Kyle Lowry
Raptors | Guard | Last year: 30
Much like his Raptors, which charged out of the gate at a franchise
record-setting rate, Kyle Lowry absolutely burst out of the block in 2014–
15. And, much like the Raptors, which fell flat on their faces in the
playoffs, Lowry just wasn’t able to sustain his early success. The splits
are pretty startling. Before the All-Star break, Lowry averaged 18.6 points
and 7.2 assists with a 53.4% True Shooting Percentage. After the All-Star
break, as he battled a back injury and the toll of heavy minutes and huge
usage, Lowry’s numbers dipped to 15.1 points and 5.4 assists, and his True
Shooting Percentage fell to 50.3%. By the time the playoffs rolled around,
the All-Star starter and one-time All-NBA candidate looked like he could
barely move.
就像是看似要創紀錄般的暴龍隊，Kyle Lowry在2014年球季大爆發。但也像暴龍在季後賽
丟臉的被橫掃一樣，Lowry沒辦法維持他球季前半段的成功。他的差異非常明顯，在明星賽
前，Lowry場均18.6分7.2助攻，並有著53.4的TS率。明星賽後，他跟他的背傷奮鬥，加上
高出場時間和使用率，他的場均只剩下15.1分5.4助攻，TS也掉到50.3%。在季後賽的時候
，這個全明星先發和全NBA隊的候選人打得像是他不會打球一樣。
Was this drastic turn of events a case of karma striking back at the Raptors
for their shameless, overbearing “Hashtag NBA Ballot” All-Star voting
campaign on Lowry’s behalf? Probably not, but the franchise should really
consider a little restraint in 2016 now that Lowry has been there and done
that. Jokes aside, Lowry appears to be flipping his second-half slide into
serious off-season motivation. If Instagram is to be believed, the
wide-framed, 6’0” point guard will return for 2015–16 in a leaner, meaner
package. That’s a scary thought for opponents, given how relentless and
commanding he was through 50-ish games last season.
會是因為Hashtag NBA Ballot事件成為暴龍的報應嗎?一定不是，但球隊2016年該要考慮
克制一下
說笑之餘，Lowry 用自己去年下半季的失速來激勵自己在休賽季好好鍛鍊。如果IG可以相
信的話，這個矮壯型6尺控衛將在2015年變得更精壯、更難纏。這對對手而言是很可怕的，
他上一季的50場比賽已經展示了這點。
A busy summer for GM Masai Ujiri saw the addition of DeMarre Carroll, a
veteran 3-and-D forward, two new back-ups for Lowry, Cory Joseph and rookie
Delon Wright, and a lucrative extension for center Jonas Valanciunas.
Although Toronto’s roster overhaul seemed primarily focused on improving its
perimeter defense, the newcomers may help alleviate some portion of the
strain that ultimately overwhelmed Lowry last year. As the Raptors’ top
talent and primary creator, Lowry, 29, must enter the 2016 postseason at
closer to full strength if Toronto wants to advance out of the first round
for just the second time in franchise history. He’s proven that he can
captain a top-notch offense and make the All-Star Game. Now, he needs to
prove he can properly manage what could be, in an ideal world, a 100-game
season. – B.G.
對總管Masai Ujiri來說這一個很忙的夏天，補進了3D球員Carroll，兩個Lowry的備案
Cory Joseph和新人Delon Wright，還有與Valanciunas簽了一份有利的合約。
雖然暴龍的補強看起來是著重於中距離的防守，但新來的人可以稍微分擔一下Lowry的
的使用率。這個暴龍的最有天賦的得分創造者，29歲的Lowry如果想要讓暴龍突破第一輪
需要讓他的能力可以保持到2016季後賽。他已經證明他能領導頂級的攻擊，並進入明星隊
。現在他要證明他能好好地在100場比賽中控制好場面。

No.33
Eric Bledsoe
Suns | Guard | Last year: 33
Eric Bledsoe is a point guard, unless you’d rather him be a shooting guard.
A shot creator, unless you’d prefer that he be a cutter. A counter to
opposing ballhandlers, unless he’s needed to lock and trail elsewhere. That
elasticity is rooted in truly remarkable athleticism. A 6’1” guard shouldn’
t be able to bend between positions and responsibilities so easily as Bledsoe
does, yet in the case of a miniature bulldozer who moves like a blur, most
traditional rules seem not to apply.
Bledsoe是一名控衛，除非你希望它是一個得分後衛。他能創造投籃機會，除非你要他切
入。他可以換防對方持球者，除非你要他鎖定並緊迫盯人。這些能力都來自於令人深刻
的體能。一般的6'1後衛沒辦法輕易切換攻守兩端不同的位置，但對布雷獸則不然。對於
移動飛快的小推土機而言，傳統理論並不適用。
There might not be a point guard in the league who can match Bledsoe
physically. His advantage is most evident on defense, given that getting a
step on the 25-year-old guard takes a full possession’s work and powering
through him is all but impossible. Bledsoe has the strength required to fight
through screens in any top defensive assignment and the speed to close the
gap that follows. There’s no shedding him once he’s locked in.
聯盟中，沒有一個控衛能像Bledsoe體能那麼勁爆。他的優勢展現在防守上，這個25歲的
後衛在他的位置盡全力去做好防守，想要強力突破他是不可能的。Bledsoe有那個體格來
突破掩護來做好最頂級的防守，他只要一鎖定對手就不可能讓他有空檔。
Based on total defensive impact (individual matchup, disruption of an opponent
’s progress, control of the passing lanes, help responsibilities,
rebounding, etc.), Bledsoe ranks as one of the top guards in the league. His
offense is also oddly understated for a lightning-quick guard putting up some
impressive numbers. Only 16 players in the league matched Bledsoe’s scoring
output (17 points per game) at the same true shooting (55.5%) or better last
season. Every guard among them (Harden, Curry, Irving, Lillard, Paul) except
Bledsoe was an All-Star. – R.M.
基於他防守的效應(一對一防守、干擾對手、干擾傳球路線、協助貢獻如籃板)，Bledsoe
被排在聯盟頂級後衛之一。他的攻擊利用奇妙地沒有被強調的高速來繳出令人印象深刻的
成績。只有16個人能在True Shooting(55.5%)以上的情況下繳出場均17分。所有能做到的
後衛(Harden, Curry,Irving, Lillard, Paul)除了Bledsoe以外都是全明星。

