但現階段已經沒有給他的位置了. Cleveland Cavaliers Grade: A- Round 1: J. J. Hickson (19) Round 2: None Analysis: Hickson has been one of my sleepers in the draft. He has an NBA body and great athleticism, and he can play inside and out. His game needs to develop, but the raw tools are impressive. He could be a nice long-term replacement for Joe Smith. At No. 19, he was one of the few players left on the board with a chance of being a great player. 評價: A- Hickson 是我認為選秀中的沉睡者. 他有 NBA 的身材,很好的運動力,而且他能裡能外他的球技還需要發展,但現在這些青澀的部份就已經讓人印象深刻. 他會是 Joe Smith 長期的替代方案. 在 19 順位,他是檯面上少數有機會成長為偉大球員的其中之一 Dallas Mavericks Grade: D Round 1: None Round 2: Shan Foster (51) Analysis: Dallas sent its first-round pick to the Nets as part of what is shaping up to be a disastrous deal for Jason Kidd. With the Mavs looking old and on the downward slope, they no longer have a pick to start to reload their team. Foster is a good shooter, but he has virtually no chance of getting any burn in Dallas unless the team decides not to sign any guards this summer in free agency. 評價: D 達拉斯在那樁毀滅性的 Jason Kidd 交易中把第一輪送給了籃網. 當這支小牛看起來像隻老牛,越來越往下滑,他們居然還沒有選秀權來注入新血 Foster 是個好的射手,但他在達拉斯完全沒有機會,除非球隊在今年夏天不打算簽下任何自由球員. Denver Nuggets Grade: Inc. Round 1: None Round 2: None Analysis: The Nuggets traded their first-round pick to the Bobcats for cash. Given what was left on the board at No. 20, it's hard to say it was a big mistake, though I think Mario Chalmers could have been a nice guard for them. 評價: 無法評價金塊用選秀權向山貓換來了現金. 看看 20 順位檯面上可選的人物,也很難說這樣的決策是個錯誤,儘管我認為 Mario Chalmers 對他們來講會是個很棒的後衛 Detroit Pistons Grade: B Round 1: None Round 2: Walter Sharpe (32), Trent Plaisted (46), Deron Washington (59) Analysis: No one knows if Sharpe will be a stud or a bust. But I like the pick just because it's Detroit president Joe Dumars being bold, as usual, trying to reach for greatness. Sometimes things don't pan out, but he keeps trying. Plaisted is solid at No. 46, and Washington is a great athlete who will probably play overseas. Sharpe will be the guy to watch, and since he's such a gamble, I'm not sure how to grade the pick. But for boldness, it gets a B. 評價: B 沒有人知道 Sharpe 會成功或失敗,但我還挺喜歡這個選秀,因為活塞老總一如往常的勇於嘗試,有時候事情無法盡如人意,但他仍努力不懈 Plaisted 在 46 是紮實的選秀,而 Washington 很可能會在海外打球. Sharpe 會是觀察的重點,因為他是這樣一個明顯的賭注.我不確定如何評價這次選秀, 看在勇氣的分上,我給 B Golden State Warriors Grade: A Round 1: Anthony Randolph (14) Round 2: Richard Hendrix (49) Analysis: Randolph has as much upside as anyone in the draft not named Beasley or Rose. But as with the huge upside guy they took last year, Brandan Wright, it might take Randolph a while to realize it. I'm assuming down the road they'll play Wright at the 4 and hope Randolph develops into a 3. Along with Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins, Wright and Randolph could form a nice young core for the time when Baron Davis, Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson move on. As for Hendrix, he can be a solid role player -- a good get at No. 49. 評價: A Randolph 比起本屆選秀中 Beasley 和 Rose 之外的任何人上漲得都多. 