Mock Draft 6.1: New picks for Knicks, Sixers in top-10 shakeup
https://goo.gl/c9Xxf1 (updated 6/9)
(节录内文前十顺位预测简单翻译)
1. Boston Celtics (via Nets)
=== Markelle Fultz ===
Washington Freshman Guard
Fultz was in Boston on Monday and Tuesday for interviews, medical testing and
a workout. The information will be critical for Boston in a few ways.
He didn't do medical testing at the combine, so this will give the Celtics
their first good look at his health. With Lonzo Ball refusing to work out for
the Celtics, it gives Fultz a chance to solidify the thinking that he's the
best prospect for the team.
Fultz has been the top guy on the Celtics' board for a while, but he's not
the only player they're considering. Ball, De'Aaron Fox, Josh Jackson and
Jayson Tatum are also in the mix, according to sources.
A strong workout and interview could help seal the deal for Fultz.
Fultz前往波士顿进行面试、健康检查、试训。
而球哥拒绝波士顿试训邀请，使得Fultz有机会提前锁定状元。
不过波士顿还是有在考虑名单中其他人像是球哥、Fox、JJ、Tatum。
若Fultz试训结果正面那么状元之争有可能尘埃落定。
2. Los Angeles Lakers
=== Lonzo Ball ===
UCLA Freshman Guard
The Lakers are going out of their way to stifle talk that Ball to L.A. is a
done deal. Partially it's about controlling the narrative and their draft
destiny, but it's also around some genuine disagreements in the front office
about who's the best pick for the Lakers' future.
Fox and Jackson have a real shot at going No. 2. Ball is the favorite, but
he's far from a lock.
湖人没有把话说死一定会选Ball。
球团内部对于#2谁会是湖人的未来有不同意见。
球哥仍然是榜眼热门，但要说定案还早，Fox和Jackson也有可能冲上来。
3. Philadelphia 76ers (via Kings)
Josh Jackson
=== Kansas Freshman Forward ===
The chances that the Sixers draft a guard or a wing are high; the question
appears to be which one.
There's quite a debate going on between the front office and coaching staff
about whom they should take. Best player available? That's probably Jackson
or Fox. Their elite toughness, athleticism and defensive potential are very
attractive. The problem is that both players struggle as shooters and the
Sixers need backcourt players who can stroke it.
Best fit among available players? Malik Monk or Dennis Smith. Both players
are athletic, shoot well and play off the ball (a must given head coach Brett
Brown's decision to make? Ben Simmons?the Sixers' primary ball handler).
The Sixers still have several workouts to gauge the best fit, so it's
premature to put a solid favorite here. Based on the sheer level of
admiration for a particular player, it's between Fox and Jackson. I'm giving
Jackson the edge right now, but it's a slight edge.
七六人需要一个侧翼或是后卫，但制服组和教练团对于要选谁有些意见。
选最好的球员？那会是Jackson或是Fox。他们够硬、运动能力强、防守好。
但他们都缺少稳定投射能力，而这是七六人目前最需要的。
选最适合球队的球员？那可能是Malik Monk或是Dennis Smith。他们投篮棒也能打无球。
七六人还有一些试训让他们可以评估要选谁，不过目前来看Jackson稍微领先Fox。
4. Phoenix Suns
=== De'Aaron Fox ===
Kentucky Freshman Guard
The Suns are hoping that Ball falls to No. 4. They like him and think he's a
good fit in their system alongside Devin Booker.
If he's not there, it will be among Jackson, Fox and Tatum. With Jackson off
the board, Fox seems like an ideal fit. The Suns are loaded with offensive
talent. Getting Fox's defensive versatility, intensity and playmaking should
really improve the Suns and open the door to an Eric Bledsoe trade.
太阳会希望Ball可以掉到第四，他们觉得球哥配上Booker在太阳会很棒。
如果Ball没有掉下来，就是Jackson、Fox、Tatum选一个。若Jackson已经被选走，那麽
Fox看起来最为适合。太阳的进攻天份已经足够了，Fox能为他们带来防守、激情、组织。
如此一来Bledsoe有可能被交易。
5. Sacramento Kings (via 76ers)
=== Jayson Tatum ===
Duke Freshman Forward
Fox came in to work out with the Kings this week, and there is a strong
impulse to get him. They think he's a nice complement to Buddy Hield and he
would really ramp up the rebuilding of their culture. The problem is that
Sacramento has become his floor, not his ceiling.?
The Kings also like Jackson, but he too looks like he'll be off the board
before they draft.
There's talk inside the organization about combining picks Nos. 5 and 10 to
move up in the draft to secure Fox. If they found a taker, that would be a
high price to pay to move up two to three spots.
