Toledo guard Ryan Rollins meets the media the day after the Golden State
Warriors traded up to select him in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft.

Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers expects first-round pick
Patrick Baldwin Jr. to make the Warriors’ 15-man roster this fall. Many
assumed that much. However, it came as a surprise when Myers proclaimed that
19-year-old Toledo guard Ryan Rollins, whom the team traded up to get at No.
44 on Thursday night, is in position to do the same.
勇士總經理Bob Myers預計首輪新秀PBJ將在今年秋天進入勇士隊的 15 人名單。
這不令人訝異 (註：幹這我很訝異)。
然而，令人驚訝的是，Myers 宣布 19 歲的Toledo後衛Ryan Rollins
(球隊在周四晚上透過向上交易得到的第44簽選入)有能力做同樣的事情。
(註：這有什麼驚訝的，不讓他上是還要把餃子排進去嗎?)
That’s pretty high praise for a young guard who somewhat flew under the
radar throughout the predraft process, now joining a championship-caliber
team in San Francisco loaded with veteran talent in the backcourt. And it has
given the rookie an injection of confidence as he embarks on his professional
career.
這對一個在整個選秀過程中都有點低調的年輕後衛來說是相當高的讚譽，
現在他加入的是一支冠軍級別的球隊，後場球員還擁有資深的天才球員。
這讓這位新秀在他開始職業生涯時注入了很多信心。
(註：希望你不會變下一個麥考)
“It means a lot,” Rollins said. “I guess it just shows that (Bob) believes
in what I believe, and I believe in myself a lot. So just having someone in
the front office believe in me ... I just really needed the opportunity
because I know I’m good enough. Now I have the chance to go out there and
prove it.”
“這意味著很多，”RR說，“我想這只是表明（Bob）相信我所相信的，而且我非
常相信自己。所以只要讓人們相信我……我真的需要這個機會，因為我知道我已經足
夠好了。現在我有機會去那裡證明這一點。”
It was Rollins’ ability to create shots that ultimately convinced the
Warriors to trade up and snag him midway through the second round. Myers said
the team didn’t necessarily need a backup point guard, but when Rollins was
still on the board at that point in the draft, his talent and upside were too
much to resist.
正是RR創造投籃的能力最終說服了勇士隊在第二輪向上交易簽位並攔胡了他。
Myers說球隊不一定需要替補控球後衛 (註：幹最好是不需要)，
但是當RR在選秀的那個時候還留在檯面上時，他的天賦和優勢實在是難以抗拒。
“Thankfully Joe (Lacob) agreed to spend the $2 million to go get him,”
Myers said of the Warriors’ majority owner. “That was the logical thing,
we didn’t think he’d make it that far. The gap between Ryan and the next
guy we had was pretty high. And that’s why we made the move to try to get up
to 44.”
“謝天謝地，老闆Joe (Lacob) 最終同意花 200 萬美元去得到他，”
Myers 談到勇士隊的主要持要者。
“這是合乎邏輯的事情，我們認為他不會留到(51簽)那麼後面。
RR和我們的下一個人選之間的差距非常大。(註：古意Gui QQ)
這就是為什麼我們要努力往上拿到 44簽。”
Rollins’ potential is intriguing on film. He’s a quality scorer with a
tight handle who can make shots from all over the court, even though his
3-point shot will have to develop in the NBA. His craftiness off the dribble
allows him to get to his spots; he has an advanced understanding of the
pick-and-roll. And his 36.5-inch vertical jump and 6-foot-10 wingspan allows
him to get his shot off over taller defenders.
看影片，RR的潛力在其中非常有吸引力。
他是一個擁有緊實持球手段的, 具品質的得分手，可以從全場任一角度投籃。
即使他的三分球在NBA中需要再加強。
他狡猾的運球時可使他可以到達有利的位置。他對擋拆有深入的理解。
而他 36.5 吋的垂直彈跳和 6-10 的臂展使他能在越過更高的防守者投籃。
“I’ve been around different groups and different teams my whole life, so I
think some of my best skills is just being adaptable and being versatile,”
Rollins said. “I think if you know how to play basketball, you know how to
play basketball. It really doesn’t matter who you’re with, you have to
figure out how to play with them, learn the system, learn their strengths,
learn their weaknesses and just put them in position to be successful, and I
think I’m good at that.”
