James Ham: Coach, you just moved from pick no. 7 to pick no. 10, you picked
up John Salmons and you picked up Jimmer Fredette – how do you see Jimmer
fitting in right away? Is he a role player? Can he compete for a starting
job from day one?
James Ham:教練，從#7降到#10，你挑了鮭魚和Jimmer，你如何看Jimmer的融入？他是個
角色球員嗎？他會從第一天就開始競爭先發位置嗎？
Coach Westphal: I really can’t envision him taking a spot ahead of Tyreke
Evans or Marcus Thornton, assuming we re-sign Marcus. But if he can, he’ll
start. I do think that we can rely on him to play significant minutes. I’d
be really surprised if it doesn’t unfold like that and I think he’s a point
guard. I think he is a point guard who has great leadership skills, great
maturity, great fundamentals. I don’t think there is much concern about him
not being a good player. How great he will become over a period of time,
nobody can tell you that either, but there is nothing that leads me to think
he can’t be a solid contributor right away.
西佛：我不會期待他的位子在reke和MT前面。但如果他能夠贏得位子的話，他就會先發。
我的確認為我們可以依賴他打很多時間，如果不是這樣子的話我會真的很驚訝，而且我認
為他是個pg。我認為他擁有很棒的領導能力，很棒的成熟度，很棒的基礎。我不太認為他
無法成為一名好球員。他會變得多棒我想沒人可以告訴你，但目前沒有東西會讓我覺得他
無法成為一名好的發起者。

James Ham: His leadership skills have been talked about a lot, how do you see
them translating at the next level? Do you think he is going to have trouble
fitting in right off the bat in the locker room?
James Ham: 他的領導能力被談論得許多，你怎麼看待轉換到下個層級？你認為他在休息
室會有融入的麻煩嗎？
Coach Westphal: Well, I just know from talking to Tyreke (Evans) that people
respect Jimmer’s game. You can see that he knows how to handle himself. He
’s got confidence and he certainly has a feel for the game. He plays a
position where leadership is demanded and at the same time, he’s smart
enough to know that he doesn’t just walk into an NBA team and start telling
guys what to do and how to do it. I think he is going to help us because he
does have players’ respect and he can play.
西佛：我只有從和reke的談話中得知大家都很尊敬他的比賽。你可以看見他知道如何掌控
他自己，他很有自信而且他對球隊有感覺，同時他所打的位置需要領袖氣質，他夠聰明去
知道他不是一進NBA就告訴別人要做什麼，該做什麼。我想他會對我們有所幫助，因為他
獲得大家的尊敬，而且他能打。
James Ham: I know for the last couple of years, you have had to answer this
question about whether Tyreke is a point guard, and I know your answer is
that he is just a guard and there is no reason to designate him with an exact
position. But now you bring in a guy like Jimmer who is a point guard.
Obviously he can score, but he is going to play more of a point guard
position for your team. Does his combination of skills, if they translate to
the NBA level, make him the perfect fit next to Tyreke Evans?
James Ham:我知道過去幾年，你一直必須回答關於reke是否是PG的問題，而我知道你的答
案是他就是個後衛，沒有理由將他分派到特定的位置。但現在你選進來像Jimmer這樣的PG
，很明顯他能夠得分，但他更多時間會在你的球隊扮演PG。他的能力是否能夠和reke完美
地配合？
Coach Westphal: I think he fits very well with not just Tyreke, but with
Marcus (Thornton), with Salmons, with the bigs we have up front. I think
that anytime you have somebody who, at their very worst, you have to guard
because they can make shots from anywhere on the court, that’s a plus and he
can play with anybody. On top of that, he’s a very good ball handler and a
good decision maker, so you can run a lot of offense through him and a lot of
offense away from him because he spaces the floor so well. Offensively, that
kid can play with anybody because he can shoot.
西佛：我認為他和任何人都能夠配合，不只是reke，MT、鮭魚和我們所擁有的大個。任何
時間你所擁有的球員，因為他們可以從球場的任何一個地方投射，而且他能夠和任何人共
事。他是個非常棒的持球者和決策者，所以你可以透過他執行許多進攻，而且他可以拉開
範圍，就算不透過他也行。進攻方面，那孩子因為他能投射所以可以和任何人配合。
James Ham: At this point, you just added two rookie point guards in Jimmer
and Isaiah Thomas, and you still have Tyreke who can play the position. Are
you looking to maybe bring in a veteran point guard or are you still
considering Tyreke as the starting point?
James Ham:在這個時間點，剛增加了兩名菜鳥PG-Jimmer和Isaiah，還有reke也可以打那
位置。你有在嘗試著要再增加一名PG老將還是你仍然認為reke是先發PG？
Coach Westphal: Our roster isn’t complete right now. We don’t know for
sure how the roster is going to end up. We need to make sure we secure
Marcus Thornton. We hope we can bring back Sam (Dalembert), and if we can’
t, we need some help up front. Certainly we are in a position to believe we
can add help up front. When I look at our 1,2,3 spot, I don’t necessarily
believe we need to add anybody. If it plays out when they get on the floor
that we do, then we reserve the right to change our mind. But I think we are
pretty well-situated there.
西佛：我們的輪替現在還不完整。我們無法確定知道輪替會怎樣，我們需要去確認我們留
下了MT。我們希望我們可以帶回山米，如果不行的話，我們需要增加前場。確實我們相信
我們可以新增前場。當我在看我們的1、2、3號時，我不覺得我們需要再去增加。上場之後
，我們會保留改變主意的權力，但我想目前滿不錯的。
So for all of you Jimmer Fredette fans out there, it looks like the plan is
to get him some substantial minutes early on in his career, but from the
bench, not as the starter. I agree with Coach that what makes Jimmer
instantly serviceable is his ability to shoot from anywhere. If he can space
the floor it should really open up the offense for everyone, but specifically
Evans and Cousins. There is no question that Jimmer has confidence in
himself, but it will be interesting to see how he integrates himself into an
NBA locker room early in his career.
所以對於所有的Jimmer迷，看起來計劃是在他的生涯前期會有滿多的時間，但是板凳不是
先發。我同意教練因為Jimmer到處都能射所以是可用之兵。如果他能夠拉大範圍，那真的
能夠為每個人打開空間，特別是reke和表弟。毫無疑問Jimmer很有自信，但在他生涯初期
看他如何融入NBA的休息室是滿有趣的。
Saturday morning we will run part two of the Coach Westphal summer series
where he will answer some questions about the acquisition of John Salmons and
the team’s chance of retaining Samuel Dalembert.
