Myles Turner on Pacers' trade shakeup rumors: 'I'm not valued as anything
more than a glorified role player'
By James Herbert
Myles Turner has had enough of his low-usage role with the Indiana Pacers. In
an interview with The Athletic's Jared Weiss published Thursday, Turner said
he wants to show what he can do with the ball.
溜馬 Myles Turner 已經受夠了在溜馬的低使用率，
近日他在接受採訪時表明希望得到更多機會來展現自己能夠做到什麼。
"It's clear that I'm not valued as anything more than a glorified role player
here, and I want something more, more opportunity," Turner told The Athletic.
"I'm trying really hard to make the role that I'm given here work and find a
way to maximize it. I've been trying to the past two, three seasons. But it's
clear to me that, just numbers-wise, I'm not valued as more than a rotational
role player, and I hold myself in a higher regard than that."
Turner表示：
「顯然，我在這裡就只是個被美化的角色球員，我想要更多，想要更多機會。
我試著努力扮演好自己的定位並且讓其價值最大化。
過去兩三個賽季裡，我一直在努力。
但顯然對我來說，從數據上看來，我的角色價值並不比輪替球員來得高，
我給自己的評價都比這高。」
"I've been given many roles in the years that I've been here, and I feel like
I've been able to produce at a high level in the roles I've been given,"
Turner said. "I've shown that I can do the things they ask me to do, and I
think it's time to put that all together and be a more prominent night-in,
night-out guy on the offensive side of the ball instead of someone who is
asked to be a floor spacer and hide in the shadows."
「我在球隊這些年被賦予了很多角色，
我覺得我能在自己扮演的角色內發揮出高水準的表現，
我做到了他們要求我去做到的事。
我認為是時候將所有東西放在一起，讓自己在進攻端更加出色，
而不是每晚只在場上負責拉開空間。」
"I've settled for being just a floor spacer who runs up and down and sits in
the corner all game and isn't active because I thought I was doing what was
best at the time," said Turner. "I wasn't looking out for myself and was
looking out for the team. But I realized that looking out for myself in turn
is looking out for the team, so I've flipped my mindset going forward."
「我已經很習慣在場上負責拉開空間，整場比賽跑來跑去，坐在角落裡等著被叫上場。
我認為我當下處理得很好，我沒有先想到自己，反而先替球隊設想。
但我意識到，替自己著想就是替球隊著想，所以我改變了自己的心態。」
