: [ 太陽 - Josh Smith 天分驚人 ]
: Josh Smith 在太陽測試所展現的運動力驚人，太陽體育館用來量彈
: 跳高度的儀器更首次因此延伸測量範圍。
: 這個六呎八的前鋒垂直起跳達到三十七又四分之三英吋，太陽教練
: 稱 Josh 是他所見過跳得最高的球員之一，天分無與倫比，但是
: Josh 還是有許多讓球團猶疑的地方，例如他的決心與努力，不過太
: 陽教練就這點替 Josh 作了辯護。
太陽隊有可能會拿他們的第七順位去選Josh Smith，
(But he is a perplexing talent.)「但是他的天份令人存疑」？？？
他是亞特蘭大附近第二好的高中球員，僅次於Dwight Howard。
他也被認為是美國高中球員裡面潛力第三好的人，但單就身體素質而言，他甚至被
認為是今年選秀會裡面最好的一個。
So where does that leave the Suns, for whom Smith, a 6-foot-8 swingman,
is working out today? 「太陽怎麼能夠錯過這位6-8的搖擺人呢？」？？
太陽隊已經是全NBA最年輕的一支球隊了，因此他們在評估年輕球員的同時，也得注
意這些年輕人是否能夠努力一致。
Smith也承認他的潛力尚未完全展現：
「我認為我可以在某些地方做出貢獻。我知道我還有很多東西必須學習，但我優異的
運動力是我最大的優勢。」
優異的跳躍力讓adidas以六年1200萬的代價請Smith代言他們的球鞋，據說他跳起來
的時候手肘能夠碰到籃框....
現在有山貓、巫師、老鷹這三支選秀順位在太陽之前的球隊可能會想要他。
他的經紀人是這麼說的：
「Josh是一名驚人的運動員，而且他的能力比大家所想像的還要好多了。每個人都認
為他太嫩了，但至少他知道自己還有很多要學習的。。
Smith覺得他高三那年轉學到prep power Oak Hill Academy的選擇讓他為進入NCAA做
好了準備。
他曾經到西班牙參加比賽，他所屬的球隊在一連串的比賽之中的戰績是 38勝0敗，即
使是大學生也未必能夠有此表現。
他也不會對他的缺點視而不見。他知道他在球的處理、投籃、防守、以及尋找機會這
些方面的不足，因此他這兩年都利用暑假的時間待在休士頓並且請John Lucas陪他做
訓練。
他現在正在和Cuttino Mobley、Damon Stoudamire以及其他人鬥牛：
「能夠和他們對抗讓我對自己感到安心了一點，但我也從中了解了我還有很多需要加
強的地方，以及如何利用一些小技巧來製造得分機會。」
至於能否融入 NBA這個大環境，Smith說他父親在他加入 NBA的前兩年將會與他同住。
「你們不需要擔心我會碰到這些麻煩。」

以下是原文，有興趣可以看一看
Josh Smith is a viable possibility should the Suns hang on to their No.7
pick in the NBA draft. But he is a perplexing talent.
He's only the second-best high school player from the Atlanta area,
behind Dwight Howard. He is listed as the No. 3 U.S. high school prospect.
But he's also considered the draft's most athletic player.
So where does that leave the Suns, for whom Smith, a 6-foot-8 swingman,
is working out today?
The Suns, the NBA's youngest team this season, would have to be
comfortable with not only going young again, but with a player whose
consistent effort has been questioned.
"I admit I have some raw potential," Smith said.
"...I think I can be somewhat of an immediate contributor. I know I have
a lot to learn, but I have some advantages because of my athleticism."
We're talking springs that put his elbows above the rim. He was
attractive enough for adidas to sign him to a reported six-year,
$12 million shoe deal. He has worked out for Charlotte, Washington and
Atlanta, which have the three picks just ahead of Phoenix.
"Josh is an amazing athlete, but he is a lot more skilled than people
give him credit for," Smith's agent, Brian Dyke, said.
"Everybody thinks he's raw, but he knows he's got a lot to learn."
Smith's notion is that his senior-year transfer from his Atlanta-area
school to prep power Oak Hill Academy in Virginia made him as prepared
as a player who spent a season in college.
He was away from home, played in Spain, played on back-to-back days and
played more games on a 38-0 team than any college player did.
He is not blind to his deficiencies either. Knowing there are questions
about his ball handling, shooting, ability to create shots and defense,
Smith is spending his second summer working out with ex-NBA coach and
player John Lucas in Houston.
There, he has gone head to head with Cuttino Mobley and Damon Stoudamire,
among others.
"It helped reassure me a bit that I can play with them, but it also
showed me I had a lot to learn and that people have a lot of tricks to get
open and score," Smith said.
As for social acclimation, Smith said his father will live with him for
his first two years in the NBA.
"They don't have to worry about me getting in trouble," Smith said.
