Minnesota Timberwolves 2006 Draft Preview
明尼蘇達灰狼'06年選秀預覽
Kevin Garnett trade rumors are probably going to dominate Minnesota's offseason
, even though the Timberwolves have the sixth overall pick in the draft and
should be able to add an exciting player.
一整個暑假休兵期間明尼蘇達都將籠罩在狼王KG的交易傳言中，僅管灰狼在選秀會上
握有第六順位的選秀權，而且很可能可以藉此獲得一個令人興奮的球員。
Minnesota, which lost in the 2003-04 Western Conference finals to Los Angeles
Lakers, missed the playoff for a second straight year. The Timberwolves
finished with a disappointing 33-49 record.
在'03-'04年西區冠軍賽敗給洛杉磯湖人的灰狼已經連續第二年與季後賽擦肩而過，今
年球季他們例行賽戰績是令人失望的33勝49敗。
The 30-year-old Garnett led the Timberwolves in scoring (21.8 ppg) and
rebounding (12.7 rpg) during the 2005-06 campaign. He seems to have lost some
of his passion and is visibly frustrated with the state of his squad.
邁向三十而立之年的KG在'05-'06年球季得分(21.8分)和籃板(12.7個)都冠於全隊，他
似乎已經失去了一些對於勝利的渴望和激情，而且顯而易地見已經對於球隊的狀況感到失
望透頂。
If Minnesota can add some talent it could rejuvenate Garnett. Ricky Davis, who
was acquired from Boston during the season in a trade that sent Wally
Szczerbiak to the Celtics, is a nice player. But the Timberwolves will not win
with Davis, who averaged 19.4 points in 78 games with Minnesota and Boston last
season, as their No. 2 option.
如果灰狼可以增添一些天份，或許可以讓KG疲憊的心恢復一些生氣。球季中灰狼藉由
將W.Szczerbiak送至波士頓塞爾提克所換來的R.Davis是一位好球員，灰狼如果少了這位在
塞爾提克及灰狼共78場比賽中平均可以獲得19.4分的球員來當作球隊的二當家，他們將會
沒辦法贏得球賽。
Marcus Banks, Mark Blount, Trenton Hassell, Troy Hudson and Marko Jaric are all
role players, while guard Rashad McCants showed a lot of potential during his
rookie campaign.
M.Banks、M.Blount、T.Hassell、T.Hudson和M.Jaric都只是單一功能性球員，而RMC
在他的菜鳥球季就已展現了他具有相當大的發展淺力。
Garnett is not the problem in Minnesota. The Timberwolves need to surround
their All-Star forward with different players, and the draft is the right place
to start. An athletic forward that can score would be a nice complement to
Garnett. Connecticut's Rudy Gay or Rodney Carney of Memphis would fit in very
nicely.
KG在明尼蘇達的表現根本無可挑剔，灰狼需要在這位全明星前鋒的周圍配置一些不同
的球員，而選秀會正是一個他們嘗試努力的適當起點。一個運動力強大、得分能力出色的
前鋒將會是KG的好伙伴，康乃迪克的R.Gay或孟斐斯的R.Carney將會是相當合適的人選。
Minnesota also has three picks in the second round (36th, 37th, 57th). The
draft is the start of what should be a very busy offseason in Minnesota.
灰狼在第二輪也握有三個選秀權(分別是第三十六、三十七及五十七順位)，選秀會將
是灰狼可能會相當忙碌的暑假休兵期的開端。
