http://0rz.tw/v7Xvp Jeff Withey turned in a fine rookie campaign. He went from an afterthought on the bench to becoming an important member of the rotation to starting 3 of the final 4 games. As a starter, he averaged 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 26.1 minutes a game. Not awe inspiring numbers, but as we'll mention later, there still exists hope he could function as a key contributor on a winning squad. At the very least, he performs very well in several facets that will ensure his employment in the league for years to come. Withey也加入了優秀菜鳥的行列。從坐在板凳深處到最後4場比賽有3場先發，在先發的時候他平均7.8分5.3籃板和2.8火鍋，平均上了26.1分鐘。並不是非常優秀的數據，但存在了在一支常勝軍中他會是重要球員的希望。 Although Monty often kept Withey at the back of the bench, he did note his improvement: 雖然Monty常常將Withey冰在板凳深處，但並不代表他沒看到他的進步 "Jeff has come a long way this season," Pelicans coach Monty Williams. "He looks nothing like the guy we saw in training camp. He has worked hard. His body looks different, and he has made progress on the court working with (assistant coach) Kevin (Hanson)." 「Jeff這季進步非常多，他現在不像是當時在訓練營的那樣子，他的身材看起來不一樣，而且和助教Kevin Hanson在一起訓練讓他持續進步」Monty說 The Good Jeff Withey flashed a good deal of positives. First, he was ultra-efficient on offense. Out of all NBA players who played a minimum of 500 minutes, he ranked 9th in offensive rating. Yes, he was fastidious with his shot selection, but on a team with a wealth of scoring options, that didn't pose as a hindrance. In fact, when he was on the floor, the Pelicans boosted a positive Net Rating of 2.1 (105.5 ORtg, 103.4 DRtg), the best of all Pelican regulars not named Luke Babbitt. Withey有一些正面的表現。首先，他在進攻上異常有效率。所有至少打了500分鐘的球員中，他在進攻率上排名第9。是的，他出手很挑，但在一支有許多進攻武器的球隊，這並不是一件壞事。事實上，當他在場上，鵜鶘是+2.1(105.5ORtg, 103.4 DRtg)，除了 Babbitt外他最好。 Second, Withey posted a 6.1 BLK%. That placed him sixth in the league, sitting only behind Anthony Davis, Serge Ibaka, Bismack Biyombo, Ronny Turiaf and Chris Andersen. For all those clamoring for a twin towers effect immediately after it was announced the Pelicans selected Nerlens Noel in last year's draft, there still remains the chance of incredible paint protection down the road. 再來，他的火鍋率為6.1%。排名聯盟第六，只低於AD、一巴卡、畢勇伯、Turiaf和鳥人。對那些希望組雙塔的人，Withey給了他們另一個希望。 Third, Withey proved his reputation as a renowned collegiate defender wasn't a fluke. According to Synergy Sports, opponents managed a 39.8 FG% against him. Player tracking data via NBA.com states he held the opposition to a 42.9 FG% around the rim. That's 6 percentage points more stingy than Davis and the only bigs who averaged 25+ minutes a game to best that mark were Brook Lopez, Roy Hibbert, Larry Sanders and Robin Lopez. 三，Withey證明他防守能手的稱號並非浪得虛名。根據Synergy Sports，對方面對他的命中率只有39.8%。NBA.com的數據說明他讓對手在籃框附近的命中率只有42.9%。比AD還要少 6%。 The Bad Depending on the type of analysis used, there exists either just one major flaw or several. Jeff Withey averaged a very underwhelming 7.9 rebounds per 36. His rebounding was so poor that he ranked last on the team in percentage of rebounds per chance, 47.5%! His two point field goal percentage of 53.9% is low considering 65.9% of his attempts came from this area. His 6.8 field goal attempts per 36 invoke the belief he's a one dimensional player. 但他也有一些缺點。他每36分鐘僅僅只能抓下7.9籃板，在每次有籃板機會下有抓下籃板的比率是全隊最低，只有47.5%。他的二分命中率53.9%依照他的投籃位置來看也是偏低。每36分鐘只投了6.8球，也代表著目前他只有防守。 On the other hand, one compelling attribute was largely to blame. His lack of girth. Jeff Withey entered the league at 222 pounds and that's approximately 30 pounds less than a typical center. For centers, positioning is everything. If one doesn't have the requisite strength nor weight, it puts them at a significant disadvantage. 另外還有一個很大的缺點，他並沒有變壯。剛進聯盟時是222磅，比典型的中鋒少了大約 30磅。對於中鋒來說，位置是一切，如果沒有力量或噸位，將會吃很大的虧。 The Future "I like to model my game after Tyson Chandler defensively. It would be awesome to come here and learn from him, get some stuff from him, and mentor underneath him." 