Good ol' DeJuan Blair.
I have a love/hate relationship (if you can call fandom a "relationship") with
 DeJuan. I was super-excited to see the Spurs get him and that continued into
and through his rookie season. There was talk of him being the next steal of
the draft for the Spurs organization and hopes were high. Since then, there
seems to have been a drop in Blair's play. It could be that he doesn't like
starting until the stretch run and then he ends up getting little-to-no burn
late in the season and the playoffs, and that would be understandable.

我對於Blair有愛恨交織的關係(假設球迷可稱之為關係)，我一直很開心馬刺能得到他，
這感覺持續了一整個菜鳥年。而人們都談論著他是馬刺當時選秀會上一偷，且都對他有
著高度期待，在這之後他的表現就開始逐漸下滑。
這可能是他沒有像最初那樣持續在燃燒他的小宇宙，直到賽季末與季後賽漸漸消失，這
是可以理解的。


But the fact remains that Blair has not lived up to his rookie season in hardly
 any statistical category. When I say that, understand that I would expect any
 rookie to improve from year 1 to year 2. Blair has gotten marginally better in
 some areas of his game, but just marginally. Last season was no different.
In fact, many thought, Blair included, that the Spurs would try to move the
Pitt-product in the off-season.

但事實上，他在菜鳥年時並沒有辜負了任何統計數據。當我說我明白一個新秀在1~2年間
去改善我們所期望時，D. Blair 已經在一些比賽中展現他進步的地方了－雖然不明顯。

至於上個賽季，看起來沒什麼不同。

已經有許多球迷認為馬刺會將這位來自匹茲堡的小胖在休賽期擺上交易菜單裡。


That was not to be, at least to this point. Blair has one year remaining on his
 rookie deal and will then be a free-agent. So with that in mind, what should
 the Spurs do with Blair? Can he improve enough to have some trade value or
enough for the Spurs to want to keep him as a part of their future?
I'll share my thoughts on what to do with DaBeast.

至少在這點上不是不可能。接下來是他的合約年，打完後就接著成為自由球員。
為了這點，所以對於D. Blair，馬刺要如何是好??

D. Blair要如何去刷數據來提高自己的交易價值，或者生出馬刺所需的東西來留住他呢?
我將會分享我關於數據的想法。



首先，其他人會稱呼我為"Blair Hater"，讓我們來看看數據：


SEASON AGE   G   GS   MP  FG%  FTA  FT%  ORB  DRB  TRB AST STL BLK PTS

09-10  20   82   23  18.2 .556 2.0 .547  2.4  4.0  6.4 0.8 0.6 0.5 7.8
10-11  21   81   65  21.4 .501 1.7 .657  2.7  4.3  7.0 1.0 1.2 0.5 8.3
11-12  22   64   62  21.3 .534 1.9 .613  2.4  3.1  5.5 1.2 0.9 0.2 9.5
Career     227  150  20.2 .528 1.8 .602  2.5  3.8  6.4 1.0 0.9 0.4 8.5


I'll admit to being surprised by the fact that Blair's numbers aren't all
that much worse in the last two seasons compared with his rookie campaign.
That said, notice that he started in far fewer games and played less minutes
per-game his rookie season.
So with that in mind, let's look a Per-36-Minute chart:

我不得不承認這驚人的事實，在D. Blair過去兩個賽季和他的新秀年相比並不是全部都
這麼糟糕。這表示，必須要注意他的比賽場次與時間都比新人年少了許多。
為了考慮到這點，我們來看看他的每36分鐘平均數據：


SEASON AGE   G   GS   MP  FG%  FTA  FT%  ORB  DRB  TRB AST STL BLK PTS

09-10  20   82   23  1494 .556 2.0 .547  4.8  7.9  12.7 1.6 1.2 0.9 15.4
10-11  21   81   65  1734 .501 1.7 .657  4.5  7.3  11.7 1.6 2.0 0.9 14.0
11-12  22   64   62  1363 .534 1.9 .613  4.1  5.2   9.3 2.1 1.6 0.3 16.1
Career     227  150  4591 .528 1.8 .602  4.5  6.8  11.3 1.7 1.6 0.7 15.1


This seems to be a fairer representation of what Blair's seasons have looked
like.
Very nice in Season 1, a slight up-tick in some areas in Season 2, but a
down-tick in others. Season 3 looks like regression across the board with the
 exception of small improvements in points and FG% and assists.

I can already hear some of you shouting for advance stats to prove DeJuan's
true worth, so here you are:

這些數據看起來對於D. Blair的賽季是比較公平、代表性的。
新人年非常棒，第二年在其他部份有些下滑，去年倒是回升了一些。
我已經聽到有人在對我吶喊要求統計數據以證明胖子的真正價值，所以：

So what does this tell us? Blair has seen a drop in rebounding every year since
 his rookie season. His assists percentage and steal percentage have gone up,
with his turnovers dropping.
His total win shares have not been as high as his rookie campaign.
So Blair has gotten better at dishing the ball, stealing the ball, and turning
 the ball over less--all good things to be sure. Surprisingly his offensive
rating is as good as his rookie season. He also had his worst defensive rating
 last year, albeit not by much. However, there is clearly a theme that even in
the areas in which Blair has improved, it has not been significant improvement.

