I’m not keen on typecasting players by position, but let’s say you insist
on having a passing point guard. Would you rather have:
Player A: 32.2 assist percentage, 14.3 turnover percentage
Player B: 21.9 assist percentage, 14.3 turnover percentage
The Kings, reportedly set on getting a distributing point guard, signed
Player B (Darren Collison) and discarded Player A (Isaiah Thomas).
Yeah, I don’t know either.
「我並不熱衷於打同一個位置，不過打個比方，如果今天你
堅持要一個傳球型控衛，你有兩個選擇：
A:32.2 AST% ,14.3 TO%
B:21.9 AST% ,14.3 TO%
國王選擇簽B(Darren Collison)而揮棄A(Isaish Thomas)
好吧，我也不知道為什麼」
Thomas averaged 20.3 points and 6.3 assists per game last season, but that
still wasn’t good enough for Sacramento, which let its starting point guard
join the Suns after signing Collison.
I’m sure Thomas felt wanted in Phoenix, but that’s not the only reason he
wound up with the Suns.
IT上季場均20.3分、6.3助攻，但看來國王認為這樣還不夠
好，於是在簽下Collison後讓IT加入了太陽
我確定IT認為他在太陽被需要，但這應該不是他選擇太陽
的唯一原因。
I believe Sacramento will regret treating Thomas this way, and he’ll
obviously use this as motivation.
Not that he needs anymore.
At just 5-foot-9, Thomas was drafted with the final pick of the 2011 NBA
draft. He had to claw just to make the NBA after being selected, let alone
stick in the league.
He’s had many doubters along the way – including, apparently, the team that
gave him his first NBA opportunity.
我相信國王將會為他們如此對待IT感到後悔，同時IT也將
視此為他向上的動力。只有5呎9吋的IT在11年選秀的末段
才被選上，為了在NBA生存，他必須不斷的掙扎。在他奮鬥
的路上還有很多質疑者，包括那個最開始給了他NBA努力
機會的球隊。
短評：
所以Isaiah Thomas到底是什麼時候說過了
「I felt very disrespected’ by Kings?」
翻到一半有點後悔
