One of the craziest stories in this draft was Nicolas Batum, with all the
talk about his heart condition and a physical nowhere to be found that added
even more uncertainty to a player whose stock was already rumbling somewhere
in the second half of the first round. Apparently, only the Spurs and the
Cavs were updated on his health condition, and everything pointed to Batum
heading to Texas. But it was Portland –who else- stepping in to steal the
French swingman with the 25th pick, right in front of San Antonio’s nose—
thanks to the help of their friends from Texas, Houston.
本屆選秀最詭異的故事之一就是 Batum，大家都在傳說他的心臟有問題，但是沒人知道
實際的狀況到底是怎樣－因為只有馬刺和騎士握有他的體檢資料，這讓他本來就在首輪
後段徘徊的身價增添了更多不確定性。選前一切跡象都顯示他會被馬刺挑走。
但是波特蘭（還能有誰？）在火箭的幫助下，在馬刺眼前硬生生地攔走了他。
For all the doubts Nicolas might draw, his talent, physical gifts and skills
are undeniable, and he seems like a great selection that deep into the first
round.
即使有很多質疑的聲音，他的天份、體能條件和技巧都是不容懷疑的，而且那麼低的順
位選到他也可以算是很賺了。
Most analysts are focusing on his production in the Euroleague, which
remained pretty steady from the previous season. But that’s only a small
part of Batum’s campaign. Many people are sleeping on his excellent
progression in the French League, indeed finishing second in the MVP voting.
很多分析都聚焦在他 Euroleague 的表現（與前一年相比沒啥進步）但是那只是他去年
表現的一小部份而已。大家都不知道他在法國職籃的優異進步，還讓他拿到 MVP 票選
的第二名。
Let’s focus on his evolution in the domestic competition: Batum has
multiplied his production by 2.8 in points, by 2 in rebounds, by 3.3 in
assists, by 3 in steals, by 4 in free-throw attempts, while doubling his
playing time. He also improved his percentages, going from 50.8% to 51.3% in
field goals, from 28% to 35% from behind the arc, and jumping from 55% to 74%
from the charity stripe.
就讓我們看看他在法國職籃聯盟的進步到底多大吧：上場時間增加為 2 倍，但是分數增
加為 2.8 倍，籃板 2 倍，助攻 3.3 倍，抄截 3 倍，罰球次數 4 倍；命中率也從 50.8%
進步到 51.3%，三分球命中率從 28% 進步到 35%，罰球命中率也從 55% 躍升到 74%。
譯按：他的數據可以在這裡找到 不過有點難懂:
http://www.basketinfo.com/joueur.php?no_joueur=1831
So we see a guy who has significantly increased his playing time, and not
only kept the effort up with his production, but even pushed for a higher
rate by also improving his accuracy; and all while playing for the top team
in the French regular season. And they call this to stagnate…
所以他在大幅增加上場時間的情況下，不但數據跟著上揚，上揚的比例也超過上場時間
增加的幅度，各項命中率也都有進步。這些成績都是在法國聯盟最好的球隊打出來的，
他們（那些球評）還把這樣的表現叫做缺乏進步.....
（這段有點是照我的理解翻的 感覺原文有點不清楚）
Now, there are some concerns about his character, aggressiveness playing the
game, etcetera. He’s not the kind of guy who will land in a team and take
over his position, and it’s not like the Blazers are starving at the three,
with Martell Webster and Travis Outlaw. He might be better off staying a
little longer in the French League and continuing to develop his jumper and
go-to skills. Or, if he decides to make the jump (which is reportedly the
case), be ready for a season in the D-League. Anything is better than
sticking permanently to the bench, which might end up ruining completely the
already questionable confidence he enjoys.
另外，還有些質疑是關於他的個性、積極度等等。我只能說，他本來就不是那種可以加
入球隊然後完全主宰他的位置的那種球員；而且有了 Webster 和 Outlaw，拓荒者其實
也沒那麼缺一個小前鋒。他先待在法國繼續練跳投和進攻技巧可能比較好，如果要今年
就過來的話（據報導）可能也會被放到 D-league 練一年。反正不管怎樣都比放在板凳
上爛掉好－那樣可能會摧毀他本來就不太高的自信心。
