6. Clint Capela, 6'11 C/PF Switzerland 1994
Positives: Many people fell in love Capela after seeing his
improvements/productivity this season. His size, length, and athleticism are
absolutely freakish. The Swiss National can run the floor very well for a
player his size. He has strong rebounding instincts and possesses as much
upside as any of the big men in this year's draft. If he learns a couple of
post moves and improves his court awareness, he could become a great finisher
and rim protector. He posted some big performances playing for his French
team this past season.
優點:
很多人看到Capela在這個賽季的進步和效率後愛上他。
他的體型、高度和運動能力絕對是怪物級。
瑞士國家隊能讓他這種身材的球員在球場上跑動。
有很強的籃板能力,並具有今年選秀其他長人一樣等級的潛力。
如果學一些低位動作和提高自己的球場意識,可以成為優秀的得分點和禁區門神。
過去一季在法國的球隊有不錯的表現。
Negatives: Can you turn a great athlete into a basketball player? He was
invisible playing in front of scouts at the 2013 Eurocamp. He also struggled
in front of scouts at the Hoop Summit in Portland this past April. We've been
waiting nearly two years for his game to come around, and he hasn't lived up
to his potential yet. His feel for the game is still lacking and he has yet
to develop a reliable post move. He does not appear to play hard at all
times, and his dedication to the game has been questioned.
缺點:
能否將一個優秀的運動員訓練成一個籃球員?
他在2013 Eurocamp的球探面前是個隱形人,今年四月在波特蘭的Nike Hoop Summit也打得
很掙扎。
他在過去兩年一直備受期待,雖然沒有辜負在他身上的潛力,但對於比賽的感覺仍然不足
,也沒有可靠的低位技巧,有時在場上打得並不積極,使他對球賽的貢獻度受到質疑。
7. Alessandro Gentile, 6'6 SF Italy 1992
Positives: Along with Bogdanovic, he has been one of the best players in
Europe of this age group. He played very well at the European Championship
and in Euroleague. Few kids ever had the impact that he had this year for a
very good team at the highest level. He has incredible strength in his upper
body and great feel for scoring. When he is hot, he's virtually impossible to
guard. He's developed a very reliable step-back move and he possesses a
natural ability to put the ball on the floor on close-outs. Similar to Marco
Belinelli, he plays with great self-confidence.
優點:
他在同年齡的歐洲球員之中和Bogdanovic一樣屬於最優秀的一群。
他在歐洲冠軍賽和歐洲聯賽打得很好。
身在歐洲最高聯盟的優秀球隊,很少有年輕球員像他一樣有影響力。
他擁有絕佳的上肢強度和得分能力,當手感來了根本守不住。他練出了可靠的後撤步動作
,懂得適時將球傳出去。類似Marco Belinelli類型的球員,並帶著很強的自信在打球。
Negatives: He is not a quality shooter, thanks to his subpar mechanics. It is
a real question whether he can create his own shot in the NBA. If not, can he
make more than 35 percent of his 3-point attempts in the league? If the
answer is no, he will struggle to succeed in a league where you need to be
great at multiple things to be successful. His attitude and questionable
basketball IQ are concerns, as well. He likely has the talent, but has yet to
show a real desire to do the things necessary to play in the NBA. He started
out well, but melted down in the Italian League finals against Siena. He also
has been defiant with NBA scouts who have shown interest in him, so a team
will have to count on him to mature.
缺點:
由於欠佳的投籃姿勢導致他不是一個高命中率的射手。這對於他在NBA能否自己創
造投射機會是個問題。如果沒有辦法,那麼他的3pFG%能夠超過35%嗎?如果答案是不行,
他在這個需要多個強項才能成功的聯盟可能難以生存。
他的態度和受質疑的籃球智商需要擔心。他可能有天賦,但還沒有展現出在NBA打球的慾望
驅使他去做該做的事情。
他在剛開季打得很好,但在意大利聯賽決賽對陣Siena的表現不佳。他還不停挑釁對他感興
趣NBA球探,所以球隊必須擔心他的心智成熟度。
8. Damien Inglis, 6'9 SF/PF France 1995
Positives: On talent alone, he would likely be in the top five on this list
