[外電] It's time for Erick Dampier

[loed ()]

熱火缺什麼? 你知道!我知道!!獨眼龍也知道!!!

就好像只有濕婆不知道!? 記者問他為何不簽Dampier，

濕婆說:我覺得的現在陣容還不錯!?時間還早，當前的工作是把現有球員訓練好。

該文作者認為，簽Dampier一定比Anthony有用，特別是他的籃板能力；禁區嚇阻力也夠。

Dampier絕對能頂替大Z的先發地位，是個堪用的中鋒(不跟怪物中鋒比的話)。

花$1.4 million就能解決的問題，為何不去做???


It's time for Erick Dampier

By Tom Haberstroh

The Heat have already shaken up their depth chart at center this season,
sliding Joel Anthony to the bench and inserting Zydrunas Ilgauskas into the
starting five. Miami’s thinness up front has been a punching bag for Heat
critics. But that perceived weakness could turn into a strength with one
move: signing free agent Erick Dampier.

The 14-year veteran offers the Heat a narrow set of skills as a big man but
seeing that he’s a free agent expected to sign for the veteran minimum of
$1.4 million, that’s par for the course. But what Dampier does do well --
rebound and block shots -- should draw the Heat’s interest.

When asked after Tuesday’s practice about possibility of adding Dampier to
the frontcourt, head coach Erik Spoelstra expressed confidence in his current
personnel.

"Really, this is who we have," Spoelstra said. "We feel like we have enough.
You know, we tweaked the rotation so that might change things up a little
bit. But it’s far too early to make a real objective evaluation. My job is
to coach these guys and worry about who’s in the gym."

And there are some real worries. Along with their propensity to turn the ball
over, rebounding has been a documented chink in the Heat's armor. Currently,
the team's 23.0 offensive rebounding rate places them third to last in the
NBA. It’s unfair to knock the 7-foot-3 Ilgauskas for not collecting
offensive boards, considering he’s typically roaming the perimeter for
pick-and-pops. But Anthony’s a different story. The 6-foot-9 center has been
a below-average offensive rebounder this season, collecting 8.6 percent of
available Heat missed shots. This, despite being firmly planted around the
basket in offensive sets.

For all the energy Anthony brings, his hyperactivity doesn’t translate to
beating others to the live ball. On the defensive end, the UNLV product is
too busy fly-swatting others shots, rather than preventing the opposition
from acquiring second-chance points. In fact, the Heat’s defensive
rebounding rate soars from 61.5 percent while Anthony’s on the floor to 70.9
percent after he exits the game.

At 6-foot-11, Dampier has proven to be a skilled rebounder in his NBA career,
and earned the 2003-04 crown as the very best in the league. As a 34-year-old
last season in Dallas, Dampier collected an estimated 11.6 percent of the
Mavericks’ missed shots while he was on the floor, which ranked in the top
10 among regular centers. His glasswork has depreciated over the years but he
should still be a substantial upgrade over Miami’s current alternatives.

In contrast to Anthony, Dampier is long enough to block shots without
relinquishing his box-out position or getting into foul trouble. The
35-year-old veteran was above average in both shot-blocking and defensive
rebounding as a center in 2009-10, with 1.1 blocks and five defensive
rebounds per game. The Heat may tout Anthony’s visible effort in blocking
shots, but they’d be far better off overall with Dampier’s more
conservative approach, which doesn’t leave the paint vulnerable to put-backs
or routinely send opponents to the charity stripe.

Offensively, Dampier represents a veritable upgrade to Anthony as well. They’
re built from the same mold in that they each fall under the category of
low-usage and offensively limited centers. But Dampier’s a more efficient
option beneath the basket. When your scoring responsibility is restricted to
easy put-backs, Anthony’s career 48 percent field goal percentage should be
of great concern. However, Dampier has enjoyed a similar offensive role over
the past four seasons in Dallas and has connected on no fewer than 62.4
percent of his field goals in any of those seasons.

But there are reasons why Dampier hasn’t been snapped up from the waiver
wire yet. One is mileage. He's 35 years old, and through his 14 seasons, he
has logged nearly 25,000 minutes in his NBA career. Concerns about his balky
left knee are legitimate, as it hobbled him throughout 2009-10 and required
minor arthroscopic surgery in May. Furthermore, a free-agent signing may send
mixed signals to the locker room, one that Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra
has been vocally reluctant to disrupt.

The Heat have passed over Dampier’s services once this offseason before. But
for the league minimum, he serves as a tangible upgrade over Anthony, at the
very least. And on the high-end, he could challenge Ilgauskas for the
starting gig -- and win it.

For $1.4 million, it’s a deal that’s growing increasingly hard to pass up.