Other options include Tatum, Jonathan Isaac and Smith. All three players fit
a need for the Kings.
Tatum or Isaac would be a nice long-term replacement for Rudy Gay. Smith is
the next-best point guard on the board. Right now Tatum has the edge. He's
the safest of the three guys.
Fox来到国王试训，国王很想要他，觉得Fox加上Hield非常适合，而且他也能帮助国王
重新建立起新的球队文化。问题是最差的情况下Fox才有可能会掉到第五顺位。
国王也喜欢Jackson，但看起来Jackson不会掉到第五。
内部有用#5 + #10来换#3的想法确保能选到Fox，但这付出的代价颇高(只提高两个顺位)。
其他人选像是Tatum、Isaac、Smith都满适合国王的。
Tatum或Isaac会是顶替Gay位置的好人选，而Smith是这里可以选到最好的控卫。
目前Tatum领先其他两个人，也是这里最保险的选择。
6. Orlando Magic
=== Jonathan Isaac ===
Florida State Freshman Forward
With team president Jeff Weltman and GM John Hammond now running the show in
Orlando, you can be sure that they won't be afraid to gamble. Both of them
love long, athletic and versatile players with upside, and Isaac has as much
upside as anyone in the draft.
He's also one of the biggest risks. In Milwaukee, Hammond and Weltman bet on
Giannis Antetokounmpo?and they won't be afraid to take Isaac.
魔术不害怕在这里赌一把，他们喜欢有运动力、多功能又有未来性的大个，Isaac正符合。
但Isaac也是风险很高的选择，不过他们总裁跟GM在密尔瓦基时就赌过字母哥了，
他们不会害怕在Isaac身上赌一把。
7. Minnesota Timberwolves
=== Lauri Markkanen ===
Arizona Freshman Forward
We've been back and forth between Isaac and Markkanen here for several mock
drafts.
Both are excellent fits for the Wolves, who are looking for a stretch-4.
Isaac would offer more upside. Markkanen is more ready now and a more proven
shooter.
With Isaac off the board, this looks like Markkanen's spot.
在之前的预测第七顺位不是Isaac就是Markkanen。
他们两者都很适合灰狼，灰狼正在找寻延伸四号位人选。
Isaac有较佳的未来性，而Markkanen有较好的即战力且投射能力较佳。
Issac在这之前被选走的话，看起来灰狼会选择Markkanen。
8. New York Knicks
=== Malik Monk ===
Kentucky Freshman Guard
The Knicks are looking at a number of backcourt players, including Monk,
Smith and Frank Ntilikina.
Monk may be the highest upside player and best fit of the group. If he lands
here, Knicks fans will love him when he heats up.
尼克要在众多后卫中选择一人，包括Monk、Smith、Ntilikina。
Monk看起来有较佳的发展性且更适合尼克的队形，若Monk进入状况的话球迷们会很爱他。
9. Dallas Mavericks
=== Dennis Smith ===
NC State Freshman Guard
The Mavs need a young point guard to build around and would be happy to take
the best one that falls to them at No. 9.
Ntilikina has great size for his position, plays with strength and displays
a great feel. He's also an improving shooter. He reminds me a bit of George
Hill. Smith has more athleticism, shoots it better and is more NBA ready, but
does not quite possess the same feel for the game.
The Mavs have scouted Ntilikina more than any other team in the league, but
I think it might be hard for them to pass on Smith if he's there. He's really
good and in a normal draft would be a top-five pick.
小牛需要一个控卫并且围绕着他重建，他们会在#9选一个最好的控卫。
法国软豆作为一个PG有很棒的体型和力量、球感佳、投射能力也在进步中。
让我想起George Hill。而Smith有更好的运动能力、投射能力、即战力。但对比赛的感觉
略逊。
小牛对于法软的观察和研究更胜其他球队，但如果Smith还在，很难跳过他。
Smith在正常的选秀年会是个前五顺位人选。
10. Sacramento Kings (via Pelicans)
=== Frank Ntilikina ===
France Age:18 Guard
The Kings will have to be pretty happy with this haul if they end up with
Tatum and Ntilikina.
Ntilikina could be their starting point guard of the future. He's more raw
than the other elite point guard prospects, but at this point in the draft
he's a great get. Other prospects that will get a look here include Luke
Kennard, Donovan Mitchell and Harry Giles.
如果最终可以在#5和#10选到Tatum和Ntilikina，国王会非常高兴。
Ntilikina会是国王将来的先发控卫，虽然和同届其他菁英级控卫比起来他较为粗糙生嫩，
但能在这边选到他非常棒。其他可能的人选还有Luke Kennard、Donovan Mitchell和Harry
Giles。
心得：
揪竟能不能这么顺利？
还是该冲个#3或是#1？
