Derrick Favors
Jazz | Forward | Last year: 79
Grizzlies guard Mike Conley has been the NBA’s reigning “most underrated”
player for two or three years now, a length of time that really should
invalidate the title. So let’s nominate a new candidate: Derrick Favors. The
Jazz big man fits this bill precisely for so many reasons. He plays in Utah,
he’s a member of a young team that hasn’t turned the corner (but soon
will), his teammates Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert hog the spotlight, his
rise has been steady not meteoric, and he gets lost in the shuffle in a
Western Conference that is stacked with future Hall of Famers and perennial
All-Stars at his position.
Mike Conley過去兩三年被稱為最被低估的球員，現在不是了。讓我們來提名新的人選：
Derrick Favors。下列原因使這個爵士長人完全符合這個條件，他在猶他打球，他在一隻
還沒打出身價的球隊(很快了)，他的隊友黑蛙、Gobert佔走了焦點，他的成長穩定而不
瞬間爆發，他在西區(他的位置充滿未來的全明星、名人堂)。
Those are all the reasons no one ever talks about Favors. Here are the
reasons they should. Favors, 24, was one of just nine players to average 16/8
last season; he was the second-youngest member of that group, behind Anthony
Davis, and seven of his fellow members have been All-Stars during their
careers. Thanks to his productivity, efficient shooting, and strong two-way
play, Favors is the rare under-25 player who aces every major advanced stat,
ranking 14th overall in PER among minutes-qualified players, 25th in Win
Shares, 37th in Real Plus-Minus and 31st in WARP. Favors is a plus player on
both sides: Utah’s offensive rating was 4.6 points better with him on the
court last season and Utah’s defensive rating was 6.2 points better with
Favors once a midseason trade freed him from the burden of Enes Kanter.
Favors is big, strong and his presence is felt: he commands attention on the
block on the offensive end with a workmanlike offensive repertoire and he is
a strong post defender who blocks his share of shots and can live on an
island without panicking. Favors is reliable and improving: he’s never
missed more than 10 games in a season, which stands as a nice feather in the
cap for a young big playing rotation minutes, and he’s upped his per-game
output each year for five straight seasons, even though Utah has undergone
significant roster turnover and multiple coaching changes during that time.
上述是為什麼從來沒有人提過Favors，接下來是為什麼該提到他：24歲的Favors是上季
九個能場均16分8籃板的球員之一，而且他是九個中第二年輕的，輸給Anthony Davis。
而且有七個在生涯中入選過全明星。因為他的多產、有效率的得分，還有攻守俱佳，
Favors是少數低於25歲能在每個進階數據都有很好的表現的。(Per:14th, Win Shares:
25th, RPM: 37th, WARP: 31st)。Favors在攻守兩端都有正值的表現，攻擊端他在場上，
每百次進攻能多得4.6分，防守端在把Kanter交易掉後，他在場上能為球隊多守下6.2分
。他是一個又高又強的存在。攻擊端，他在禁區能做盡自己的工作。他是一個好的低位
防守者，能對手的火鍋，也能獨立作戰。Favors是值得信賴也持續在進步，他每一季都
不會缺席超過10場。在球隊一直改變陣容和教練時，他場均的表現這五年卻是持續上升。
It’s probably best not to hold your breath waiting for a national awakening
about Favors. Even if coach Quin Snyder is able to strike the right balance
and the Jazz qualify for the playoffs, Hayward (a legit All-Star candidate
who is by far the team’s best all-around offensive player) and Gobert (a
strong Defensive Player of the Year and All-Defensive candidate) are sure to
garner most of the praise. That’s fine and totally understandable, just don’
t completely forget about the third member of Utah’s rising triumvirate. –
B.G.
不用太期待他會成為明星，即使教練能帶球隊進季後賽，球隊中攻擊最強的又是全明星
候選人的黑蛙和DPOY候選人的Gobert會占走太多光芒。但只是不要忘了這個爵士的第三把
交椅。

No.36
Tyson Chandler
Suns | Center | Last year: 39
Phoenix pursued Chandler this summer in part because, as GM Ryan McDonough
tells it, the Suns had heard through the grapevine that then-free agent
LaMarcus Aldridge had always wanted to play with him. And why wouldn’t he?
Chandler is the kind of teammate any competitor would love: fiery, relentless
and deeply disciplined. The worst that can be said of Chandler is his play
sometimes teeters with nagging injury. Playing the way Chandler does brings
its share of strains and tweaks, the sum of which can tax a terrific two-way
center to lesser form.