但回頭看看去年同樣大漲的傢伙: Brandan Wright,可能需要一點時間來瞭解一下我認為 Wright 最後會定在 4 號而 Randolph 會發展成 3 號. 和 Monta Ellis 以及 Andris Biedrins 一起, Wright 和 Randolph 可以組成一組年輕的核心, 在 BD, Al Harrington 和 Stephen Jackson 離開之後關於 Hendrix,他會是個紮實的角色球員 -- 49 順位的好選擇 Houston Rockets Grade: B+ Round 1: Donte Greene (28) Round 2: Joey Dorsey (33), Maarty Leunen (54) Analysis: The Rockets had a bizarre night. First they traded the guy they drafted at No. 25, Nicolas Batum, to the Blazers for Darrell Arthur and Joey Dorsey. Then they turned around and sent Arthur to Memphis for Greene. Why they didn't just select Greene at No. 27 is a mystery. I think they would've been better off keeping Arthur, but they still did well. Greene has upside as a Rashard Lewis-type forward, and Dorsey, if he gets his act together, could be the second coming of Ben Wallace. Both could help them down the road. Leunen? Not so much. 評價: B+ 火箭有個奇異的夜晚. 首先他們把 25 順位選到的 Nicolas Batum,交易到拓荒者換來 Darrell Arthur 和 Joey Dorsey,接著他們轉頭又把 Arthur 送到曼非斯換來 Greene.他們幹麼不直接在 27 順位選 Greene 還是個謎我認為他們留著 Arthur 會更好,但他們還算幹得不錯. Greene 是個 Rashard Lewis 型的上漲類股,而 Dorsey 肯幹的話,可能成為第二個 Ben Wallace. 兩位都可以提供球隊幫助. Leunen? 沒啥好說 Indiana Pacers Grade: A Round 1: Brandon Rush (13), Roy Hibbert (17) Round 2: None Analysis: To evaluate the Pacers, you have to take a step back a day to see how everything unfolded. They traded the chronically injured Jermaine O'Neal and a second-round pick for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston and the No. 17 pick. That means they added a starting point guard coming off a career year, significant cap space in 2009 and a prospect. Then Indiana swapped No. 11 and Ike Diogu for No. 13 and picked up a solid backup point guard, Jarrett Jack, and a local hero, Josh McRoberts. So in the course of two days, the Pacers rebuilt their team in a way that improves it now and in the future. The Pacers should be much more exciting to watch with a Ford/Jack/Rush/Mike Dunleavy backcourt. The additions of Hibbert and Nesterovic give them some much-needed size. And with several major expiring contracts, including Nesterovic, Marquis Daniels and Jeff Foster, they'll have some significant trading chips at the trade deadline or real cap space in the summer of 2009. Kudos to president Larry Bird and general manager David Morway for one of the most sophisticated rebuilding efforts I've seen. 評價: A （ﾟдﾟ）要評價溜馬,得先倒帶一天看看事情是怎樣發生的.他們送走了長年病痛的小歐和一個二輪,換來了 T.J Ford,大 N, Maceo Baston 以及 17 順位.這意味著他們獲得了一個打出生涯年的先發級控衛,2009 年的大量薪資空間,還有一個新秀接著溜馬把 11 順位和 Ike Diogu 換來了 13 順位以及一個紮實的替補控衛, Jarrett Jack, 以及印城本地的英雄, Josh McRoberts. 所以,在這兩天內,溜馬以改善現在及未來的方式重建了隊伍.溜馬應該很興奮看到 Ford/Jack/Rush/Dunleavy 的後場組合. Hibbert 和大N 的加入增加了他們迫切需要的體型.而有著好幾張到期合約,包括大 N, Marquis Daniels,和佛爺,他們擁有不少交易籌碼,在交易截止日,或是 2009 夏天年獲得真正的薪資空間. 