Isaiah Collier | 6-4 guard | freshman | USC | No. 1
Collier is the name most scouts and executives provide when I ask who they
have at No. 1 right now. I think I agree with that assessment for now due to
his upside, but I also want to see tangible growth throughout the season.
Collier是Vecenie最常從各個管理層人員與球探中得到現階段的第一名。我(Vecenie)同意
他現有的評價是來源於他的上限，但我也想要在這季看到他明確的成長。
First though, the good. Collier’s intersection of quickness and strength
allows him to play in the paint with ease. Once he gets to the rim, he’s
able to not just absorb contact, but oftentimes rise up through it to finish
with strength at the rim. He’s a power guard, typically attempting to go
through defenders at the rim. It’d be wrong to call him an elite leaper, but
he uses his strength and length well functionally. Yet it doesn’t (always)
feel like he’s just bullying smaller players, because he can pass and make
plays for his teammates even if they don’t always finish. In USC’s recent
loss to Gonzaga, I counted 16 potential Collier assists, with the Trojans
only converting six of them. Many of those looks were
high-degree-of-difficulty kick-outs or dump-offs from a live dribble. Collier
is averaging 17.3 points, 4.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds, making him one of the
most productive freshmen in the country, and I expect the assist number to
rise as USC hits conference play, as he’s been snake-bitten by teammates
missing shots. On top of that, Collier’s jumper from distance has looked
better this season, as he’s made 40 percent of his 3s to this point.
第一段先講優點。Collier速度與力量的結合容許他能輕鬆在禁區打球。只要他能接近籃框
，他不只能吸收衝擊還能常常用他的力量完成終結。他是個強力後衛並時常在籃下解決防
守者。他可能不是最菁英的跳跳人，但他能很好的運用他的力量與長度。而且他不僅僅是
一直霸凌比他更小隻的對手而已因為他即使不能終結仍可以傳球為隊友創造機會。在南加
大輸給Gonzaga的比賽中，我算到Collier總共有16個潛在助攻，而特洛伊人卻只能轉換出
其中的6個。很多看起來都是高難度的球轉傳出來或是運球中給球。Collier目前場均17.3
分4.5助攻3.0籃板並讓他成為全國產能最高的新鮮人隻一，而我期望他的助攻數字能隨著
南加大進行賽區內的比賽時升高因為他現階段很多都被隊友投不進而吃掉了。Collier的長
距離跳投這季也看起來更好了，他現在有40%的三分球命中率。
But there are significant concerns, both in how Collier is being used and in
his own performance. Let’s start with the latter. Collier is a chronic
over-penetrator, constantly so deep into the lane that he leaves himself no
options when the defense collapses on him. That leads to a lot of wasted
possessions, which is why he is averaging a robust 4.6 turnovers per game –
a ludicrous number that will need to come down if he’s to justify going No.
1. His ball security has improved in the last two games, as he only turned
the ball over five times combined against Eastern Washington and Gonzaga. But
he desperately needs to improve his patience as a driver and be willing to
hang out in the midrange for a beat longer.
但Collier仍有顯著的疑慮，無論是Collier的使用方式還是他本身的表現。先從後者說起
。Collier是個常常過度深切的人，他經常會切得太深並限縮他自己的選項陷入包夾。這讓
他浪費了不少球權，這也是他場均4.6失誤的因素
