Q. Was wondering if you could see Sabonis and Turner starting together, with
Bogdanovic coming off the bench? This could help fix our rebounding problem,
while playing tall but still be able to knock threes from all position.
問：想知道你覺得可能Sabonis與Turner一起先發，然後Bogdanovic從板凳出發嗎？
這可以解決我們的籃板問題，同時具有高度也能在每一個位置投射三分球。
A. If Sabonis and Turner are starting together, and Bogdanovic is coming off
the bench, I presume you're keeping Thad Young in the starting lineup. That
would indeed be a better rebounding lineup, but that would move Young to the
"three" position and he would have a difficult time defending some small
forwards.
答：依你的問題，我假設你把Thad保留在先發，這確實會是更好的籃板保護的配合，
但代表Thad必須打三號位，他在防守一些小前鋒時會遇上問題。
I think he could play the position against some teams, though, and I would be
in favor. He's still agile for his size (and age) as he's proven in the way
he defends pick-and-rolls. He's able to switch off onto guards, an asset that
was sorely missed when he was injured last season.
我想他能夠在小前鋒的位置上應付某些球隊，某種程度上我是贊同的。
以他的體型與年齡而言他仍然迅速，
他能夠在防守擋拆上證明他的能力，
他能夠守住後衛，
上個賽季當他因傷缺陣時是非常沉重的打擊。
Regardless of who starts, I think Turner and Sabonis will be together on the
court frequently. Rebounding will be the biggest issue facing the Pacers this
season, and they are the team's most physical rebounders. Overall, though, I
don't know that Sabonis is a significantly better rebounder than Thad Young,
who seems better able to track down the longer rebounds because of his
quickness. Young led the team in rebounding in the preseason, for what that's
worth.
不論誰先發，我認為Turner與Sabonis未來將經常在場上湊一對(翻譯：溜馬的球場情侶？)，
籃板將會是溜馬這個賽季最大的問題，
而它們是球隊最有活動力的籃板者，
總體而言，
我不知道Sabonis是否比Thad是明顯更好的籃板者，
Thad似乎更能夠靠著他的敏捷追逐長籃板，
Thad在先前球季是球隊籃板的佼佼者，
是相當有價值的。
I started to write that a Turner-Sabonis-Young frontline would damage the
team's 3-point capabilities, but not as much as people probably think. Turner
hit .348 of his 3-point attempts last season, Young .381 and Sabonis .321.
Turner and Sabonis are capable of improvement, while Young's percentage was a
career-high. Bogdanovic shot .367 from the 3-point line. The difference
between him and Sabonis isn't that great, and Sabonis is capable of closing
the gap, but the Pacers will need every 3-pointer they can get. Bogdanovic is
a classic spot-up 3-point shooter while Sabonis and Young are not, so they
aren't as likely to be able to spread the defense.
我剛開始曾寫過Turner、Sabonis、Thad的鋒線組合會影響球隊的三分能力，
但遠不如人們所想的多，
Turner上個球季的三分球命中率為三成四八，
Thad為三成八一，
Sabonis為三成二一，
Turner和Sabonis都能進步，
Young的命中率則來到的生涯高點，
Bogdanovic的命中率為三成六七，
他與Sabonis最大的差別不是在於他比較會投三分和Sabonis有能力守住禁區，
溜馬現在需要任何他們能夠得到的三分射手，
Bogdanovic是一個典型的三分射手，
而Sabonis、Thad不是，
所以他們不太可能去拉開防守空間。
Still, I think Sabonis is an intriguing player with great upside, so it
wouldn't surprise me at all to see him become a starter – one way or another.
同時，我認為Sabonis是一個充滿潛力的球員，
所以看他成為先發我並不會覺得太例外-無論是因為甚麼原因。