向總裁 Larry Bird 以及 GM David Morway 致上敬意,這是我看過最複雜的重建工作之一 Los Angeles Clippers Grade: B+ Round 1: Eric Gordon (7) Round 2: DeAndre Jordan (35), Mike Taylor (55) Analysis: The Clippers were on the verge of a trade that would've gotten them the No. 4 pick in the draft. Their target was O.J. Mayo and the cost was the No. 7 pick and a future first-round pick. While they didn't get Mayo, they did get another player they wanted at No. 7, so it worked out for them. I'm not sold on Gordon. He's a good shooter and an excellent athlete, but he lacks two important things: a midrange game and size. Since L.A. also needed a point guard, I think D.J. Augustin would've been a better pick. What pushes the grade higher is grabbing Jordan in Round 2. He was overrated as a lottery prospect, with a questionable attitude and so-so production. But at this point in the draft, he is no risk and all reward. If Jordan develops, he could get some other GMs in hot water. If he fails, then nothing lost. Taylor is a nice player who could find a spot in the league. 評價: B+ 快艇差點就要達成拿到 #4 的交易.他們的目標鎖定 Mayo,代價是 #7 以及未來的首輪選秀權. 後來他們沒拿到 Mayo,而選了第七順位他們想要的球員,這樣也不錯我不想為 Gordon 背書. 他是個好的射手,很優異的運動力,但他缺乏兩樣重要的東西: 中距離和體型. 既然快艇需要一個控衛,我認為 D.J Augustin 會是個更好的選擇讓評價上升的是在第二輪撿到 Jordan. 他被高估為樂透人選,態度有問題,普普的測試但在第二輪的這個點,撿他根本沒風險只會淨賺. 如果 Jordan 打得出來,那會讓很多錯過他的 GM 跳腳. 打不出來,也沒啥損失 Taylor 是個好球員,可以在聯盟中找到一席之地. Los Angeles Lakers Grade: A Round 1: None Round 2: Joe Crawford (58) Analysis: Los Angeles traded the No. 28 pick to Memphis (along with their 2010 first-round pick plus Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol and Kwame Brown) as part of the Pau Gasol trade. I think the Lakers would do that deal a hundred times over. I don't see Crawford ever wearing a Lakers uniform, but at No. 58, what do you expect? 評價: A 湖人把 28 順位交易到了曼非斯 (和 10 年的首輪,Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol Kwame Brown 一起) 作為 Pau Gasol 交易的籌碼. 我想再問湖人 100 次,他們還是會做這個交易. 我甚至沒看過 Crawford 穿過湖人制服,但對於 58 順位,你還期待什麼? Memphis Grizzlies Grade: B+ Round 1: O.J. Mayo (3), Darrell Arthur (27) Round 2: None Analysis: I've been hard on Memphis GM Chris Wallace for the Pau Gasol deal, but I thought he went a long way toward redeeming himself on draft night. The trade to get Mayo wasn't perfect for the Grizzlies. It cost them an excellent player in Mike Miller and a top prospect in Kevin Love, and it forced them to take back a contract that was actually worse than Brian Cardinal's -- the dreaded Marko Jaric contract. But the Grizzlies ended up with a player who has the potential to be better than Love, and they actually broke about even in the deal financially. They they traded the rights of Donte' Greene for Arthur and in the process filled their hole at power forward with a guy who was one of the most underrated 4s in the draft. They now have to figure out a few more deals (they are overloaded at the guard position and undermanned in the frontcourt), but overall I think Wallace did well, coming away with the third-best player in the draft, one of the few guys this year with real All-Star potential. 評價: B+ 在 Pau Gasol 的交易裡,我對灰熊 GM Chris Wallace 很苛刻,但我認為在選秀夜他贖了不少罪. 獲得 Mayo 的交易對灰熊來說並非完美. 花了一個好球員 Mike Miller 和一個前段順位 Kevin Love, 並被迫吞下比 Brian Cardinal 更爛的 Marko Jaric 合約. 但灰熊最後還是拿到了比 Love 更有潛力的球員,財務上也算打平. 