The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft has come and gone, and it was a wild
ride with surprises up and down the board as well as a few trades that no one
saw coming.
I’ll have full draft grades out after the second day of the draft ends
Thursday night. But for now, here are the teams that I thought did
particularly well on Day 1, a couple of teams whose choices I didn’t totally
understand, and two things that I felt were worth commenting on despite
feeling relatively ambivalent about both.
2024年NBA選秀的第一輪結束了，而這一輪很瘋狂充滿了驚喜、起伏與幾個沒人預期的交易
。
我(Vecenie)在第二天結束後才會出完整的選秀評分，這裡是我認為一些第一天做得特別好
的球隊、幾個我無法完全理解的選擇以及2件我雖然感覺矛盾但值得討論的東西。
贏家
Utah Jazz猶他爵士
This is shaping up to be my favorite team draft of the event after Day One.
The Jazz did a remarkable job letting the board come to them after reportedly
being in trade discussions earlier in the day to move up. Instead of giving
up some of their future picks to slide up the board and get the guy they
wanted, they stood pat and let him fall to them. I wouldn’t have put the
odds particularly high that Cody Williams would have fallen to No. 10 when
the day started, but because the Pistons surprised with Ron Holland at No. 5,
the Hornets took Tidjane Salaun at No. 6 ahead of the Spurs, the Spurs moved
out of No. 8 in a deal to Minnesota, and then the Grizzlies took Zach Edey at
No. 9, the Jazz hit essentially a three-outer on the river and ended up with
their guy.
在第一天結束後我最喜歡的球隊便是猶他爵士(心得:我自己也覺得爵士選得最漂亮)。爵士
在稍早被放出他們在討論讓順位上升的情報後，選擇讓選秀順其自然並做得非常出色。他
們沒有放棄一些未來的選秀權來上升順位並拿到他們想要的球員，取而代之的是耐心並等
待他們想要的球員掉下來。在選秀開始時我並不認為Cody Williams會掉到第10順位但在活
塞以第5順位選下Ron Holland、黃鋒以第6順位搶在馬刺之前選下Tidjane Salaun、馬刺交
易走第8順位最後灰熊以第9順位選下Zach Edey之後，爵士在最後一個以低機率的情況拿下
他們想要的球員。
(球員球探報告 略)
Then the Jazz took Isaiah Collier at No. 29. Collier was a polarizing player
for scouts this year. I ended up with him at No. 19. The best flashes of
Collier make one think he could be an All-Star. The bad moments make you
believe he’s more likely to be a backup point guard. Unsurprisingly given
that, there’s a wide range of opinions league-wide on his future.
爵士接下來在第29順位拿下Isaiah Collier。Collier在球探之間的評價兩極。我最終將他
排在了第19。Collier打好的情況是大家覺得他可能成為全明星。打爛的時刻你會覺得他比
較像個替補控球後衛。所以他在聯盟的未來有者很大的差距也不意外了。
But the Jazz could use a bit more power in the backcourt. They’re quite
small and skinny back there, with Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and Jordan
Clarkson getting most of the reps. Those players are, by and large, pull-up
shooters and guys who hit catch-and-shoot jumpers. Collier is a serious
rim-pressure player who will attack and find creases where they sometimes don
’t exist. He’ll hit kickouts and make high-level passing reads. If he can
iron out the turnovers and develop a more consistent shot, this has potential
to be the kind of guard the Jazz needed. Again, this class is all about
informed bets based on your situation. Collier is a great informed bet for
the Jazz.
但爵士隊的後場確實需要更多的力量。他們的後場相對較小且瘦弱，Sexton、George和
Clarkson佔據了大部分的上場時間。這些球員大多數是投籃手，能夠在接球後跳投。
Collier是一個真正的籃下攻擊者，會在看似不存在的縫隙中找到突破口。他能夠傳球給外
圍隊友，做出高水準的傳球判斷。如果他能減少失誤並發展出更穩定的投籃，這將有潛力
成為爵士隊需要的那種控衛。同樣，這屆選秀的選擇都是基於球隊情況下的明智賭注。
Collier對於爵士隊來說是個很好的明智賭注。
In total, the Jazz took serious swings on upside on a roster that desperately
needed such swings. This is a draft that makes sense, and now we’ll find out
what they do at No. 32 on Thursday. This could really be a positive class for
Danny Ainge, Justin Zanik and company if they hit on the right player there.
總的來說，爵士隊在這屆選秀上對充滿潛力的球員進行了大膽選擇，而這支隊伍急需這樣
的選擇。這是一個合理的選秀，現在我們將看看他們在週四第32順位會做什麼。如果他們
能在那裡選中合適的球員，這將是Danny Ainge、Justin Zanik和他們的團隊的一個非常有
建樹的一屆選秀。
Washington Wizards巫師
The Wizards swung multiple big moves today, and it completely altered the
direction of their franchise.
