Could Kawhi Leonard be an All-Star next season?

For the second year in a row, Kawhi Leonard will be attending All Star
Weekend to play in the Rookie-Sophomore game. But when can we reasonably
expect him to get there as one of the big boys? And which current All Stars
progression is Kawhi currently shadowing?

身為一個NBA的二年級生，Kawhi即將在新秀對抗賽亮相，而我們何時可以期待他脫胎換骨
呢? Kawhi又有哪一位明星球員的影子呢?


Kawhi Leonard has made the Rising Stars challenge once again, after
participating last year. It's a well deserved honor for the hard-working San
Diego State product. After this season Kawhi won't be eligible for the
Rookies vs Sophomores game, so he will have to make the All-Star team if he
wants to be part of the festivities. Let me just start by saying that I don't
think All-Star appearances matter that much. I think that they are not
usually indicative of a player's value and they mostly serve to get players
overpaid. "But he was an All-Star!" people say when overvaluing guys like Mo
Williams and Chris Kaman.

Kawhi繼上季，再度參加新秀對抗賽，對這個勤奮努力的球員來說是他應得的，而這季
過後Kawhi想要繼續在明星周上場比賽，那只能挑戰全明星賽了! 我必須說，我不認為
入選明星賽是很重要的，有很多入選過明星賽的球員其實是被高估的，但大家還是會說
他是明星球員啊! Mo Williams和Chris Kaman即屬此類。


That being said, it's got to be a thrill for young players to get that first
All-Star nod, and while the Spurs will possibly have four representatives
(#letBonnershoot!) at All-Star weekend this season, the franchise hasn't
traditionally benefited from the type of publicity that having a strong
participation in the exhibition provides. So it would probably benefit both
Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs if he got to the All-Star game sooner rather than
later. But how realistic is it to expect to see Kawhi get the nod next season?

話雖這麼說，一個年輕球員首次獲得這樣的肯定對他們來說會是很振奮的，而且馬刺
本季可能有4位球員在明星週末亮相，Kawhi能早點入選明星賽對馬刺和Kawhi都有好處，
但問題是Kawhi下季就入選全明星賽的可能性多大?


I was reading Ben Goliver's piece on who the next All-Star from the 2011
class was going to be and he mentioned Leonard as one of the most viable
candidates. Here's an excerpt:

我讀到Ben Goliver的一篇文章: http://ppt.cc/NVj1 (2011梯誰能成為全明星?)
他非常看好Kawhi，他是這麼說的:


It's difficult but not impossible for perimeter players primarily known as
defenders to receive All-Star recognition. Iguodala found his way to Orlando
in 2012, the Pacers' Paul George was selected this season and Trail Blazers
forward Nicolas Batum should be a candidate in coming years. George and Batum
took big steps forward on offense this season, something that can be expected
from Leonard once Manu Ginobili and Duncan hang it up or play even less.

一個防守見長的球員能獲得明星球員的殊榮是不容易的，但絕不是不可能，入選2012
奧蘭多明星賽的小AI、今年入選的溜馬隊Paul George，以及來年一定見的到的拓荒者
小前鋒Nicolas Batum都是佼佼者。George和Batum本季的進攻都有很大的進步，這也是
我們可以在Kawhi身上期待的。


The comparison to third-year budding star Paul George, who will participate
in the event this season, seemed interesting. George's numbers from last
season are not that different from what Leonard is putting up this year.
Also, both young men made their mark right away on defense and had to develop
their offensive games. Here are Paul Gorge's numbers from this season.

我們拿第三年大幅進步的Paul George來比較，他今年入選了明星賽，看起來很有趣，
George上季的數據和Kawhi這季很像，而且這兩位年輕小伙子的招牌都是"防守"，也都
持續在進攻上尋求進步，這是Paul George本季的數據:

Season   G  MP   FG  FGA  FG%  3P 3PA  3P% FTA  FT% TRB AST STL BLK TOV PTS
2012-13 44 37.2 6.5 15.3 .428 2.2 5.7 .389 2.8 .820 7.8 3.8 1.8 0.7 2.8 17.5
Career 171 28.4 4.4 10.0 .438 1.3 3.6 .367 2.4 .798 5.5 2.3 1.5 0.5 1.8 12.0

這是Kawhi Leonard本季的數據:

Season   G MP    FG FGA  FG%  3P 3PA  3P% FTA  FT% TRB AST STL BLK TOV PTS
2012-13 28 28.5 3.4 7.1 .480 1.2 3.1 .379 1.3 .865 5.1 1.3 1.8 0.4 1.1 9.1
Career  92 25.3 3.2 6.5 .488 0.8 2.1 .378 1.4 .800 5.1 1.2 1.5 0.4 0.8 8.3


It's not impossible to see Leonard take a step up next season with Stephen
Jackson potentially leaving in free agency and Manu slowing down more.
Leonard doesn't have the handles yet to be neither a pick and roll ball
handler nor an effective isolation slasher, but he is a very smart cutter and
his 47.4% on mid range jumpers shows he could get a few extra points coming
off screens if his number were called more often. His three point shooting is
already very good and if he gets better in transition, with a few more
minutes, it wouldn't be too hard for Leonard to see his scoring average rise
into the mid-teens.

隨著傑克船長很可能會成為自由球員而離開，以及Manu漸漸的下滑，Kawhi勢必要扛下
更多的任務。Kawhi目前在P&R中的兩個角色都還沒有辦法詮釋的好，但他會聰明的空手
切，47.4%的中距離命中率也表示他有能夠利用掩護額外得分的本領，他的三分球也夠
穩定了，如果他能夠加強攻守轉換、獲得更多上場時間，他的平均得分勢必會飆升。


All this said, he will likely never get over 37 minutes per game, as George
does. And that will probably make it very hard for him to make the cut. I can
see Leonard getting numbers similar to George's on a per 36 minute basis, but
without the raw stats it's very unlikely he gets selected. Every single West
All-Star this season plays more than 30 a game and coaches seem to reward
players that carry teams, not complimentary pieces.

說到這裡，Kawhi可能沒辦法像P.George平均每場比賽上場超過37分鐘，這可能也會影響
他空手切的發揮。我可以預見Kawhi平均36分鐘的數據可以達到George的水平，但這樣還
是不足以讓他入選明星賽。本季入選的西區明星球員，每個平均上場時間都是30+
而且教練貌似比較喜歡能夠齁住全場的球員。


Speaking of the West, the competition is simply stiffer than it is back East.
No offense to Luol Deng, George or Joakim Noah, but they probably wouldn't
have made the team out West. There are not a lot of positional restrictions
on All-Star games but there's usually some semblance of roster balance, so
it's likely Leonard will fight for a spot against Gallinari, Iguodala, Batum,
Gay and Kirilenko. Depending on how Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson, Chandler
Parsons and Kenneth Faried develop, you can add them too. If we don't see a
few of those guys switching teams and conferences soon, Kawhi will have
staunch competition for an All-Star spot.

說到西區啊! 競爭的強度可是遠大於東區，像Deng, George, Noah這種進攻不佳的球員
在西區是不可能入選明星賽的。明星賽球員的位置不會要求太嚴格，所以Kawhi的競爭者
有可能是Gallinari、Iguodala、Batum、Gay、AK47，以及發展中的H.Batnes、Thompson、
Parsons、Faried。如果沒有意外，Kawhi的明星賽之路必當坎坷。


Unless he gets significantly better over the next summer, or the Spurs start
featuring him more on offense, Kawhi's chances of making the All-Star team as
soon as next season seem slim at best. Once some of the West's heavy-hitters
like Duncan, Kobe and Dirk retire and guys like Zach Randolph and David Lee
slow down, Kawhi will have his shot at competing with his contemporaries for
a spot. It's OK, though. He'll be San Antonio's little secret for a while
longer before the national public catches on to his talents. As for Kawhi? I
think he'd like an NBA title more, and he's competing for one this season so
I wouldn't worry our young small forward.
But let's ask him. How do you feel about the All-Star game, Kawhi?

除非Kawhi明年夏天有十足的進步，或是馬刺賦予他更多在進攻上的腳色，這樣他下季
入選明星賽才有那麼一點點可能。隨著遲暮英雄Duncan、Kobe、Dirk即將要退休，
Z.Randolph、D.Lee速度下滑，Kawhi將要和同時代的對手們較勁，他OK的，他將成為
馬刺的秘密武器，趁聯盟還沒發現他的才華，而對Kawhi來說，他應該比較在乎總冠軍吧! 
他這季也將力拼一座! 我們還是問問他吧! Kawhi,你對於明星賽有什麼感覺呢?

Kawhi: Nobody cares............Bwah!