接著他們用 Greene 換來 Arthur,本屆最被低估的球員之一填補了他們在 PF 位置的洞他們現在必須去弄清接下來的交易 (後場爆滿,而前場匱乏),但總的來講,我認為 Wallace 幹得不錯,拿到本屆第三好的球員,今年少數具有全明星潛力的其中之一 Miami Heat Grade: A+ Round 1: Michael Beasley (2) Round 2: Mario Chalmers (34), Darnell Jackson (52) Analysis: I hate to break it to what looked like a very sober, perhaps disappointed Pat Riley, but the Heat won this draft. They walked away with arguably the best player in the draft and then got a second-round steal at point guard, a position at which Miami really needed help. Beasley has a chance to be a superstar. With him and Dwyane Wade, the Heat have a terrific future. On top of that, Miami got a player at No. 34 who I had ranked as a potential mid-first-round pick. Chalmers is perfect for Riley: He is tough, plays defense, can shoot the lights out and is a winner. Once the Heat find a way to trade Shawn Marion, they'll be in great shape to make a big run at a young free agent next summer. And according to John Hollinger's statistical formula, Jackson is one the biggest sleepers in the draft. 評價: A+ 我很不想談論那個看起來嚴肅,有時候失望的 Pat Riley,但熱火是這次選秀的贏家他們拿到了選秀中最好的球員,而載第二輪偷到了一個控衛,一個熱火急需的位置 Beasley 有成為超級巨星的機會. 有他和 Wade,熱火的未來無可限量. 除此之外, 熱火在 34 順位還選到了我評估在首輪中段的球員. Chalmers 對 Riley 可說是完美: 他更強硬,能防守,能投籃,是個贏家. 只要熱火找到交易 Shawn Marion 的方法,他們就已經準備好在明年的自由市場大幹一筆,競逐年輕的自由球員而根據 John Hollinger 的統計公式, Jackson 是本次選秀中最大的沉睡者之一 Milwaukee Bucks Grade: B Round 1: Joe Alexander (8) Round 2: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (37) Analysis: I loved the idea of Alexander in Milwaukee before the Bucks traded for Richard Jefferson. After they made the trade, drafting Alexander didn't get me as excited. The Bucks should've looked to shore up holes on their team. Alexander is a special talent with great upside, but if he's buried behind Jefferson, what's the point? I like Mbah a Moute as a Bruce Bowen-like defender -- but he's a small forward, too. Where are they all going to play? 評價: B 在公鹿交易來 RJ 之前,我很喜歡選來 Alexander 的主意. 但在交易之後,選來 Alexander 就讓我興趣缺缺. 公鹿早該想辦法補上隊上的洞. Alexander 有特別的天賦,身價大漲,但假如他被擠到 RJ 後面,那又有什麼用? 我喜歡 Mbah a Moute,一個像包叔的防守者,他也是個小前鋒. 他們要在哪裡打球? Minnesota Timberwolves Grade: A- Round 1: Kevin Love (5) Round 2: Nikola Pekovic (31) Analysis: For the first time in more than a decade, Minnesota's Kevin McHale is earning an A from me. He did a really nice job getting value for Mayo at No. 3 and putting together a young team that could win 35 to 40 games next year. Love won't be a superstar, but he's going to be solid. Pairing him in the front court with Al Jefferson makes the Wolves a little undersized, but they now have two excellent low-post scoring options. Besides Love, the key acquisition was Mike Miller. He immediately comes in to fill a huge hole (long-range shooting) for the Wolves. If Randy Foye is healthy and can play up to his potential, the Wolves have the makings of a nice team. There's hope in Minnesota for the first time in a while. I didn't think we would see that with McHale on the watch, but I was wrong. Pekovic can't come over for a few years, but he's also a low-post bruiser who has put up big numbers in Europe. 評價: A- 十年多來第一次, McHale 從我這兒拿到了個 A. 