[外電] Is Drummond the best pick at #5 ?

Is Andre Drummond the best pick at #5 in the draft?

UConn's Drummond could be the next Dwight Howard or next Darko Milicic

Drummond會是5號籤的最佳選擇嗎?
來自UConn的Drummond可能是下一個Dwight Howard，也可能是下一個Darko Milicic


CHICAGO – Andre Drummond's personality is engaging. He doesn't spout
politically correct lines that many draft picks have been trained to ramble off
on cue.

Andre Drummond有著可愛的性格，他不像其他球員那樣，講出那些被訓練已久的場面話。


In short, he has some things in common with DeMarcus Cousins.
Two years ago, Cousins was the best center prospect in the NBA draft and fell
to the Kings at No. 5.

The Kings again have the fifth pick in the draft, and of all the top prospects,
the one who seems most likely to fall to them is Drummond.

總而言之，他和表弟有一些相似的地方(囧)。
兩年前，表弟被認為是當年選秀中最好的中鋒，並且在第五順位被國王選中。

兩年後，國王再次拿到了5號籤，而在所有前段新秀中，
Drummond看起來是最有可能落在這個順位的。


If the Kings operate under the best-player-available philosophy, Drummond might
be too good to pass up. But does Drummond's potential outweigh the questions?

"He could be a (bust like) Darko (Milicic) or he could be a (star like) Dwight
Howard," said Ryan Blake, the senior director of NBA scouting operations. "And
that's scary at times."

如果國王隊抱持著"選當時剩下中的最好的球員"的想法，那麼Drummond會讓你難以割捨。
但是他的潛力是否大於那些加諸在他身上的問號?

NBA球探組織的資深主管Ryan Blake說:
"Drummond可能會是下一個魔獸讓你的球隊上天堂，但也有可能變成下一個小米粒讓你
住套房，你知道這有時是件很恐怖的事情。"


Drummond's approach to the draft is to prove he's the best player available.
He'd like to prove it in a workout against Kentucky's Anthony Davis, the
projected top pick, but he doesn't think that will happen.

And he's not going to mince words.

"I'm just a very honest person," Drummond said. "I say what I feel. I keep it
real. I don't want to shy away from anything because somehow it's going to come
out if you don't tell them. I'm just being who I am. I'm just being Andre
Drummond."

Drummond現在的首要工作，就是證明他會是到時候，留下的球員裡最好的。
他很願意和目前公認的狀元Anthony Davis，一起試訓以證明這一點，
不過他覺得這不會發生。

他不想說什麼場面話。

"我是個老實的人" Drummond說道。
"我講我心裡的感覺，我說實話"
"我不會故意去閃躲什麼問題，因為現在你不說到最後他們也會知道"
"我只是做我自己"


Drummond met Thursday with the Kings at the NBA draft combine, who would like
to add another frontcourt player while still planning to re-sign power forward
Jason Thompson.
Drummond added that during his interview, the Kings told him he would mesh well
with Cousins.

"They told me we both could be interchangeable," Drummond said. "We both can do
similar things, and if it worked out, we'd have a good chemistry together."

Drummond在上星期的NBA選秀試訓中和國王隊的人員見了面，雖然國王預計重簽JT，
但他們還是想要在前場中加入一個有力的球員。
Drummond在面談中說到這個，而國王則告訴Drummond他將會是適合和Cousins搭配的人。

"他們跟我說我和表弟是可以互相替換的" Drummond說。
"我們都可以做到類似的事情，如果一切順利，我們會有很好的化學反應"


Drummond left the University of Connecticut after his freshman season. He
averaged 10 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocked shots.

During that time, the 6-foot-11, 278-pound Drummond developed a reputation for
being inconsistent yet foul-prone. His effort was also questioned.

Drummond在康乃狄克的大一球季留下了10分7.9籃板2.7火鍋的成績。

6呎11吋、278磅的Drummond也留下了表現不穩、容易犯規的名聲。
他的努力與否也被打上了問號。


Blake said Drummond is "a true center without true experience," which is why
he'd need time to develop. His size, strength and wingspan (7-61/4 and longest
at the combine) has scouts believing he can be a dominant defender, shot
blocker and rebounder.

Blake形容他是一個"真正的中鋒但缺少真正的經驗"
這也就是為什麼他需要時間來養(太嫩)。
他的高度、身體素質以及7呎6又1/4吋的臂展(體測中最長的)，
讓球探們相信他將會是個超強力防守者、火鍋和籃板的佼佼者。


Cousins is adept at drawing charges and can be effective going for steals, but
he's not a shot blocker. This past season, Cousins averaged 1.17 blocked shots,
tied for 26th in the NBA. Thompson averaged .69 blocked shots, ranked 57th.

"I'm going to work my tail off on defense, grab a lot of rebounds, block some
shots and put some points on the board," Drummond said. "It's going to be
tough. I'm going to be making a big transition from college to the NBA. … I'm
not saying I'm going to go out there and drop 30 and 15 every game. I'm saying
I'm going to go out there and do the best I can."

表弟很會做進攻犯規，也很會抄球，但是他不是個好的火鍋手。
上一季表弟平均每場1.17個火鍋排在全聯盟第26，JT平均0.69個只排在57名。

Drummond說: "我會全力做好防守，抓很多籃板，蓋一些火鍋並且放進一些分數"
"這並不容易，NCAA和NBA會有很大的不同。我並不是要說我會每晚拿下30分15籃板，
但我絕對會盡我的全力做到最好。"


If the Kings opt for more polished frontcourt options, they could go with North
Carolina's John Henson or his teammate, center Tyler Zeller. Ohio State forward
Jared Sullinger is another alternative.

None of those players, however, are believed to have the potential of Drummond.

如果國王隊想考慮其他看似不錯的前場球員，北卡的John Henson和Tyler Zeller是選擇。
Ohio State的Jared Sullinger是另一個選項。


Drummond, as Cousins did two summers ago, believes he is misunderstood entering
the draft process.

"Off the court, I'm a very kindhearted person. I look out for other people, a
lot," Drummond said. "I've always looked out for other people. On the court, I
play with a smile on my face. Sometimes people misunderstand that as not
playing hard and (that) I don't take the game seriously, but that's just me. I
enjoy the game of basketball."

就像兩年前的表弟，Drummond相信在進入NBA的過程中他也被誤解了。

"在球場下我是個好人，我也常為別人著想" Drummond說道。
"在球場上我總是帶著笑容，有時因此大家誤解我不夠努力打球不夠認真，
但這就是我，我在場上享受比賽。"
