分析爵士陣中長人

作者Chunk Nunn／JazzSession

: While the final roster for fall camp has yet to be announced and there is
: still time for trades to occur, it’s still possible to get a pretty good
: idea as to how the Utah Jazz roster will be shaping up this season.
: So I think it's a good time to break down the Jazz lineup by position in the
: days leading up to fall camp Oct. 3, barring any changes being made as final
: announcements come in on the camp roster.

儘管爵士秋季訓練營的完整名單還沒出來(譯按：此刻已經出來了)，並且理論上交易
還是有可能進行，但是從現在開始深入分析爵士新球季的可能陣型仍然無失為一個好
主意。

所以我決定從本篇起開始按位置分析爵士隊陣容，直到十月三日秋季訓練營當天。並
且會為陣容的變動與秋季營的名單而隨時修正我的評論。

: For now, let's start with the center and power forward positions. I'm
: combining the two because Utah has three players currently on its roster
: who can play both positions.

現在，讓我們以中鋒和大前鋒開始。我把這兩位置合併來看，是因為爵士陣中有三個
人這兩個位置都能打。

: Two of those players can be expected to be part of Utah's starting lineup on
: opening night. Six-foot-11 Mehmet Okur and 6-9 Carlos Boozer finished out
: last season as Utah's starting frontcourt along with Andrei Kirilenko.

這三人中有兩人應該會先發。

他們是6呎11吋的Mehmet Okur和6呎9吋的Carlos Boozer。爵士就是以他們兩人搭配
Andrei Kirilenko所組成的前場組合結束上一季。

: Okur, entering his fifth year in the NBA, is considered by many to be a
: center. But with Boozer injured for much of last season, Okur saw a lot of
: minutes at the power forward position. He made a big improvement in his
: second season with Utah, leading the Jazz in scoring with 18 points per game
: and in rebounding with 9.1 boards per game.

Okur在NBA將邁入第五個年頭，原本被設定為中鋒。但Boozer上季因傷缺賽太多，使得
Okur在大前鋒位置打了非常多時間。Okur在爵士的第二年進步神速，平均18分9.1籃板
皆是全隊之冠。

: Utilizing his inside-outside game, Okur creates a lot of matchup problems
: on offense. While his 3-point shooting dropped off a bit last season to 34
: percent, he is still a deep threat from behind the arc or within it. Okur can
: also take his man off the dribble for layups, and he has a respectable post
: game.

Okur善用他內外皆宜的打法、製造出對手許多錯守的困擾。儘管他三分球命中率比之前
略低，降到34%，但他不論站在弧外或弧內、仍然是個極大的威脅。 Okur還可以面對防
守者自行運球上籃，同時他在低位的威力也不容小覷。

: I've already mentioned his rebounding. Okur has made great strides in that
: area, which helped make Utah one of the NBA’s top rebounding teams last
: season. He's also been somewhat of an iron man, having played in all 164
: games since signing with Utah in 2004.

我並且也注意到他的籃板。Okur在這一方面有著驚人進步，這讓爵士成為去年全 NBA
最會抓籃板的球隊之一。他還是個鐵人，自從2004年來到爵士後，164場比賽全勤。

: Boozer, who has been a power forward for most of his NBA career, also saw
: time at the center position toward the end of last season. After missing more
: than half the season with a recurring hamstring injury, Boozer came back
: strong with his post play, finishing the season as the team’s second leading
: scorer (16.3 ppg) and rebounder (8.6 rpg).

Boozer，他大部分的NBA生涯都打大前鋒，但去年季末他打中鋒的時間也不少。在因傷
而缺席了大半球季之後，Boozer回來了，並且在低位打得很猛。他16.3分和8.6籃板都
是全隊的第二名。

: Boozer's biggest struggle in a Jazz uniform has been in staying healthy.
: If he can do that this season, he should emerge as the major post presence
: Utah wanted when it brought him aboard, also in 2004.

Boozer在爵士最大的挑戰是保持健康。若他本季能做到這點，他會成為爵士隊低位方面
的寶藏---正如2004爵士隊以天價把他簽來時所希望的那樣。

: Jarron Collins, at 6-11, has played all five of his NBA seasons with the
: Jazz. While he's never been the kind of center who will give you a 20-10
: every night, his cerebral approach to the game has made him a solid role
: player. Collins contributes basically because he makes very few mistakes
: in the halfcourt and plays good team defense.

Jarron Collins，6呎11吋，五年NBA生涯全在爵士度過，儘管他永遠不會是那種給你
20分10籃板的中鋒，但他聰明的打法仍使他成為一個紮實好用的綠葉球員。 Collins
的貢獻很穩定，因為他在半場陣地戰中很少犯錯，並且團隊防守做得很好。

: While Collins did have decent numbers last season (5.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg) and
: started 41 games, it's reasonable to expect that he will probably be more
: of a second unit player this season, providing some stability and hustle
: off the bench.

雖然Collins去年先發了41場、數據也還不錯(5.3分，4.2籃板)，但他本季仍然會以二
線球員身份登場，並身為其中的要角，從板凳上來提供穩定以及拚勁。

: Utah's newest center on the roster, 6-11 Rafael Araujo, heads into the new
: season as a bit of a question mark. His first two seasons as a pro with the
: Toronto Raptors were a disappointment without question.
: But Araujo, who came to Utah in exchange for forward Kris Humphries and
: center Robert Whaley, seems determined to make the most of his new start
: with the Jazz. In offseason workouts, Araujo has trimmed down, coming into
: the Rocky Mountain Revue around 15 pounds lighter than his listed 290, and
: has been working on his quickness.
: After a rough start to the Revue that included getting ejected after a
: flagrant foul on the Atlanta Hawks' Marvin Williams, Araujo was able to
: settle in and put together some decent performances. But right now, it
: remains to be seen how much he's progressed. Fall camp and the preseason
: may be indicators on how much Araujo's improved since last season.

爵士新近獲得了一個純中鋒，6呎11吋的 Rafael Aroujo，並帶著一些問號進入新球
季。但他頭兩年在暴龍隊的表現令人失望則是毫無疑問的。

不過，爵士隊以Kris Humphries與Robert Whaley為代價換來的這個Aroujo，似乎決
心要在爵士隊好好重新出發。在休季期，他好好減重了一番，於RMR現身時較上季瘦
了十五磅，並且下了工夫鍛鍊他的敏捷力。

在RMR以一個對Marni Williams的惡性犯規做為開場， Aroujo在往後的比賽漸漸穩定
了並且有了些還算像樣的表現。不過直到目前為止，最大的問題仍然是他究竟進步了
多少。訓練營和季前賽或許可以看出端倪。

: Finally, one of Utah's second round draft picks, 6-8 Paul Millsap, may not
: have a huge impact on Utah's season immediately, but he could very well have
: a great future with the franchise.
: Millsap, out of Louisiana Tech., was the leading rebounder in NCAA Division I
: play for the past three seasons. Not only does Millsap have a nose for
: rebounding, he also averaged 19.6 points per game during his final season
: withthe Bulldogs. With a front line as deep as Utah's is, Millsap still has
: a decent shot at cracking the rotation at the four spot.

最後，今年二輪新秀6呎8的Paul Millsap，不會立即為爵士新球季帶衝擊，但他身負
絕學，因此前景十分看好。

Millsap來自路易西安那理工，乃NCAA連續三屆籃板王。他不止籃板強，他在大學最後
一年每場也可得個19.6分。就算是在前場深度極夠的爵士隊，Millsap仍能在大前鋒位
置的輪替上合宜地貢獻。
