Rockets GM Daryl Morey speaks on what everyone thought about Jeremy Lin
before breakout
火箭總管Daryl Morey講到在林書豪大爆發前大家對他的看法
The Houston Rockets and general manager Daryl Morey already had a good idea
of what Jeremy Lin was capable of before the 2010 NBA draft.
在2010的NBA選秀前，火箭總管Daryl Morey其實就已經很瞭解林書豪的能力。
Morey opened up about their scouting report on Lin on Michael Lewis’ 2016
book titled “The Undoing Project.” On the book, Morey claimed their model
told them that Lin belongs in the top 15 of the draft. However, during this
time, Morey still didn’t trust their model completely and passed on him, via
Reddit.
在作家Michael Lewis 2016年出版的書"The Undoing Project"裡面，Morey講到火箭那時
候有關林書豪的球探報告。在那本書中提到，Morey聲稱按照他們的模型判斷，林書豪選秀
應該要在前15順位。然而，在那段時間，Morey仍舊沒有完全相信他們的模型，所以並沒有
選林書豪。
“He lit up our model,” said Morey. “Our model said take him with, like,
the 15th pick in the draft.”
「他的名字出現在我們的模型裡，」Morey說。「我們的模型判斷說，我們應該像是要用第
15順位選他。」
Lin went undrafted in 2010 and spent the 2010-11 season as a fringe player
for the Golden State Warriors.
結果2010年選秀林書豪沒有被任何球隊選上，而在2010-11球季林書豪是到了勇士。
A year later after passing on Lin, the Rockets began measuring the first two
steps of basketball players. The result: Lin’s first step was faster than
any other basketball player measured. Morey wrestled with the thought on why
they passed on Lin.
而在那一年之後，火箭開始去評估NBA球員的起步時的最初兩步的速度。結果發現林書豪的
速度比其他火箭所測量到的球員都要快。Morey很努力的想要找出是怎樣的想法會不選林書
豪。
“He’s incredibly athletic,” said Morey. “But the reality is that every
fucking person, including me, thought he was unathletic. And I can’t think
of any reason for it other than he was Asian.”
「他的體能是不可思議的，」Morey說。「但是實際上，他X的每個人，也包括我，都認為
他體能不行。除了他是亞洲人外，我想不到其他的原因為何會這樣想了。」
The Rockets, however, would eventually get Lin from 2012 to 2014. This was
after the Harvard graduate jumped from team to team — both in the G League
and in the NBA, and right after the Linsanity phenomenon with the New York
Knicks. During his time with the Knickerbockers, Lin did display his athletic
prowess and lightning-quick first step.
然而，林書豪在2012-2014還是到了火箭打球。那是在林書豪哈佛畢業後，還在NBA球隊裡