「我會將自己定位為泰山型的球員，如果能夠在這裡向他學習將會是非常棒的事」Withey 在尼克試訓的時候說 Jeff Withey uttered these words after a pre-draft workout with the New York Knicks. Lo and behold, in looking for a decent comparison for Withey, Chandler's name came up when scouring basketball reference for super efficient big men in their age-23 season the last 15 years. Data courtesy Basketball-Reference.com. Due to body proportions, the list should be narrowed down to Tyson Chandler, Steven Hunter, JaVale McGee and Ryan Hollins. However, we can take it a step further. In his rookie season, Withey averaged 3.5 personal fouls per 36 minutes. For his career, Hollins owns a career mark of 6.3, thus never displaying the necessary aptitude to play large minutes in the league. 依照身材來分，這個表(譯：表被我刪了，請到網頁去看)會縮到只剩泰山、Steven Hunter 、McGee和Ryan Hollins。Withey每36分鐘只會犯3.5次規，Ryan Hollins平均是犯6.3次，所以Hollins沒辦法上場更多時間。 Although McGee's average of 4.3 is infinitely more palatable, the differences in intelligence are readily discernible. Withey has shown to be a team-orientated player, one who doesn't exceed his boundaries. On the other hand, McGee has often made ill-use of his talent, failing to earn consistent minutes under many a head coach. Seriously, how many times has he been featured on Shaqtin a Fool? 雖然McGee的平均少了一點，但腦子差很大。Withey已經展現出來他是個團隊為主的球員，不會做超出自己能力範圍的事。而McGee常常上Shaq a fool，所以他也沒辦法上場很久。 Granted, before the season started, the comparisons of Withey's ceiling to Chandler had already been made (well at least to some low-end, less explosive Tyson Chandler). The connection was an easy one: limited offensive players who only look to convert efficient shots around the basket, excellent rim defenders and similar body types -- reflexes and agility. But, at one point, the same could have been said of Hunter. 在球季開打前，Withey的模板就是泰山。他們都是不太會進攻，範圍只在籃框附近，很會防守，身材瘦高敏捷性高。但Hunter也是這樣子。 That's a pretty broad range between just two players, so where does Withey fall? Most of it will come down to intangibles. Both Chandler and Hunter entered the league at approximately 224 pounds. They both topped out around 240 pounds. However, Chandler has shown plenty of ability to hold his own against larger opponents. His strength is above average but his motor puts him in elite company. Meanwhile, Hunter was known for shying away from physical play and had a questionable motor, hence his laughable 7.6 rebounding career average per 36. Hunter和泰山差很多，Withey會變成怎樣？泰山和獵人剛進聯盟時都大概只有224磅，現在都差不多240磅。但泰山證明了他能夠對抗大隻佬的能力，他的力量雖然高於平均，但他的鬥志才是關鍵。獵人眾所皆知不喜歡身體接觸，而且鬥志不高，因此他平均每36分鐘才抓7.6籃板。 Withey is already 23 years of age, so one can't realistically expect his frame to drastically broaden. Instead, he's going to have to dedicate himself much like Chandler, both in the weight room and in his mental approach. This is even more important considering his own self-evaluation two years ago: Withey已經23歲，所以無法預期他能夠大幅變壯。但他能夠讓自己變得像泰山，常去重訓以及增強鬥志。依照2年前他自己的描述，更需要這個。 Sometimes, I definitely need that. That challenge gets me going. Sometimes it ’s hard to jump-start my motor. I’m laid-back, so it’s hard for me to get, I guess, super angry and ready for games. 「有時候，我真的很需要火。我很懶散，所以很難讓我有火」 We, nor his potential career, can't have none of that. Though, if this season was any indication and Monty's ringing endorsement at the beginning of this article, Withey has started down the right path. He is already an elite shot-blocker. He possesses the ability to make opponents around the rim miss. He has an efficient offensive game, one that could expand given his proficiency at the free throw line. 依照Monty的說法，Withey走在正確的道路上，他已經是個非常棒的火鍋手。他擁有讓對手在籃框附近投失球的能力，有個很有效率的進攻，那將會讓他常常上罰球線。 This off-season, Withey has just two priorities. Get bigger and get tougher. If it were possible, I'd advocate him training with a soon-to-be participant of the next World's Strongest Man competition. It appears the amount of success Jeff Withey will enjoy in the NBA is directly tied to dumbbells and heart. 這個季外，Withey最該做的兩件事，就是變的更壯更硬。如果可以的話，我建議他去和要去參加「世界上最強壯的男人」的人一起訓練。Withey能有多成功就看這兩項他有多用心 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.101.190 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Pelicans/M.1398330055.A.B74.html