No.32
Paul Millsap
Hawks | Forward | Last year: 34
Compared to his fellow All-Stars, Hawks forward Paul Millsap isn’t the
biggest, the fastest or the strongest, and his no-nonsense style doesn’t
inspire adulation worthy of the leading scorer on a 60-win team.
Nevertheless, Millsap excels at making basketball look easy in so many
different ways. The former second-round pick fits like a glove in Mike
Budenholzer’s pass-heavy, spread-oriented offense, and his inside/outside
versatility is the key that unlocks Atlanta’s pick-your-poison offense.
跟其他明星相比，老鷹的前鋒米爺不是最大的、最快的、最強壯的，他的務實技術不會讓
其他人認為他是一個在贏60場比賽的球隊中的第一得分手。但是他籃球可以打得好像很簡
單。在Budenholzer的注意傳導、分散式進攻下這個第二輪的球員就像是量身訂做一樣。
他的裡外的多變性是幫助球隊攻擊的關鍵。
Millsap, 30, made his name in Utah as a durable, if undersized, power forward
with a high motor and the ability to score in the paint. Since arriving in
Atlanta in one of the best signings of 2013, Millsap has not only added a
credible three-point shot to his arsenal but he’s also hit new high-water
marks in assists. With the Hawks, Millsap is encouraged to roam: he might
grab a defensive rebound and push the tempo himself, he might slide from the
block to the perimeter (or vice versa) as a play develops, and he is a
triple-threat when isolated in space, as he can attack hard to the hoop, get
to a preferred spot for a jumper, or play the drive-and-kick game with Atlanta
’s shooters. Defensively, Millsap’s game is similarly well-rounded: he can
defend multiple positions with the strength to handle fours and the quickness
to switch onto wings, he can handle the front or back of the pick-and-roll,
and he forces more than his share of turnovers with good hands and instincts.
30歲的米爺雖然是undersized，但是身為前鋒的他有著強大的動力和能在禁區得分的能力
，讓他以耐用在爵士隊成名。當他以2013其中一筆最好的合約來到老鷹，他不只將三分納
入他的"兵工廠"，他的助攻也令人印象深刻。他被鼓勵漫遊式的攻擊：他可以抓防守籃板
打出自己的節奏，他為了戰術可以從禁區跑到中距離(反之亦然)，他在單打的時候能有好
的三重威脅，他能在包圍的時候攻擊，並找到好的位置跳投，他也可以跟射手切傳。
防守端，他的防守可以說接近面面具到：他能夠防守多個位置，透過他的體格去防守四號
位，並快速的切換到搖擺人。他也能防守P&R的持球者和掩護者，他也能利用他的快手和
直覺來迫使對方失誤。
The breadth of Millsap’s contributions and his lack of major holes helped
Atlanta finish as the league’s No. 6 offense and No. 7 defense, and they
made him a favorite of the major advanced stats. Last season, he graded out
well in PER (36th), Win Shares (26th) Real Plus-Minus (14th) and WARP (19th),
even though Atlanta’s commitment to the team concept tends to curb his
individual numbers and Budenholzer actively limited Millsap’s playing time.
After helping lead the Hawks to their first Eastern Conference finals
appearance, Millsap was rewarded with the biggest payday of his career: a
three-year, $59 million contract that roughly doubled his salary and made him
Atlanta’s highest-paid player. He’s worth every penny. – B.G.
他的多樣的貢獻和沒有大缺點使他幫助老鷹攻擊排第六、防守排第七，並且他自己的進階
數據也非常好。上一季，即使老鷹的團隊抑制的他的個人成績，還有Budenholzer限制的
米爺的上場時間，他還是繳出了PER(36th)、WS(26th)、RPM(14th)、WARP(19th)。在幫助
球隊打進第一次東冠，他得到了一份大約：三年5900萬，大概是上一分的兩倍，也讓他成
為老鷹的最高薪，他確實值得這些。
2014-15: 16.7 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.8 SPG, 47.6 FG%, 35.6 3P%

心得：因為沒有關注暴龍，翻了才知道原來Lowry明星賽前後差這麼多
