Mock Draft 6.1: New picks for Knicks, Sixers in top-10 shakeup
https://goo.gl/c9Xxf1 (updated 6/9)
(節錄內文前十順位預測簡單翻譯)
1. Boston Celtics (via Nets)
=== Markelle Fultz ===
Washington Freshman Guard
Fultz was in Boston on Monday and Tuesday for interviews, medical testing and
a workout. The information will be critical for Boston in a few ways.
He didn't do medical testing at the combine, so this will give the Celtics
their first good look at his health. With Lonzo Ball refusing to work out for
the Celtics, it gives Fultz a chance to solidify the thinking that he's the
best prospect for the team.
Fultz has been the top guy on the Celtics' board for a while, but he's not
the only player they're considering. Ball, De'Aaron Fox, Josh Jackson and
Jayson Tatum are also in the mix, according to sources.
A strong workout and interview could help seal the deal for Fultz.
Fultz前往波士頓進行面試、健康檢查、試訓。
而球哥拒絕波士頓試訓邀請，使得Fultz有機會提前鎖定狀元。
不過波士頓還是有在考慮名單中其他人像是球哥、Fox、JJ、Tatum。
若Fultz試訓結果正面那麼狀元之爭有可能塵埃落定。
2. Los Angeles Lakers
=== Lonzo Ball ===
UCLA Freshman Guard
The Lakers are going out of their way to stifle talk that Ball to L.A. is a
done deal. Partially it's about controlling the narrative and their draft
destiny, but it's also around some genuine disagreements in the front office
about who's the best pick for the Lakers' future.
Fox and Jackson have a real shot at going No. 2. Ball is the favorite, but
he's far from a lock.
湖人沒有把話說死一定會選Ball。
球團內部對於#2誰會是湖人的未來有不同意見。
球哥仍然是榜眼熱門，但要說定案還早，Fox和Jackson也有可能衝上來。
3. Philadelphia 76ers (via Kings)
Josh Jackson
=== Kansas Freshman Forward ===
The chances that the Sixers draft a guard or a wing are high; the question
appears to be which one.
There's quite a debate going on between the front office and coaching staff
about whom they should take. Best player available? That's probably Jackson
or Fox. Their elite toughness, athleticism and defensive potential are very
attractive. The problem is that both players struggle as shooters and the
Sixers need backcourt players who can stroke it.
Best fit among available players? Malik Monk or Dennis Smith. Both players
are athletic, shoot well and play off the ball (a must given head coach Brett
Brown's decision to make? Ben Simmons?the Sixers' primary ball handler).
The Sixers still have several workouts to gauge the best fit, so it's
premature to put a solid favorite here. Based on the sheer level of
admiration for a particular player, it's between Fox and Jackson. I'm giving
Jackson the edge right now, but it's a slight edge.
七六人需要一個側翼或是後衛，但制服組和教練團對於要選誰有些意見。
選最好的球員？那會是Jackson或是Fox。他們夠硬、運動能力強、防守好。
但他們都缺少穩定投射能力，而這是七六人目前最需要的。
選最適合球隊的球員？那可能是Malik Monk或是Dennis Smith。他們投籃棒也能打無球。
七六人還有一些試訓讓他們可以評估要選誰，不過目前來看Jackson稍微領先Fox。
4. Phoenix Suns
=== De'Aaron Fox ===
Kentucky Freshman Guard
The Suns are hoping that Ball falls to No. 4. They like him and think he's a
good fit in their system alongside Devin Booker.
If he's not there, it will be among Jackson, Fox and Tatum. With Jackson off
the board, Fox seems like an ideal fit. The Suns are loaded with offensive
talent. Getting Fox's defensive versatility, intensity and playmaking should
really improve the Suns and open the door to an Eric Bledsoe trade.
太陽會希望Ball可以掉到第四，他們覺得球哥配上Booker在太陽會很棒。
如果Ball沒有掉下來，就是Jackson、Fox、Tatum選一個。若Jackson已經被選走，那麽
Fox看起來最為適合。太陽的進攻天份已經足夠了，Fox能為他們帶來防守、激情、組織。
如此一來Bledsoe有可能被交易。
5. Sacramento Kings (via 76ers)
=== Jayson Tatum ===
Duke Freshman Forward
Fox came in to work out with the Kings this week, and there is a strong
impulse to get him. They think he's a nice complement to Buddy Hield and he
would really ramp up the rebuilding of their culture. The problem is that
Sacramento has become his floor, not his ceiling.?
The Kings also like Jackson, but he too looks like he'll be off the board
before they draft.
There's talk inside the organization about combining picks Nos. 5 and 10 to
move up in the draft to secure Fox. If they found a taker, that would be a
high price to pay to move up two to three spots.
