Jonas Valanciunas
Raptors | Center | Last year: 80
The size of Jonas Valanciunas’s new deal (four years, $64 million) suggests
that the Raptors view the 23-year-old as a key long-term building block,
while its timing hints that GM Masai Ujiri wanted to preemptively strike
against the possibility of a max offer sheet next summer.
從他Valanciunas的新約(4年6400萬)可以看出暴龍將這個23歲的球員視為長期的建隊基石
。GM Masai Ujiri應該是在避免明年變成頂薪。
Despite starting since he entered the NBA in 2012, Valanciunas averaged a
modest 26.2 minutes last season. With Amir Johnson gone to Boston in free
agency, Valanciunas should see a big bump in his playing time and
responsibility, as coach Dwane Casey will need to lean more heavily upon him
late in games. Last season, in part due to a 105.6 defensive rating that was
the worst mark among Toronto’s rotation big men, Valanciunas regularly watched
the crunchtime action unfold from the sideline.
雖然在2012進聯盟之後便開始先發，去年場均卻只有26.2分鐘的上場。在Amir Johnson去
賽爾提克後他的上場時間應該會大幅上升，他也會被教練Casey交代更多任務。因為防守是
球隊大個子中最差的(105.6)，在關鍵時間總是坐板凳。
Valanciunas’s offensive abilities far surpass his defensive abilities.
Blessed with good scoring instincts, soft hands, quality touch, and an array
of pump fakes, Valanciunas is an efficient, talented low-post scorer whose
size and strength cause problems for undersized defenders. Given his per-36
numbers during his age-22 season—16.5 points and 11.9 rebounds—it’s
reasonable to assert that Valanciunas has All-Star potential, and his two
postseason trips set him apart from a number of other up-and-coming Eastern
Conference big men (Nikola Vucevic, Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, Hassan
Whiteside). To take the next step on offense, Valanciunas needs more touches,
and he must find a way to strike a balance with Toronto’s high-usage guards.
Defensively, he needs to work on his lateral quickness, and he must continue
to improve as a backline helper. Now that the path has been cleared and his
financial future has been secured, don’t be surprised if Valanciunas
delivers a long-anticipated breakout campaign in 2015–16. TNT’s Charles
Barkley will learn to pronounce his name soon enough. – B.G.
他的攻擊能力遠遠好過他的防守。好的投球敏銳、柔軟的手段、好的手感、善用假動作。
Valanciunas是一個高效率的運用身材造成對手防守困難的低位好手。Per36:16.5分、11.9
籃板。這些足以說明他有全明星的潛力。兩次的季後賽也使他與其他聯盟蓄勢待發的新人
有所不同(Nikola Vucevic, 抓猛, 孟羅, 白邊)。
下一步，他需要找到如何跟控衛合作的方法。他也需要鍛鍊他的橫移的速度。現在已經把
發展的機會給了他，也開了高薪鎖住他，如果他有明顯的進步也不用太驚訝。
TNT 的 Charles Barkley很快就要去學他的名字怎麼發音了

Andrew Bogut
Warriors | Center | Last year: 65
Golden State won the NBA Finals on the strength of its small ball but won 67
games and made it through the Western Conference playoffs because of Andrew
Bogut. His willingness to play whatever role the team needed allowed the
Warriors work any necessary angle. Bogut started at center and played roughly
half of every game he suited up for. Then, when the situation called for it,
Bogut retired to the bench to allow the Warriors a different look. The result
was a hyper-dynamic team even by championship standards. Few teams in the
league—two or three at most—could claim to have a rim protector as effective
as Bogut. Fewer still could control his minutes and role as Golden State did,
maximizing the potency of all involved.
去年勇士奪冠靠的是小球，但是贏了67場季賽並能進季後賽卻是因為Bogut，他願意扮演任
何角色幫助勇士適時改變。Bogut幾乎都是以中鋒出發，並約一半的時間都是打中鋒。
但當需求來的時候，他會退到板凳，讓勇士改變球風。這樣多變的球隊是奪冠的基礎。
很少球隊(2、3隊最多)能說他有一個像bogut一樣能保護籃框的人，更少人能像勇士去控制
他的時間，讓大家潛能發揮。
It’s a perfect marriage. Another organization might push Bogut too far,
physically, or fail to properly utilize his playmaking ability on offense.
As it stands, Bogut is limited enough as a scorer to make him burdensome in
particular circumstances. Were a lesser team to suffer those consequences and
make less optimal use of Bogut as a passer (he averaged 4.1 assists per 36
minutes with the Warriors), his interior defense might not be as substantial
of a net positive. Golden State struck a healthier balance and in doing so,
illustrated how valuable Bogut can still be in a league gravitating toward
speed and space. – R.M.
這是一個完美的組合，其他隊可能會在體能上過度的消耗Bogut，
或者無法在進攻中好好的發揮他的組織能力。
以現在而言，Bogut得分的能力在某些狀況下可能會讓他成為一個負擔。
如果Bogut是在一支處境比較艱困、無法將Bogut的傳導能力(在勇士隊中
pe36 4.1次助攻)運用到最佳的球隊中出賽，他優秀的內線防守能力
對球隊的加分可能得要因為貧弱的進攻打上點折扣。
金州勇士隊在這個關係上取得了一個非常穩健的平衡點，
而在此同時也顯示出Bogut這樣的球員，
在整個聯盟朝向快節奏以及小球打法的趨勢下，
依然擁有存在的價值。
