Nate一副小人得志的模樣實在讓我無名火起 X ( 個人觀感而已 )
TUALATIN — Less than 24 hours after the Trail Blazers traded Jerryd Bayless
to New Orleans for a first-round draft pick, coach Nate McMillan revealed his
plans for a new-look player rotation.
Bayless was penciled in at backup point guard and McMillan said he will be
replaced by a host of Blazers — Brandon Roy, Wesley Matthews and Armon
Johnson — in a versatile and potentially dynamic second unit.
“Wesley has shown that he can play some point, Brandon can play some point
and Armon did a good job for us in training camp and showed that he can play
a few minutes at the point guard position, too,” McMillan said. “There’s a
number of guys that we can use to bring the ball down to initiate the offense.
”
McMillan joked that Roy had “asked for the ball a little more” in training
camp, and it appears the Blazers’ All-Star will be a prime beneficiary of
the trade. As starters are pulled from the first shift, specifically point
guard Andre Miller, Roy will stay in and play alongside Matthews and Rudy
Fernandez in a backcourt that will feature three guards who can shoot, score
and set up an offense.
Any one of the three pvlayers can run the offense at any given time, McMillan
said, and the trade opens up minutes and a larger role for them all.
“There was going to be a squeeze for minutes with Bayless, Rudy and Wesley
coming off the bench,” McMillan said. “Now we just feel that we’ve got to
get Wesley and we’ve got to get Rudy minutes on the floor (off the bench).
And Armon can pick up a few minutes.”
McMillan said Johnson, a second-round draft pick out of Nevada, will get
roughly 10 minutes a game. When Johnson met with reporters following Sunday’
s practice, he had not yet talked with McMillan about his new role. Told he
would likely become a rotation player, Johnson flashed a wide smile but vowed
to maintain the extraordinary work ethic that has helped him turn heads thus
far.
“I’m not sure that this (trade) guarantees that,” Johnson said of playing
time. “I’m just worrying about what I’ve been doing this whole time to get
playing time. I’m not worried about the different politics ... around here.
If coach puts me in the game earlier, that just means I’ve been working
harder. I don’t feel like things have changed.”
The only thing that changed for Johnson on Sunday was that he showed up even
earlier for practice — at 8:30 a.m. or roughly 30 minutes earlier than he
had been showing up. Johnson not only was the first player in the practice
facility Sunday, which has been the case before practices and shootarounds
for roughly two weeks, but he also beat most of the coaching staff.
Despite his rise in the rotation, Johnson - — like several teammates —
revealed a mix of emotions about the Bayless trade. Multiple players talked
about “losing a brother” with Bayless’ departure and they said his
presence would be missed in the locker room.
But they mostly focused on the benefits. For Bayless, the move most likely
provides more playing time and, at the very least, guarantees “A fresh start,
” as he phrased it on Twitter Saturday night. And for the Blazers, the trade
clears up what had been a logjam at guard.
“I hate to lose Jerryd,” Roy said. “It was no secret we were really loaded
at that combo guard position. It gives us a chance to open it up a little
bit. Rudy gets to play a little bit more and not worry about those minutes
and so does Wesley.”
Note: McMillan said that Nicolas Batum (sore neck) and Wesley Matthews (sore
right Achilles) practiced Sunday and are on pace to play opening night.