這回他真的幹得不錯,發揮了第三順位拿 Mayo 的價值,組成了一組年輕的陣容,明年可望拿下 35-40 勝 Love 不會是個超級巨星,但他會是個紮實的球員. 他和 Al Jefferson 搭配的前場讓灰狼的陣容有些矮小,但他們現在有兩個優異的低位得分選擇. 除了 Love,關鍵人物是 Mike Miller. 他馬上補上了灰狼陣容中的大洞 (長射能力) 假使 Foye 健康而且能發揮出他的潛力,那麼灰狼看起來就像隻很棒的隊伍. 長久以來,明尼蘇達終於露出了希望的曙光. 我曾以為 McHale 不可能辦得到這種事, 但我錯了. Pekovic 幾年內不會來,但他也是個在歐洲混得不錯的低位硬漢. New Jersey Nets Grade: A- Round 1: Brook Lopez (10), Ryan Anderson (21) Round 2: Chris Douglas-Roberts (39) Analysis: The Nets had a really big day. First they moved Richard Jefferson in a deal that brought them Yi Jianlian and something that might be more important: cap relief. As we know, LeBron James can become a free agent in 2010, and his friend Jay-Z, a Nets co-owner, will be preparing the welcome mat for King James. Then the team added a couple of other important assets on draft night. Lopez won't be great, but at No. 10 he's a value pick as a center who can score around the basket. Douglas-Roberts is much better than his draft position suggests -- he should've been a late first-rounder. I'm more skeptical about Anderson. Like Yi, he's a face-the-basket 4, so his selection seems redundant to me. Then again, I'm not sure at No. 21 there was anyone much better. 評價: A- 籃網真的度過了重大的一天. 首先他們交易了 RJ, 換來了易以及可能更重要的: 薪資空間. 如我們所知, LBJ 在 2010 年會跳脫成為自由球員,而他的好友Jay-Z,籃網的共有者,將準備迎接 King James 接著籃網添加了一些重要的資產. Lopez 不會是偉大球星,但在第 10 順位他是個合理的選擇,一個能在籃框附近得分的中鋒. CDR 遠比他的選秀順位來得好 -- 他應該是首輪後段的. 我很懷疑 Anderson. 就像易,他是個面框的 4 號,所以選他就讓我困惑了. 但,我不確定在 21 順位是不是還有更好的人選 New Orleans Hornets Grade: Inc. Round 1: None Round 2: None Analysis: The Hornets sold the No. 27 pick to the Blazers for $3 million. Given their needs, it was probably a good idea. The Hornets will probably try to make a run at a free agent like Ben Gordon this summer in an attempt to upgrade the 2 position. 評價: 無法評價黃蜂把 27 順位賣給拓荒者換來三百萬現金. 考慮他們的需求,這也許是個不錯的主意. 黃蜂今夏可能會想競逐自由球員如 Ben Gordon,嘗試升級兩個位置. New York Knicks Grade: A- Round 1: Danilo Gallinari (6) Round 2: None Analysis: With the Knicks' three favorite backcourt players gone -- Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo and Russell Westbrook -- new Knicks president Donnie Walsh did the right thing. Gallinari is a talent and one of the few guys in the draft who could really be special someday. Those who are bashing the pick because Gallinari is a project should do their homework. Gallinari was the team leader on an Italian Euroleague team -- and the Euroleague is much more competitive than the NCAA. Euroleague teams scrimmage NBA teams in the preseason and beat them from time to time. The fact that Gallinari has starred there at such a young age suggests that he's more ready than most of the freshmen rushing into the league. And with Mike D'Antoni coaching him, you can bet the Knicks will play to his strengths. Gallinari has weaknesses -- he has so-so lateral quickness and lacks muscle. I'm not sure he'll ever turn into Dirk Nowitzki, to whom he's been compared. And the Knicks still have a long way to go in the rebuilding process. But this was a good start for the Knicks. If they can use David Lee to get a legit young point guard, they'll keep moving in the right direction. 