Indiana Pacers 2013 Player Profile: Chris Copeland

http://ppt.cc/ZX1H

按：
因為這是個人覺得貴隊最被低估的補強，剛好看到相關文章，就貼過來跟大家分享，
沒有翻成中文，但是內文應該蠻簡單的，就是這個人是個很能製造錯位的前鋒，有著
很好的外線，以及被忽視但真的不錯的籃下進攻，只要給他上場機會就能表現得很好
；在防守上，欠缺敏捷度跟對抗性，但卻是個很有防守決心的球員，另外他不是個很
好的籃板手或傳球者(雖然他不自私)，他比較像是個純得分型的球員。

With their 2013 Eastern Conference Semifinals series nearly over and their
backs against the wall, the New York Knicks decided to give reserve swingman
Chris Copeland more playing time in a last-ditch effort to generate more
offense against a dominant Indiana Pacers defense. “Optimus Cope” made the
most of his increased playing time, scoring 11 points per game on 50%
shooting from the field and 60% shooting from three over the last two games
of the series, impressing Indiana Pacers’ management in the process.

Last year’s Pacers had an incredibly efficient starting lineup, but its
second unit struggled mightily on offense. Chris Copeland, who had excelled
as a bench scorer in limited minutes for the Knicks, was seen as part of the
answer to that problem.

Casual fans may not be aware of Chris Copeland, the sweet-shooting swingman
who had previously played professionally in Belgium, Spain, Holland, Germany
and the NBA D-League before finally landing in the NBA at the age of 28, but
he could gain recognition this year as a key player on a team with
championship aspirations.

In the 2012-13 season, Cope’s rookie campaign, he averaged 8.7 points and
2.1 rebounds over the course of 56 games. His per-game numbers don’t
exactly jump off the page but he was remarkably efficient in the
opportunities he was given and his numbers look much nicer when adjusted for
playing time. Copeland’s averages come out to 20.3 points and five rebounds
per 36 minutes, all on 47.9% shooting from the field and a very strong 42.1%
from beyond the arc (he’s especially deadly on the right wing, where he
made better than 56% of his attempts, per NBA.com’s stats database).
Furthermore, during a brief stretch where Carmelo Anthony sat out injured,
forcing Copeland into the starting lineup, he managed to score 16.1 points
per game without a decrease in efficiency. While Copeland likely won’t be
getting major minutes, especially with Danny Granger set to return from
injury, he will undoubtedly be a regular part of the rotation.

Copeland is capable of playing both the small forward and power forward
positions. He can be a matchup nightmare at power forward. While he may not
be a great ball handler, he’s a clever offensive player that can create
good shots against slower defenders. When matched up against small
forwards, he has underrated footwork down low and can get points on the
block as well. He’s more or less a “pure scorer” though. He’s not
selfish on offense but he won’t pick up very many assists and he’s merely
an adequate rebounder.

Defensively, he plays hard and has even shown a willingness to bang in the
post when matched up against a much bigger man, but his lack of strength and
agility limit his defensive abilities. When used in a bench unit featuring
both him and the newly acquired Luis Scola, the Pacers could experience a
fairly significant drop-off on the defensive end. The Pacers are wagering
that their offensive skills will be enough to make up for it.

推 RoyHibbert:他是打SF替補小葛吧 可以讓我們第二陣容有進攻威脅性
推 RoyHibbert:去年板凳的取分能力有夠慘 現在有Scola和他 應該好不少
推 lp2348:原本補他就已經吸引溜馬迷最大的目光,但後來清掉小綠盤來
→ lp2348:四克拉這麼振奮的消息掩蓋住他啦
推 kuochieh:也看好CT  更不用說改從板凳出發的Stephenson
推 ggvvcc:今年我們的替補都可以在一些弱隊當先發了
→ ggvvcc:現在就差可以打五分鐘的肉柱 感覺上打算等開季才想補上
→ AhUtopian:Mahinmi可以打20分鐘沒問題吧 XD
推 hss512:還缺六個禁區犯規可以使用
推 sliverstream:可惜送出埔里了
→ hsf0318:今年季賽一直到季後賽都看得出2nd unit不夠強
→ hsf0318:在保留原陣容而且又補強了2nd unit 其實很不錯
推 ggvvcc:Mahinmi頂二十分鐘問題不大 目前是缺第三個內線肉柱
推 kuchibu:只覺得他在尼克對溜馬沒一開始就用很悲哀
推 kuchibu:但對他來溜馬沒啥感覺..反正球團愛這種的 又剛好剋大衛西
推 kuchibu:花3M買個打尼克少了點劣勢的保險這樣
推 kuchibu:反正就是看教練會不會用  他動作不協調有速度但不俐落
推 kuchibu:敏捷度真的就是他比較糟的地方  容易被看破手腳
→ NVK:如果教練團不敢在playoff把埔里派上場(非垃圾時間)，
→ NVK:那送走並沒差，而他在季賽能提供的也很有限。
→ NVK:Copeland並不像溜馬教練團愛用的34號長人(苦力爛仗手)
推 JerMi:不認為對尼克我們有辛苦到需要花3M挖對手牆角買保險
→ JerMi:Copeland絕對有他的用處
推 NVK:我覺得取得Cope，算是制服組思維的轉變，而非常規選擇。
→ NVK:總之同意原PO，這交易算是相當值得期待的補強。
→ NVK:唯一押錯寶的情況是: 他表現和Green一樣，融不進隊伍。
我覺得這邊還有個思維，先發妙麗+West的進攻模式，現在到了板凳變成Cope+Scola，
是不是也是很類似的得分體系(當然等級有差)？溜馬現在的2-unit幾乎球風跟功用，
就都是先發的中產階級/略窮人版：

C.J.Watson→會自己找尋投籃機會、攻擊欲望強的後衛─G.Hill
Lance→提供活力能量、利用體能身材切入─P.George
Cope→同位置中較為高大的身材、外線進攻─妙麗
Scola→公園阿伯─West
Mahinmi→身高跟籃下防守嚇阻─Hibbert

推 hss512:他的用處就是補強替補火力 而且他在歐洲打滾多年 也不算是
→ hss512:菜鳥了 我想他會找到適合自己融入球隊的方式
→ hss512:至少可以期待的是 換替補上場後不會連投都不敢投的貧攻狀態
→ hss512:Copeland出手算果敢 命中率也不差 該傳的時候傳 這樣就好了
→ hss512:我們的錢就只有這些 挖到四克拉已經算了不起了 很難在去要
→ hss512:求其他補強的替補球員都要攻守具備 球團只能針對弱點補強
→ hss512:既然上季攻擊力太差 那就犧牲一點防禦力 去換攻擊力大提升
→ hss512:如果教練團還是老樣子只愛用苦力爛帳 那球隊高度也提升不了
→ hss512:教練團不跟著突破進步的話 永遠走不到Finals

推 NVK:同意512的想法，我也認為這種思維轉變是必須的
推 NVK:融入隊伍與否，還是得等待實戰方見分曉
推 agentina:我覺的最好的交易就是四克拉了啦 好期待
→ agentina:他如果跟大衛西聯手,根本聯盟最強的PF組合連線
推 rape5566:這篇在尼克版看過 推