太陽今夏把Chandler找來，為的是聽說AGG想跟他打球。而且何不找他呢?泰山的個性受到
所有隊友的喜愛：熱情、不屈不撓、有好的教養。最差的就是它容易受小傷影響。跟他打
球帶給他壓力，可能會影響到這個攻守俱佳的中鋒。
Otherwise, Chandler’s team is guaranteed a player very comfortable and quite
effective within the role he’s asked to play. Defense remains his calling
card. Any coach in the league could find comfort in the notion of Chandler
commanding the back line of the defense. His help will be punctual and
informed by the scouting report. His post defense will be physical and
irksome. Chandler will be quick off the ground to challenge any shot in his
vicinity and still rank among the best rebounders in the league (last season
he finished sixth in offensive and defensive rebounding rate).
否則，Chandler在任何球隊要求的位置上都能繳出大量且有效率的成績。防守是他的強項
，任何教練都可以放心讓Chandler去顧好防守。他的效能能在他的球探報告中被證實。他
的低位防守總是讓人覺得討厭，他能夠快速地去防守任何接近他的投籃，又能夠保持
高籃板數(去年進攻籃板率與防守籃板率都是聯盟第六)。
And somehow Chandler might be even better on offense. Scoring itself has
never been Chandler’s forté. Where his presence pays off is in its gravity—
the effect that Chandler has when rolling down the middle of the lane or
lurking on the baseline. Those who stray from him risk a lob to one of the NBA
’s best finishers, often at an angle no other defender could disrupt. Any
other option would involve bailing on defensive principles when they ought be
in effect. Chandler knows just where to be to force defenders into difficult
decisions on a second-by-second basis. In doing so, he stretches the value of
his dunks and athleticism to their absolute limit. – R.M.
然而他的攻擊端可能更好，得分不是他的長處，但是他在場上能空切到油漆區或潛伏在
底線。透過吊高給身為聯盟頂級的穩定得分手，沒有其他的防守者能阻擋他。想阻止他的
方法只能破壞一般防守的佈陣。Chandler知道如何讓對方防守者陷入難以抉擇的情況。
這樣子讓他可以運用對方的限制將他灌籃和體能的價值發揮到最大。

No.35
Andre Drummond
Pistons | Center | Last year: 37
For three seasons, the hype and anticipation surrounding Pistons center Andre
Drummond has exceeded the results. The 6’10” Drummond, who just turned 22
in August, has the size, strength and athletic tools to be a franchise
center. But, as tends to happen with young big men, his development has been
full of starts and stops.
這三季，對抓猛的期待與炒作超出了他的結果。6'10的抓猛今年22歲，透過他的身高、體
格幫助他成為一個成熟的中鋒。但是它的發展也跟著停滯了。
While he’s established himself as the league’s premier offensive rebounder
and posted impressive block rates, he’s also struggled to finish
consistently in the paint, he’s led the league twice in personal fouls, he’
s compiled such a horrific free-throw shooting percentage that he makes
Dwight Howard look like John Stockton, and he’s still a ways from mastering
the finer points of life as a back-line defender. Predictably, there have
been consistency issues too: there’s the Drummond who posted two 20/20 games
in 2014–15, joining DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan as the only players
to accomplish the feat multiple times, and then there’s the Drummond who,
too often, couldn’t seem to buy a basket.
雖然他是聯盟中頂級的進攻籃板守和能繳出漂亮的低位火鍋成績，他受到限制的是:禁區
得分的穩定度，比聯盟平均多兩倍的個人犯規，罰球命中率爛到跟DH比，感覺DH就像是
Stockton一樣。但是他還是有一些穩定的能力：在去年他繳出了兩場20/20的比賽，只有
表弟和DAJ也能做到，然而抓猛卻常常得不了分。
Slowly but surely, Pistons president/coach Stan Van Gundy has reshaped a
flawed roster to better suit Drummond, ditching space-killing big men Greg
Monroe and Josh Smith, adding a pick-and-roll point guard in Reggie Jackson,
and upgrading his perimeter options in hopes of mimicking the Howard-centric
roster he fielded during his days coaching the Magic. These are all fantastic
developments for Drummond, who should see an uptick in his minutes, touches,
responsibilities and comfort factor next season. – B.G.
慢慢但是確實的，活塞教練正在為抓猛調整球隊陣容。處理掉了會限縮空間的Monroe和
Josh Smith，加入了能擋拆的控衛Reggie Jackson。希望能像當初執教魔術一樣，仿效
為DH建隊的方法提高他的外圍的機會。我們可以在這季看到這些吸引人的改變成為有效
的因子。