巫師今天做出了數個重大決定，並大幅度的改變了球隊的方向。
First, they agreed to trade Deni Avdija to Portland for an absolute haul of
assets. The team received the No. 14 pick and will also receive a 2029
first-round pick, two second-round picks, and Malcolm Brogdon. Most NBA front
office sources who spoke with The Athletic regarding this deal said that
while they believe in Avdija and think his contract is about to become one of
the most valuable across the NBA (he’ll make under $12 million in 2027-28),
they felt like this was more than they would have traded for Avdija. No one
would go so far as to call it an “overpay,” but there was agreement that
this was a strong return for a Wizards team that entered the day pretty
loaded with big wings in Avdija, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyle Kuzma.
Additionally, two of those sources felt that while Avdija is terrific, he’s
ultimately going to be more beneficial to a team that is trying to win now as
opposed to in the early stages of a rebuild.
首先，他們同意將Deni Avdija交易至波特蘭，以換取大量資產。球隊獲得了第14順位選
秀權，還將在2029年獲得一個首輪選秀權、兩個次輪選秀權和Malcolm Brogdon。大多數與
The Athletic談話的NBA管理層人士表示，儘管他們相信Avdija並認為他的合約將成為全
NBA最有價值的合約之一（他在2027-28賽季的薪水將不到1200萬美元），但他們認為這比
他們願意為Avdija交易的資產還要多。沒有人會把這稱為"出太多的交易"，但大家一致認
為這對於進入選秀日已經擁有Avdija、Bilal Coulibaly和Kyle Kuzma等多名大前鋒的巫師
隊來說是很棒的回報。除此之外，兩名消息人士認為，儘管Avdija非常出色，但對於一支
試圖現在贏球的球隊來說，他的價值更高，而不是在重建初期的球隊。
The Wizards also drafted Perth Wildcats big man Alex Sarr, the player I have
ranked at No. 1 on my board. We need to be clear here: Sarr is no sure thing
to be a star. He is athletic and a terrific defender. He’s long and mobile
and has the potential to be the kind of defender that every team is looking
for with how much ground he can cover, particularly across the weak side of
the court. Offensively, he has potential to shoot, has potential to handle
the ball and showed some short-roll passing flashes throughout the year. All
of this is theoretical, though. Sarr still has a ways to go developmentally.
The good news is that with the Wizards, he’s going to have time. They’re
going to be patient and allow him to continue to grow and mature over the
next few years, and hopefully become the kind of perimeter offensive and
game-breaking defensive player that teams hunt far and wide for on across the
globe.
巫師選下了來自伯斯野貓隊的長人Alex Sarr(選秀報告 略)。Sarr在球員發展上還有很長
的路要走。好消息是，在巫師隊，他將有時間成長。他們會耐心地讓他在未來幾年繼續成
長和成熟，希望他能成為各隊尋求的那種外圍進攻者和大幅度影響比賽的防守球員。
Washington used the No. 14 pick on Pittsburgh guard Bub Carrington, who was
probably the player that I was highest on compared to the overall consensus
this season. I had him at No. 8 on my board and think he’s a tremendous
upside swing to fill the team’s need for a lead guard. He is a real
dribble-pass-shoot threat with awesome ball-screen instincts as one of the
youngest players in the class at just 18. He is a tremendous shot-maker as a
pull-up scorer already. As a passer and playmaker, he sees the court well and
clearly knows how to read the defense. Defensively, he got better throughout
the season. On top of that, he’s on a remarkably positive growth trajectory.
He was just 5-foot-8 when he was a sophomore in high school before shooting
up to around 6-foot-1 as a senior, and then continuing to grow to 6-4 before
playing a game at Pittsburgh. He didn’t have the frame to really attack the
rim then, and he’s still learning. Carrington was my favorite home run swing
in the class given what he can already do, and what I think he’s capable of
down the road.
華盛頓隊用第14順位選中了匹茲堡大學的後衛Bub Carrington，他可能是我與大部分球探
們相比評價高最多的球員。我將他排在榜單第8位，認為他是一個有巨大潛力的選擇，能滿
足球隊對主力控衛的需求。他是個真正的運球、傳球和投籃威脅，擁有出色的擋拆本能，
是本屆選秀中最年輕的球員之一，年僅18歲。他已經是一個出色的急停跳投得分手。在傳
球和組織方面，他閱讀場上的能力很強，明顯知道如何閱讀防守。在防守端，他整個賽季
都在進步。此外，他的成長軌跡非常積極。他在高二時身高只有5呎8，到了高四時增高到6
呎1，並在入學匹茲堡大學前繼續增高到6呎4。當時他的身體還不足以真正攻擊籃筐，現在
他還在學習。考慮到他的現有能力和未來潛力，Carrington是我最喜歡的全壘打式選擇。
The team finished its first-round picks with Kyshawn George, a player I’m
not quite as high on relative to where they took him — No. 24, after trading
the No. 51 pick to New York to move up two spots. But they’re clearly
valuing the upside trajectory here. George is another physical late bloomer
who just sprouted to 6-foot-8 within the last 18 months after growing up as a
lead guard. My issue with George is that despite turning 21 in December, he’
s never actually been all that productive. He averaged under three points per
game in the professional second division French league in 2022-23, then this
year averaged under eight points per game. He is 6-foot-7 with long arms and
can shoot, though, so I at least understand the swing.
巫師最後選下了Kyshawn George，相對於巫師選擇他的第24順位來說，我對他的評價不高
