[翻譯]Kragthorpe: Brewer看起來很多方面像 Snyder

[nobody (飛龍在天大人造也)]

After spending much of this month trying to remind everyone that the NBA
draft is overvalued and overhyped, in defense of their poor execution lately
in the middle of the first round, the Jazz went ahead Wednesday night and
staged another party anyway.

  在花了很多時間來提醒大家 NBA選秀是個被過份評價和過份期待的，並
且為自己過去幾年第一輪中段的爛選秀辯護的情況之下，不管怎樣，爵士
隊在禮拜三晚上走上了舞台，並且又選了一次。

   They gave away hot dogs and drinks, brought in the Jazz Dancers to
entertain the Delta Center crowd briefly and hawked season tickets, all while
performing this tricky stunt of selling hope and yet not creating
unreasonable expectations.

  他們送了一堆熱狗和飲料，還叫爵士啦啦隊來給這些有季票的觀眾，這
一切有的沒的小技倆都是在給觀眾希望，還有一些不理性的期待。

   Into this arena of mixed messages stepped first-round pick Ronnie Brewer,
a swingman from Arkansas. Or maybe he ran, jumped or flew into the
organization, based on all the gushing about his athletic ability.

  當第一輪的 Brewer ，他是阿肯色的搖擺人，被選的時候，在場館裡面
的人們有許多不同的評價。或者是他跑、跳、飛進了這個球隊裡面，是因
為 的運動力。

   "He's got size, he's got strength," said Jazz vice president Kevin
O'Connor. "He gives us something we didn't have. . . . He gives us exactly
what we need."
   Oh, I'm sorry. Those were recycled quotes from O'Connor two years ago
regarding Kirk Snyder, a guard with basically the same skill set who lasted
one season with the team as a No. 16 pick, having also left college after his
junior season.

  「他有高度，他有能力，」 KOC說。「他給我們一些我們沒有的東西..
他給我們我們確實需要的。」

  喔，對不起。這寫是 KOC兩年前對於某個叫做 Synder 的回收過的話罷
了，他是一個基本上一模一樣的能力，並且在隊上待了一年的人，同樣的
也是在大三的時候就跑進了 NBA選秀。


   So, my review of the Jazz's '06 draft? Mixed, what else?
   I'm quite intrigued by the second-round choices: another Illinois point
guard (Dee Brown) to join Deron Williams and another Louisiana Tech forward
(Paul Millsap), 21 years later. Then again, the Kris Humphries story is a
history lesson about the danger of any Karl Malone comparisons on draft night.
   The part of Brewer's game that could be interesting, as defined by
O'Connor, deals with his ability to guard perimeter shooters. Wow. Could this
mean the end of the traditional just-hope-they-miss defensive strategy?

  所以，我對於爵士的06年選秀看法是如何？複雜的，還有勒？

  我對於第二輪還蠻陰謀論 /困惑的：又一個依利諾的控衛和 Deron聚在
一起，還有另一個 Louisiana Tech 的前鋒，在 21 年之後加入。又一次
，我們看到一個 Humphries的歷史課又告訴我們，另一個在選秀當日被評
比為馬龍的危險又出現了。

  Brewer的能力會是很有趣的，據 KOC的說法，是評價他防守外線投籃者
的能力。哇。這可能是結束那個「拜託你不要進」的傳統防守戰略時代嗎？


   No question, the Jazz needed athletic
ability. Brewer will improve that quotient, although the bench-pressing and
standing-broad-jumping performances O'Connor was raving about sounded more
like NFL draft credentials. Maybe they will translate into NBA-level skills,
but who knows?
   At least, O'Connor and coach Jerry Sloan were sticking to their recent
theme about the vagaries of picking in the middle of the first round, not
trying to claim they had made a remarkable, franchise-changing discovery.

  的確，爵士隊需要運動力。 Brewer 會在這方面給我們幫助，雖然被那
個 KOC誇讚的臥推和助跑跳的表現，看起來比較像是在選個 NFL的球員。
也許這會被轉換成 NBA等級的能力，不過誰知道？

  至少， KOC和 Sloan教練仍然死硬的在他們這幾年鳥蛋的第一輪中段選
秀上繼續著，並沒有試著去宣稱自己在做一個值得注意的，改變整個球隊
的新發現等等。

   "I don't think that anybody at the 14th pick is NBA-ready," O'Connor said.
   "You have to remember, he's still a young guy," Sloan said. "The work has
to come from the player. We can't make anybody play."
   There's considerable evidence of that.

  「我不認為任何 14 順位的選秀球員是即戰力，」 KOC說。

  「你必須要記住一件事，他還是個年輕人，」 Sloan說。「這方面的努
力是要從球員們自發的。我們不能幫任何球員打球。」

  這是某種重要的證據。

   Many of the Delta Center attendees moaned when J.J. Redick went to Orlando
three slots ahead of the Jazz. They wanted somebody with a pure shooting
stroke, and they got a guy with a style he describes as "unorthodox." They
wanted Johnny Miller; they got Jim Furyk.
   "It might look funny," Brewer said of his shot, "but it goes in."
   Yet there's no way to beautify this pick. Unlike Redick, Brewer is not
going to come into this league and suddenly hit a bunch of three-pointers.
The best Jazz followers can hope is that he keeps the other guys from making
as many of them.

  很多達塔中心前來觀看的人們在 JJ 在爵士隊前三個順位被魔術被幹走
的時候嘆息了一下。他們想要一個有純粹的投射能力的，而且他們得到了
一個「異教徒」。他們要的是強尼米勒，而他們得到了吉姆福瑞客。

  「這看起來可能很有趣。」 Brewer 談到他的投射（姿勢）的時候說。
「不過管他的，他會進。」

  喔，同樣的我們也不能美化這個選秀順位。不像 Redick ，Brewer不會
一進來聯盟就突然幹了一堆三分。爵士隊球迷們能夠希望的是，他能夠讓
後面的人不要繼續和他一樣了........。