評價: A- 在三個尼克偏愛的後場球員: Rose, Mayo, Westbrook 中,新任老總 Donnie Walsh 做了正確的選擇. Gallinari 是個天才,本屆選秀中少數有一天能變得特出的人之一.那些批評Gallinari 的人應該回去做功課. Gallinari 是一支義大利歐洲聯盟球隊的隊長,而歐洲聯盟遠比 NCAA 要競爭多了. 歐洲聯盟球隊在季前賽和 NBA 混戰而且數度擊敗他們. Gallinari 在如此年輕的年紀就在那兒發光發熱,說明了他比大多數急著進入聯盟的大一新鮮人都還要成熟.而且有 Mike D'Antoni 指導他,你可以賭尼克能發揮出他的長處. Gallinari 也有弱點: 他的橫向移動普通,缺乏肌肉. 我不確定他是不是會變成 Dirk Nowitzki, 如他過去的比較模板. 而尼克在重建路上還有好一段要走. 但這對尼克而言是個好的開始,如果他們能用 David Lee 換來個好的年輕控衛,他們就是在往正確的方向上移動. Orlando Magic Grade: B- Round 1: Courtney Lee (22) Round 2: None Analysis: Lee was a "need" pick and a solid one. He can score a variety of ways, and the Magic needed a 2. But he wasn't the best player on the board. Darrell Arthur, for instance, would have been a better pick. I'm not down on Lee, but he's not a guy who can put them over the top. 評價: B- Lee 是個選"位置"的選秀,也是個紮實的球員. 他能用多種方式得分,而魔術也需要個 2號但他並不是該順位上最好的球員,比方說 Darrell Arthur,會是個更好的選擇我不是要批評 Lee,但他不會是將魔術推上頂點的球員 Philadelphia 76ers Grade: A- Round 1: Marreese Speights (16) Round 2: None Analysis: Speights is a really nice pick for the 76ers. While I had him rated slightly behind Darrell Arthur, Speights might be a better fit for Philly. He's the kind of low-post bruiser and rebounder they need. And he's much more skilled than people realize. If he stays in shape and works hard, he could end up being like Sixers forward Thaddeus Young, one of the steals of last year's draft. 評價: A- Speights 對76人是個很棒的選秀.我對他的評價稍遜於 Arthur,但他可能更適合76人. 他是個76人需要的低位硬漢和籃板手.而他也比人們以為的更有技巧.假如他能維持體型並且努力,他可以變得像76人的前鋒 Thaddeus Young,去年選秀上的一偷 Phoenix Suns Grade: B Round 1: Robin Lopez (15) Round 2: Malik Hairston (48) Analysis: First the good news: The Suns didn't sell or trade their first-round pick for a change. Their scouts must have been high-fiving when this pick went down. Can you imagine traveling all over the world for a year to scout players and then having your team take a pass year after year? When the moment of truth came, Phoenix took the guy who might have been the best player available. Lopez could become an Anderson Varejao-type defensive presence. Hairston is a nice pick at No. 48. He's solid at just about everything; he could make the team as a defender and spot-up shooter. 評價: B 首先是好消息: 太陽這次沒有賣掉他們的首輪選秀. 他們的球探想必擊掌慶祝過了. 你能想像一年到頭跑遍全世界去探勘球員,而你的球隊卻喊每年都喊 pass 的情況嗎? 當這個時刻真的來臨,太陽選擇了他們能選到的最佳球員. Lopez 可以像是 Anderson Varejao 型的防守球員. Hairston 在 48 順位是個不錯的選擇. 他在各方面都很紮實; 他可以擔任這隻球隊的防守者和定點射手. Portland Trail Blazers Grade: A- Round 1: Jerryd Bayless (11), Nicolas Batum (25) Round 2: None Analysis: For the third straight year, the Blazers walk away with an A in the draft. Portland GM Kevin Pritchard continues to be the most daring, creative and active GM in the league. If I were to use a draft term to describe him, I'd say he's got an amazing motor. The Blazers had a prearranged deal with the Pacers to move up to No. 11 if D.J. Augustin or Bayless were on the board. After the draft, Pritchard told me they had Bayless ranked fourth on their board -- so