Other options include Tatum, Jonathan Isaac and Smith. All three players fit
a need for the Kings.
Tatum or Isaac would be a nice long-term replacement for Rudy Gay. Smith is
the next-best point guard on the board. Right now Tatum has the edge. He's
the safest of the three guys.
Fox來到國王試訓，國王很想要他，覺得Fox加上Hield非常適合，而且他也能幫助國王
重新建立起新的球隊文化。問題是最差的情況下Fox才有可能會掉到第五順位。
國王也喜歡Jackson，但看起來Jackson不會掉到第五。
內部有用#5 + #10來換#3的想法確保能選到Fox，但這付出的代價頗高(只提高兩個順位)。
其他人選像是Tatum、Isaac、Smith都滿適合國王的。
Tatum或Isaac會是頂替Gay位置的好人選，而Smith是這裡可以選到最好的控衛。
目前Tatum領先其他兩個人，也是這裡最保險的選擇。
6. Orlando Magic
=== Jonathan Isaac ===
Florida State Freshman Forward
With team president Jeff Weltman and GM John Hammond now running the show in
Orlando, you can be sure that they won't be afraid to gamble. Both of them
love long, athletic and versatile players with upside, and Isaac has as much
upside as anyone in the draft.
He's also one of the biggest risks. In Milwaukee, Hammond and Weltman bet on
Giannis Antetokounmpo?and they won't be afraid to take Isaac.
魔術不害怕在這裡賭一把，他們喜歡有運動力、多功能又有未來性的大個，Isaac正符合。
但Isaac也是風險很高的選擇，不過他們總裁跟GM在密爾瓦基時就賭過字母哥了，
他們不會害怕在Isaac身上賭一把。
7. Minnesota Timberwolves
=== Lauri Markkanen ===
Arizona Freshman Forward
We've been back and forth between Isaac and Markkanen here for several mock
drafts.
Both are excellent fits for the Wolves, who are looking for a stretch-4.
Isaac would offer more upside. Markkanen is more ready now and a more proven
shooter.
With Isaac off the board, this looks like Markkanen's spot.
在之前的預測第七順位不是Isaac就是Markkanen。
他們兩者都很適合灰狼，灰狼正在找尋延伸四號位人選。
Isaac有較佳的未來性，而Markkanen有較好的即戰力且投射能力較佳。
Issac在這之前被選走的話，看起來灰狼會選擇Markkanen。
8. New York Knicks
=== Malik Monk ===
Kentucky Freshman Guard
The Knicks are looking at a number of backcourt players, including Monk,
Smith and Frank Ntilikina.
Monk may be the highest upside player and best fit of the group. If he lands
here, Knicks fans will love him when he heats up.
尼克要在眾多後衛中選擇一人，包括Monk、Smith、Ntilikina。
Monk看起來有較佳的發展性且更適合尼克的隊形，若Monk進入狀況的話球迷們會很愛他。
9. Dallas Mavericks
=== Dennis Smith ===
NC State Freshman Guard
The Mavs need a young point guard to build around and would be happy to take
the best one that falls to them at No. 9.
Ntilikina has great size for his position, plays with strength and displays
a great feel. He's also an improving shooter. He reminds me a bit of George
Hill. Smith has more athleticism, shoots it better and is more NBA ready, but
does not quite possess the same feel for the game.
The Mavs have scouted Ntilikina more than any other team in the league, but
I think it might be hard for them to pass on Smith if he's there. He's really
good and in a normal draft would be a top-five pick.
小牛需要一個控衛並且圍繞著他重建，他們會在#9選一個最好的控衛。
法國軟豆作為一個PG有很棒的體型和力量、球感佳、投射能力也在進步中。
讓我想起George Hill。而Smith有更好的運動能力、投射能力、即戰力。但對比賽的感覺
略遜。
小牛對於法軟的觀察和研究更勝其他球隊，但如果Smith還在，很難跳過他。
Smith在正常的選秀年會是個前五順位人選。
10. Sacramento Kings (via Pelicans)
=== Frank Ntilikina ===
France Age:18 Guard
The Kings will have to be pretty happy with this haul if they end up with
Tatum and Ntilikina.
Ntilikina could be their starting point guard of the future. He's more raw
than the other elite point guard prospects, but at this point in the draft
he's a great get. Other prospects that will get a look here include Luke
Kennard, Donovan Mitchell and Harry Giles.
如果最終可以在#5和#10選到Tatum和Ntilikina，國王會非常高興。
Ntilikina會是國王將來的先發控衛，雖然和同屆其他菁英級控衛比起來他較為粗糙生嫩，
但能在這邊選到他非常棒。其他可能的人選還有Luke Kennard、Donovan Mitchell和Harry
Giles。
心得：
揪竟能不能這麼順利？
還是該衝個#3或是#1？
