There may come a time when Julius Randle of Kentucky or Jabari Parker of Duke
or Australian Dante Exum will ascend to No. 1 on the Draft board in some NBA
front office, because Kansas hype machine Andrew Wiggins may be the clear
publicity leader but does not enjoy the same cushion in actual ranking
heading into what he says will be a one-and-done career. That time could even
come by tonight as four teams collide in Chicago for what is either the
Champions Classic (NCAA description) or one of the great scouting moments in
history (NBA read).
大意：
今天晚上就要在芝加哥進行champion classic了!!!!!
也可以說是最好的預選秀時刻~~
不過卻有消息指出超級人氣機Andrew Wiggins可能不會是真實排名的第一
也不會有那麼一帆風順的生涯
遞補的有可能是Julius Randle(肯塔基大學) 或是 Jabari Parker(杜克大學)
也有可能是!! Dante Exum
Yes, it is Wiggins’ race to lose as the young college season really ignites
with No. 1 Kentucky playing No. 2 Michigan State (7:30 p.m. ET) — the first
matchup of top-ranked teams since Memphis-Tennessee in February 2008 — and
No. 4 Duke facing No. 5 Kansas (9:30 ET) with a large representation of NBA
executives and scouts at United Center. But, no, it is not close to being
over, no matter how much attention the son of former Bull, Rocket and 76er
Mitchell Wiggins is generating.
大意
其實今天晚上在芝加哥的比賽重點不在輸贏
而在於在場有很多球探
而且Andrew Wiggins還是前公牛、七六人、火箭球員Mitchell Wiggins的兒子
Or as one front-office veteran, while still putting Wiggins at the top of his
list, said when asked whether the Kansas freshman is locked in as the first
selection in June: “I think in the media’s mind he is. But just in talking
to one of our guys around the league, he said Wiggins was the third-best
player in their practices. The media has Wiggins way ahead. I just don’t
think the NBA has him way ahead.”
大意
而其中一個球團在記者的詢問下發表了意見
他表示
雖然說媒體一致把Wiggins鎖定在狀元
但是其他球團可是不這麼認為，他們比較偏向把其放在前三順位
而且同時也不是很認同Wiggins一定能夠在聯盟走出自己的路
Rating Wiggins the No. 3 prospect in Kansas workouts is not exactly a body
slam because teammates Joel Embiid and Wayne Seldon are tracking to the
lottery and possibly the top eight or 10. But it’s a valuable perspective
and a chance to take a deep breath as the chase begins in earnest tonight
with several subplots (NCAA version) or headlines (NBA understanding) in the
best measurement to date.
大意
不過其實在記者的觀點中
把Wiggins放在第三順位不一定說是在打Wiggins的臉
因為其實他同隊還有兩位很強的Joel Embiid以及Wayne Seldon
但是選Wiggins還是不錯的選擇拉
It’s not just Kansas vs. Duke, but Wiggins vs. Parker, wing vs. wing, highly
touted freshman vs. highly touted freshman and a great opportunity for both.
If Wiggins plays well in the possible only pre-Draft combine in Chicago he
will probably see — every expectation is he’ll skip the real combine come
next May — his claim to No. 1 becomes stronger. A standout night from Parker
puts in a bid for a new No. 1.
大意
而今夜的對決不只是堪薩斯大學vs杜克大學
而是Wiggins vs. Parker
選秀順位的對決
想當然耳，今晚的表現大大影響了Wiggins是否能夠成為狀元
The NBA is always more concerned with what a prospect is doing in the second
half of their season and into the NCAA tournament than who performs best in
November. But this gathering of so many potential lottery picks and
first-rounders, in many cases head-to-head, is such a rare single-day
scouting run that it can’t help but register on the Draft Richter scale. It
is a better evaluation than most Final Fours, unless this turns out to be a
preview of the actual Final Four.
大意
不過其實NBA對新秀最重視的點在於他們在NCAA連賽下半季的表現
而不是11月的開季時間
因為聯賽中聚集了太多選秀潛力首輪籤
但是今晚的比賽正是一個指標
強人間的對決
最後一段大概就是再重複一次今晚的重要性
各位客倌怎麼看