that's great value at No. 11. As part of the trade, they also picked up Ike Diogu, an undervalued big man who has been injured a lot. Pritchard also bought the No. 27 pick from the Hornets and traded up late in the first round to get another player he wanted, Nicolas Batum. In the second round, Pritchard turned three second-round picks into four future picks. That works because, given the roster crunch of the Blazers, they just didn't have any room for more players now. Bayless is an upgrade over the guy the Blazers lost in the trade, Jarrett Jack. Bayless is a better athlete and a much better shooter. If he develops his point guard skills, he could be a Chauncey Billups-type of point guard. I'm not as high on Batum. The guy Pritchard traded away, Darrell Arthur, will probably be a much better NBA player. But some scouts believe Batum has great upside, and the Blazers felt he was worth the risk. 評價: A- 連續第三年,拓荒者拿到了 A 級評價.拓荒者 GM Kevin Pritchard 依然是聯盟中最敢, 最有創意和最積極的 GM. 如果要我用選秀詞彙來評論他的話,我會說他是部驚人的馬達拓荒者和溜馬有事先談好的交易: 向上交易 #11,如果 DJ Augustin 或 Bayless 到時還在的話. 選秀之後, Pritchard 告訴我他們把 Bayless 排名第四,所以能用 #11 選到真是太划算了.而作為交易的一部分,他們還拿到了 Ike Diogu,一個被低估,常受傷的長人 Pritchard 還從黃蜂買來了 #27,接著換來另個首輪,選了他想要的球員,Nicolas Batum 在第二輪,Pritchard 把三個第二輪換成了四個未來的選秀權. 這樣做很好,因為拓荒者現在的陣容已經沒有更多空間給年輕球員了 Bayless 是個拓荒者交易中失去的球員 Jarett Jack 的全面升級版. Bayless 的運動力更好,也是個更好的射手.如果他能發展出控衛的技術,他可以變成 Chaucey Billup 型的控衛我對 Batum 的評價不高. Pritchard 交易掉的那個球員, Darrell Arthur,可能是個更好的 NBA 球員.但有些球探相信 Batum 有很大進步空間,而拓荒者覺得值得一賭 Sacramento Kings Grade: C- Round 1: Jason Thompson (12) Round 2: Sean Singletary (42), Patrick Ewing Jr. (43) Analysis: A team should not be criticized just for doing the unexpected. But the Kings made a huge reach for Thompson at No. 12. He's going to be a solid rotation player at best. But it looks like he might be the Shelden Williams of this draft. With solid players like Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers and upside guys like Anthony Randolph and Marreese Speights on the board, I think the Kings blew it. Singletary could be a nice second-round pick. But I have a hard time believing Ewing has a spot in the league. 評價: C- 一支球隊不該只因為做了預期外的事而被批評.但國王在 12 順位選 Thompson 也出手太早了.他最好的情況可以變成個紮實的綠葉球員,但看他可能變成這次選秀的 Shelden Williams. 當紮實的球員像 Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur,和 Mario Chalmes 以及身價上漲的像 Anthony Randolph, Marreese Speights 都還可選的時候,我認為國王搞砸了 Singletary 可能是個不錯的二輪選秀. 但我不太相信 Ewing 能在聯盟中存活. San Antonio Spurs Grade: C Round 1: George Hill (26) Round 2: Goran Dragic (42), James Gist (57) Analysis: The Spurs are one of the best-drafting teams in the league, so I'm wary of criticizing them. But sometimes a team can be too clever for its own good. Hill is a nice player, but I don't believe he's a better point guard than Mario Chalmers. I do like Dragic at No. 42 as a guy who could eventually find his way here to play an important role on a team. Gist is a great athlete, but I'm not sure he's got what it takes to stick. 評價: C 馬刺是聯盟中最會選秀的球隊,所以我在批評他們的時候很小心翼翼.