So what does all this mean in the big scheme of things?
Well, first let me say that Blair was not as bad as I remember him being this
 past year. I really had a hard time remembering him doing as well as the stats
 point out. That said, he has clearly not only not drastically improved, he has
 even regressed from his rookie season in some very vital areas of his game-
-most notably, rebounding.

所以這一連串數字能告訴我們什麼呢??
他的籃板從新秀年開始逐年下滑；他的助攻、抄截比例逐年上升，失誤率下降；他的勝場
率都沒有新秀年來得高。

D. Blair已有愈來愈好的傳球、下手、更少失誤，至少這些正面向數據是肯定的。
但令人驚訝的是他的進攻評比都不如新秀賽季，去年他也有雖不常見，但很糟糕的防守。
所以對於D. Blair已改善、尚待改善以有個明確的主題出現了。
那麼這一切都意味著需要大改造嗎??讓我先說，去年的Blair並沒有這麼糟糕。

我很難記住他哪些資料是正向的，那些統計數據都說明他沒有改善缺點，反而優點逐漸下
滑消失，那從他新秀賽季開始就最重要的－籃板球。


Why is that? Well, if you notice, DeJuan only started 23 games his rookie
season. Meaning he was playing against a lot of second units and less-talented
 big men. Blair was able to have a very nice rebounding season, leading all of
 us to scream BLLLLLAAAAAIIIIIIIRRRRR! many times a game. Ahhh, the memories:

為什麼?? 如果你有注意到，胖子新秀賽季時他只有先發了23場比賽。
這意味著他對到很多次級貨和沒啥才華的長人。而他當時擁有非常漂亮的籃板球賽季。
我們很多次比賽時所有人都尖叫著"BLLLLLAAAAAIIIIIIIRRRRR!"

好吧，那是一個回憶。


Listen, I know Blair is, more or less, playing in a position that makes it hard
 for him to succeed. He's undersized, he has trouble with his weight and he has
 the ever-popular built-in excuse of having no ACLs.
I understand that Blair is playing on a team that doesn't run many plays for him
 and that he is expected to do many things that might not fit his personality. So what can the Spurs do with Blair?
In my opinion, Blair should be moved to the second unit. In the past that's
meant starting either Tiago Splitter or Matt Bonner with Duncan. However, with
 Boris Diaw, the Spurs now have a better starting option than Blair and can let
 the young player develop into a nice bench/role player.
If the Spurs can do that, I think they'll have a much better chance of getting
 more production from DeJuan this season. Blair is still on a good contract
with the Spurs and I think he could bring useful energy off the bench.


聽著，我知道D. Blair或多或少，在他打的位置上很難獲得成功。
他是小尺寸的前鋒，而且有體重麻煩，曾經流行過的理由是他沒有ACL。
具我所知，Blair在一個團隊中的定位，和預計他需要做的許多事情可能不合他的性格。

那麼，馬刺球團和Blair能做什麼??

在我看來，應該要將他放置在板凳上，做為Tiago、TD、Bonner的替補。
然而現在馬刺有了更好的選擇，B. Diaw做得比Blair來得好，而且可以讓年輕人成為不錯
的替補球員。
如果馬刺做到這點，我想馬刺就有更多的機會在新賽季獲得D. Blair提供的東西。
D. Blair仍然是馬刺一位不錯的合約球員，他可以為板凳提供更多的能量。


The only issue I can see with what I have proposed is that Blair doesn't come
in with the right attitude. I have no doubt that Blair is a good kid and he
seems to enjoy life. That said, I do have my doubts as to his work ethic and
overall commitment to the game. I tend to think that Blair has had a lot of his
 basketball success come to him easily and now that he's going to have to
really work at things, it might be difficult for him to take that next step.
I really have nothing to back up this opinion outside of my personal feelings
and observations of DeJuan and his game.

If Blair can get it together I expect the Spurs to trade him, let him go at the
 end of season, or try to re-sign him to a contract that is similar to what he
 has now, which I doubt he'll go for. I sincerely hope that Blair is put in a
better situation to succeed and that he takes advantage of it. Blair has the
capability to be a special guy that helps this team be better, and helps Tim
Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker get another ring.


唯一的問題是我看到Blair不夠正確的態度。
毫無疑問他絕對是個好孩子，也很享受他的NBA職業生活。
也就是說，我對於他的工作態度和比賽的幹勁存有疑問，我頃向認為Blair的籃球技術給
了他極大的方便，但面臨到真正的挑戰時他很難更上一層樓。
這個意見我並沒有參考其他外人對D. Blair的感想，單純是我個人意見。
如果Blair能一起取得新的態度這點，我會頃向於馬刺將他交易出去，或者重新評估他能
給的東西來重簽合約。我真誠的希望他能在更適合的環境下成功，他正需要這個機會。

D. Blair是一個很特別的孩子，他有能力幫助球隊、T. Duncan、T. Parker、Manu去獲
得下一個冠軍戒。
