Power Rankings: March Madness and goodness, badness of going pro early
By Dave Del Grande
Special to CBSSports.com
Updated March 16
Of the eight collegians who skipped out on their college teammates early to
become top 10 picks in the NBA Draft last June, seven now must deal with
accepting the blame for their schools missing the NCAA tournament this
season.
去年六月選秀中的前10名當中的8位大學輟學生
有7位將會被指責讓他們的母校無法進入NCAA的64強季後賽
You've got to know that some wish they had the decision to do over again.
不瞞您說,有些人還真的希望能會到學校繼續當大學生
Which? Glad you asked me, because had you asked them, no doubt they'd have
stuck with the company line: "I enjoy being a millionaire."
有哪些人呢?很高興你問了我
因為假如你問他們,他們都會回答你"我喜歡當百萬富翁的感覺"
True, but competitors tend to like winning about as much as they like money
-- especially when the money is going to come eventually anyway. That's why I
have to believe at least three of June's best of the lottery wish they could
trade uniforms right about how.
這感覺是真的很好,但這些競爭者除了賺錢之外,也很重視贏球的滋味
尤其薪水遲早會匯到他們的戶頭
這就是我相信樂透選秀中的其中三位球員,會希望互相交換球衣(ㄑㄧㄡˊ ㄉㄨㄟˋ)
的原因
Let's examine them in draft order:
就讓我一一檢查好了
1. Blake Griffin, Oklahoma.
The top pick makes the most money, so the former OU standout -- and injured
Clippers forward -- has that going for him. Also, had he stuck around college
one more year, chances are he'd land in New Jersey or Minnesota, less desirable
destinations than L.A.
In retrospect: Good choice.
狀元可以賺到最多的新秀約
所以這位OU的模範生,也是受傷中的快艇前鋒,目前情勢完全順著他發展
但假如他決定繼續在大學留一年,選中他的將會是比快艇沒有明確目標的
籃網或灰狼
總結:好選擇
2. Hasheem Thabeet, Connecticut.
He's been so awful for the Grizzlies, you'd think another year of college
seasoning would've done him good. That said, it might also expose him for what
he is -- a backup NBA center. He was wise to run to the money.
In retrospect: Good choice.
他在灰熊沒有很好的發揮,你可能認為再大學多打一年會對他更好
但這也可能會證明他只能打替補中鋒,所以先去賺錢對他來說是明智的選擇
總結:好選擇
3. James Harden, Arizona State.
The Oklahoma City super-sub is the only top-seven pick who will be going to
the playoffs this season. The way the Thunder are constructed, get used to it.
He could not have landed in a better situation.
In retrospect: Good choice.
這位雷霆隊的超級替補是前七順位中唯一會在本季打季後賽的人
目前雷霆已經重建完成,也已經習慣贏球
他不可能在其他球隊得到更好的環境
總結:好選擇
4. Tyreke Evans, Memphis.
Actually, nobody is blaming Evans for Memphis' plunge from NCAA power to NIT
headliner. John Calipari is getting that heat. There are better NBA homes than
Sacramento, but it was 70 degrees on Selection Sunday when the Kings beat the
Timberwolves.
In retrospect: Good choice.
事實上,並沒有人因為曼大本季從NCAA強權淪落到只能打NIT而責怪小E
他們罵的是跳槽到肯大的Calipari
聯盟中比沙加緬度好的主場不少,但是上星期天國王打敗灰狼時
當地溫度有華氏70度
總結:好選擇
5. Ricky Rubio, Spain.
Think he could have put an NCAA program on the map?
你覺得他適合NCAA的訓練方式嗎?
6. Jonny Flynn, Syracuse.
Getting drafted onto the same T-Wolves team as Rubio had to sting Flynn in
the first place. Then realizing the Orange would be far and away the NCAA
favorite had he stuck around has to have him itching to face Vermont on Friday
rather than the Lakers.
In retrospect: Bad choice.
與西班牙小神童一起選入灰狼隊對他而言已經夠打擊他了
更諷刺的是,雪大在NCAA季後賽有不錯的籤位
這可能會讓他希望星期五的比賽是對Vermont(雪大週五的對手),而不是湖人
總結:壞選擇
7. Stephen Curry, Davidson.
The BMOC couldn't wait to see his old pals in the Southern Conference
tournament when the Warriors visited Charlotte, only to find out the Wildcats
couldn't even get to the quarterfinals. Such is life without Curry, who now
probably would pay to have given the college postseason one more go.
In retrospect: Bad choice.
這位大學風雲人物(BMOC = big man on campus)在勇士出征山貓時
相當期待與老朋友見面,卻發現大衛森山貓隊根本連聯盟8強賽都打不進去
但假如小咖哩在大學多留一年,他或許能再度帶領球隊打入64強
總結:壞選擇
8. Jordan Hill, Arizona.
The big-city flop in New York has found life in Houston, where he figures to
be a contributing factor in whatever run the Rockets make in the playoffs.
It (and the money) sure beats what the Arizona program has turned into.
In retrospect: Good choice.
這位在尼克隊讓人失望的前鋒,在休士頓終於找到第二次機會
因為他發現自己將會是火箭能否打進季後賽的關鍵人物
這個機會(與賺錢)明顯擊敗了目前亞大的局面
總結:好選擇
9. DeMar DeRozan, USC.
Let's see ... an NCAA program on probation or an NBA team in Canada?
I'm guessing if the one-and-done collegian could do it over again, he'd try
Plan C: Europe. That said, starting for an NBA playoff team and making money
(legally) is a whole lot more desirable than what's going on in the Land of
Troy.
In retrospect: Good choice.
是要被NCAA留校查看,還是要加入一支在加拿大的NBA球隊呢?
我覺得這位只在大學打一年的新人假如有機會再選一次的話
他會有另一個選擇:去歐洲
換句話說,在一個能夠打進季後賽的球隊展開職業生涯並(合法地)賺錢
對他來說會比在南加大發生的鳥事更有吸引力
總結:好選擇
10. Brandon Jennings, Italy.
Two years ago, the prep standout opted to go abroad instead of the University
of Arizona. He's now in Milwaukee, playing for a playoff contender.
What's not to like about that? I'll tell you what: He could have
single-handedly delivered the Wildcats into the Final Four and then possibly
landed in his hometown of L.A. for his pro career.
In retrospect: Bad choice.
兩年前,在預校表現傑出的健寧公主
決定去歐洲放洋,而不是加入亞利桑那大學
現在,他人在密爾瓦基,帶領球隊角逐季後賽名額
這有什麼不好的地方嗎?
讓我告訴你好了:他其實可以一手將亞大帶入NCAA四強賽
並且光榮的回到洛城家鄉展開職業生涯
總結:壞選擇
Make no mistake about this: The Thunder have arrived and are knocking on the
door to be a top-five team in the CBSSports.com NBA Power Rankings:
接下來,你沒看錯:雷霆已經將排名提升為可以挑戰聯盟前五強的球隊