但有時候球隊太過自作聰明了. Hill 是個好球員,但我不認為他是個比 Mario Chalmers 更好的控衛我很喜歡 42 順位的 Dragic,能找到他在球隊中的重要角色.Gist有很好的運動力,但我不確定他能好好運用它. Seattle SuperSonics Grade: A- Round 1: Russell Westbrook (4), Serge Ibaka (24), D.J. White (29) Round 2: DeVon Hardin (50), Sasha Kaun (56) Analysis: A lot of people seem shocked the Sonics went with Westbrook this high, but I'm not. His combination of length, athleticism, motor and defensive toughness makes him an ideal fit with Kevin Durant. Westbrook needs to improve offensively, but at worst he is a defensive stopper. And he could become one of the best point guards in the league down the road. I had him rated as the fourth-best prospect in the draft, right behind Rose, Beasley and Mayo. Ibaka is a great keeper pick for later. He's got amazing athleticism, but they're going to have to be very patient. White also was underrated. He's an excellent rebounder with toughness. Hardin also has a chance to make it as a defensive specialist. Clearly the Sonics are thinking about ways to surround Durant with defenders. 評價: A- 好一部分人聽到超音速這麼高就選了 Westbrook 嚇了一跳,但我沒有.他綜合了身材運動力,機動性和防守硬度,這讓他成為 Kevin Durant 的完美搭檔.Westbrook 需要加強進攻,但再差他也會是個防守大鎖.而他照這樣下去有可能變成聯盟中的頂級控衛之一.我把他評在 Rose, Beasley, Mayo 後本屆第四強的新秀接下來撿 Ibaka 撿得很好.他有驚人的體能,但他們得有相當高的耐心去培養. White 也被低估,他是個傑出的籃板手,夠硬. Hardin 也有機會變成防守專家. 很明顯超音速是用一群防守者圍繞著 Durant 來建隊. Toronto Raptors Grade: B Round 1: None Round 2: Nathan Jawai (41) Analysis: The Raptors traded away their first-round pick in the Jermaine O'Neal trade and got back a second-round pick. Jawai's strength and width are a good fit on a Toronto team that's trying to fill some holes in the middle. 評價: B 暴龍在小歐的交易中送走了首輪而換來了二輪選秀. Jawai 的強壯和寬度會是一直嘗試彌補禁區漏洞的暴龍隊不錯的搭配. Utah Jazz Grade: A- Round 1: Kosta Koufos (23) Round 2: Ante Tomic (44), Tadija Dragicevic (53) Analysis: The Jazz wanted to add some size, and they did. Koufos is a steal here -- he's a little like the second coming of Mehmet Okur, a big guy who likes to face the basket but who can mix it up inside. He was up and down as a freshman, but the talent is there. Tomic reminds me of a young Pau Gasol. He's very skilled, but he lacks the strength to play in the post. He'll stay in Croatia the next two years, but down the road he could really be a prospect. Dragicevic was the Adriatic League MVP -- and Utah GM Kevin O'Connor called me after the draft to rib me about not knowing that when I did my instant analysis. But as I told Bill Simmons in our debate, I'm trying to swear off the Euros. 評價: A- 爵士想要增加大個子,而他們也做到了.Koufos 是一偷,他有點 Mehmet Okur 再現, 一個喜歡面框的大個兒,也能在內線攪和.他大一的表現起伏不定,但天份擺在那兒. Tomic 讓我想起了年輕的 Pau Gasol. 他很有技巧,但要打低位不夠強壯.未來兩年他會待在克羅埃西亞,但最後還是有可能會來. Dragicevic 是亞得里亞聯盟 MVP --而猶他 GM Kevin O'Connor 在選秀會完打電話給我,取笑我在做分析的時候還不知道這檔事,但就像我和 Bill Simmons 辯論時所說的我正努力戒掉歐洲. Washington Wizards Grade: C+ Round 1: JaVale McGee (18) Round 2: None Analysis: McGee has upside -- kind of like Andray Blatche does. McGee made a big mistake coming out early, and I doubt he'll ever turn all that upside into a real NBA game. 評價: C+ McGee 身價上揚 --就像 Andray Blatche 一樣. McGee 犯了個大錯,他投入選秀太早而我很懷疑他能否把他的身價轉換為真正的 NBA 球賽.
