No.97
Nerlens Noel
76ers | Forward | Last year: —
Over the course of his rookie season, Noel evolved from an empty void of an
offensive player to an occasionally helpful one. That shift was enough to let
the now 21-year-old’s strengths on defense shine through to top 100 standing.
Very rarely do rookies actually help their teams on defense, an area of the
game where the only means of consistent success is earned acumen. Noel stands
as an exception. Despite his age and inexperience, Noel averaged better than
two steals and two blocks per 36 minutes while terrorizing opponents from the
three-point line in. Rim protectors have no business being this quick on their
feet. That Noel defies the standard allows him to reject shots with lightning-
bolt fury and dart outside to repel guards as needed. – R.M.
作為Noel的第一個菜鳥球季，從毫無貢獻到現在的改變足以讓他這個21歲的新人以防守進
到前百名，以防守見長的在新人中是十分罕見的。扣除掉他的年紀和不足的經驗，場均兩
次抄截和兩次火鍋(Per36)對三分線的對手有著相當大的威脅。一般禁區球員速度是不快的
，然而Noel卻能如閃電般去威脅到外圍的後衛。
短評: 看他的文字敘述，怎麼覺得好像KG年輕時候

No.96
Josh Smith
Clippers | Forward | Last year: 53
A certain amount of noise tends to follow Smith wherever he goes with most of
it snark and sneering in regard to his obvious shortcomings. Smith will take
certain shots he shouldn’t and throw passes out of bounds as if he were
meeting some kind of turnover quota. Yet on balance he’s still the kind of
player who made a good Rockets defense far better while diversifying Houston’s
offense with his playmaking, finishing ability, and streaky shooting from
beyond the arc (34.5% as a Rocket between the regular season and playoffs).
There’s more than enough game here—punctuated by 16.1 points, 8.3 rebounds,
4.3 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.8 blocks per 36 minutes—to warrant working
through the headaches that Smith might induce. – R.M.
這季伴隨著Smith都關於他的缺點，不對的出手時機、不該出現的失誤。在攻擊端，他的組
織進攻、快攻能力，還有在弧頂的命中率都無法做出貢獻。相對的，他的防守還是能幫助
到球隊。但其實如果願意給他更多時間、場次，他是能搞定這些問題的。
(PER36: 16.1分 8.3籃板 4.3助攻 1.4抄截 1.8火鍋)
2014-15: 12.4 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 3.3 APG, 1.4 BPG, 41.9 FG%
Advanced: 14.9 PER, Win Shares: 2.3, -0.45 RPM
No.95
Roy Hibbert
Lakers | Center | Last year: 52
What’s more damning: That the Pacers posted a better defensive rating in
2014–15 without Roy Hibbert (100.7) than with him (101.1), or that they traded
the two-time All-Star center to the Lakers this summer for the NBA equivalent
of zilch (a future second-round pick)? Neither fact reflects kindly on Hibbert
, the former Defensive Player of the Year contender who played an integral role
on Indiana’s back-to-back trips to the Eastern Conference finals in 2013 and
2014, but who has also dealt with confidence issues and inconsistency
throughout his seven-year career.
印象中他是防守見長的，然而在2014-2015球季，他在的時候(101.1)卻比他缺陣(100.7)的
時候，團隊失分更多。這就是為什麼他被交易到湖人，而且只換來一個未來二輪。這個
DPOY競爭者在2013-2014球季雖然扮演的重要地角色，但是他還是需要花時間處理他的不穩
定及缺乏自信
Pacers president Larry Bird ultimately concluded this summer that Hibbert’s
signature rim-protection wasn’t enough to overcome his extremely limited
offensive game, his no-show nights on the glass, his lack of agility and
versatility, and his sometimes perplexing personality. The sexy small-ball
revolution only looks like more salt in the wounds for this 7’2’’ behemoth.
As he enters a contract year in L.A., Hibbert won’t only be fending off
Kobe Bryant’s constant glares and working through his own mental baggage,
he’ll also be fighting to prove that traditional big men aren’t quite ready
to cede the floor to undersized, multi-positional talents.
In a best-case scenario, Hibbert rebuilds his market value by resurrecting a
pathetic Lakers defense that has (almost) nowhere to go but up after ranking
No. 29 last year. Indeed, if the Lakers make any meaningful progress protecting
the paint, he should be the first in line—and perhaps the only one in line—
to get the credit, and another rich contract will likely be waiting come July.
In a (more likely) worst-case scenario, Hibbert’s own physical limitations
and matchup problems, the total lack of credible defensive players around
him, and the questionable stewardship of Byron Scott combine to turn Hibbert
into a gigantic punching bag during another dreadful campaign. This same
organization just chewed up and spit out Dwight Howard, so there’s plenty of
reason to doubt that the less-gifted Hibbert will thrive under the scrutiny.

大鳥在今夏判斷他保護籃框的表現不足以掩蓋他攻擊的上的問題。身為7'2的長人，他缺乏
靈敏，又怪異的性格只會傷害球隊。因此轉戰Lakers的他需要好好的處理這塊來避免被
kobe盯上，另外他也需要好好來證明他能做到不僅限於傳統長人，而是能做到更多位置。
他需要好好找回市場的價值，最好的情況就是他在缺乏長人的湖人中，當球隊需要有人來
好好防守油漆區時，他能做出正確的貢獻，並為他謀取下一張大約。
最差的情況，受限於他的特質，無法在防守端做出貢獻，Byron Scott也不知道怎麼運用
變成像當初DH一樣。

No.94
Reggie Jackson
Pistons | Guard | Last year: —
Including Reggie Jackson on this list is, admittedly, a speculative decision.
Detroit’s new $80 million point guard has posted a decidedly mediocre track
record during his four-year career, spent largely as Russell Westbrook’s
backup, and the Thunder seemed to lose little sleep in trading him to the
Pistons at the deadline. Finding something that Jackson, 25, has mastered
requires real straining: he’s not an efficient outside shooter, he’s not an
above-average finisher in the basket area, he’s not a standout when it comes
to drawing fouls, he’s not a plus defender, and he’s not the world’s most
natural playmaker for others.
把RJ放在這個名單中是一個值得深思的抉擇，在活塞領8千萬的他過去是擔任西河的替補。
25歲的他：
1.不是個好的外圍射手
2.沒有平均之上的快攻能力
3.在製造防守者犯規能力不突出
4.不是個好的防守者
5.稱不上頂級的組織進攻
So why did Stan Van Gundy hitch his wagon to Jackson, emptying the bank vault
in the process? Because he needs a pick-and-roll point guard to initiate his
spread offense and get the most out of franchise center Andre Drummond.
Jackson looked up to those tasks in averaging 17.6 points and 9.2 assists
after the trade. Detroit posted a strong 106.9 offensive rating with Jackson
on the court, and the Jackson/Drummond pairing posted a +4.4 net rating in
nearly 700 minutes together, albeit in mostly meaningless games down the
stretch of a lottery-bound season. If a revamped Pistons roster can build on
those narrow successes and push into the 2016 playoff chase, Jackson’s
middling reputation should be in line for a boost. – B.G.
那為什麼Stan Van Gundy還是把他找來呢?因為他需要一個P&R的控衛來展開進攻
，才能幫助抓猛發揮。交易後他繳出17.6分9.2助攻，他在場上，活塞會得到106.9分，
他與抓猛配合的700多分鐘時，有+4.4的表現(雖然這多半是在無意義的比賽中)，因為
已經進樂透區了。如果今年活塞能進季後賽，RJ的表現絕對是重點。

心得：上色好難喔~