“我一生都處在在不同的團體和團隊中，所以我認為我最好的一些技能就是適應性強
和多才多藝，”RR說。“我認為如果你知道如何打籃球，你就會知道如何打籃球
。和誰在一起真的不重要，你必須弄清楚如何和他們一起打球，學習那個系統，
學習他們的長處，學習他們的弱點，然後讓他們處於成功的位置，
我想我蠻擅長這個。”
Rollins can play on or off the ball, which should ease his transition into
the Warriors’ system given how ball-dominant Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson
and Jordan Poole can be at times. And while he isn’t the most athletic guard
in this year’s class, he plays with intensity on defense, and his length
presents upside at that end of the court. And for whatever else Rollins may
lack, he makes up for it with confidence. When asked about cracking the
Warriors’ 15-man roster, he said he doesn’t think it will be too difficult.
羅林斯可以打有球或無球，這有助於他轉換到勇士的體系，尤其是
考慮到球很多時候會在的Curry、K湯和polle身上。
由於他不是今年隊上最強的後衛，他將會在防守端打得更多，
而且他的身高臂展在球場的那一端也有優勢。
對於RR可能缺乏的任何其他東西，他充滿信心地彌補了它。
當被問及如何應付勇士隊的 15 人名單時，他說他認為這不會太難。
“Once I get into the practices, I play my game, I show what I can do and
what I can bring to the team, I think it’s going to be a pretty sure thing
for me to be on the roster,” Rollins said.
“一旦我開始訓練，我會打好我的比賽，我會展示我能做什麼以及我能為球隊帶來什麼，
我認為我能進入名單是一件非常確定的事情，”RR說。
Last season at Toledo, Rollins ranked fourth in the Mid-American Conference
in both scoring (18.9 points per game) and steals (1.7 per game) and 13th in
rebounding (6 per game). He was named to the 2021-22 All-MAC team and was
also a NABC All-District 14 First Team selection as a sophomore.
上賽季在Toledo，RR在美中聯盟的得分（場均18.9分）、搶斷（場均1.7分）
和籃板（場均6次）均排名第13。他被選為為 2021-22 年全 MAC 隊，
並且在大二時被選入 NABC 全分區14 年度第一隊。
Rollins scored 641 points last season — third most in program history — and
he’s just the fourth Toledo player to score 1,000 points in his first two
seasons. But despite his college success and apparent confidence, Rollins
knows he’s far from a finished product. For starters, he needs to get
stronger and improve his 3-point accuracy. But he arrives in San Francisco
with an open mind, and embraces the opportunity to further develop his game.
羅林斯上賽季得到 641 分——在分區歷史中排名第三——
他也是Toledo第四位在前兩個賽季中得到 1000 分的球員。
但是，儘管他在大學取得了成功和明顯的自信，但RR知道他還遠未完成。
首先，他需要變得更強壯，提高他的三分命中率。但他以開放的心態來到舊金山，
並抓住了進一步發展的機會。
“There’s just so much I can learn from these guys, you know, especially
coming off a championship,” Rollins said.
That development will begin next week at the California Classic, and continue
during Las Vegas summer league.
“我可以從這些傢伙身上學到很多東西，你知道的，尤其是在奪冠之後，”RR說。
這一發展將在下週的加州精英賽(?)上開始，並在拉斯維加斯夏季聯賽期間繼續進行。

Will Santos get stashed?
Gui Santos, whom Golden State drafted out of Brazil with the 55thpick,
said he would prefer to play for the Warriors this season
because he’ll have the right resources at his disposal to improve quickly.
And although the final decision isn’t up to him, he believes he has the
skill set to contribute now.
“My experience, my energy, I’m a versatile guy,” Santos said. “I can play
both sides of the court. I can drive, I can shoot. I can do what the team
wants me to do. If they tell me to do one thing, I’ll do it.”
Santos 會被放養嗎？
金州勇士隊以第 55 順位從巴西選中的 Gui Santos 表示，
他本賽季很願意為勇士隊效力，因為他可擁有合適的資源來快速提昇自己。
儘管最終決定權不取決於他，但他相信他現在有能力做出貢獻。
“我的經驗，我的能量，我是一個多才多藝的人，”桑托斯說。
“我可以在球場的攻防兩側做出貢獻。 我會控場，我也會投籃。
我可以做球隊希望我做的事情。如果他們要我做什麼，我就會去做。”
