NBA Rumors – Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls & Los Angeles Lakers Interested
in Signing Wayne Ellington
热火,公牛及湖人传出有兴趣签Wayne Ellington
There are still players worth signing in the NBA free agents market, and
Wayne Ellington just might be one of them. After being released by the
Sacramento Kings for cap reasons, the shooting guard might end up playing for
the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls or the Los Angeles Lakers; all in need of a
backup at that position.
Ellington被国王释出后, 他对于SG深度较浅的球队如热火,公牛及湖人而言,
应是值得签下的人选
The 28th overall pick in the 2009 draft, Ellington was part of the North
Carolina team that won the national title that year. He began his career with
the Minnesota Timberwolves but besides his shooting ability from long range
(a career 43.8% shooter from deep) he has never been able to establish
himself as anything more.
简言之, 他的价值仍只在外线火力
Ellington has never been a starter, but until last season, he was always
getting somewhere between 15-20 minutes a night. A solid bench player,
constantly delivering a couple of 3′s per game. Last season with the Mavs he
played in only 45 games and averaged just 8.7 minutes a night, scoring 3.2
points per game. He did hit 44.8% of his 3-point attempts, but that was the
kind of season that’s usually followed by finding yourself playing overseas
or in the D-League.
Ellington在有限的上场时间内,算是个挺不错的板凳球员, 不过去年在小牛的表现,
看起来就像随时会消失在NBA, 跑去海外或NBDL的脚色
But there’s always need for good shooters in the NBA, even if it’s in a
very small role. Ellington might even get the chance to return to his playing
time from his first few seasons on the Timberwolves if the situation is right.
Right now the race for backup to Dwynae Wade is completely open. Shannon
Brown and Reggie Williams will be competing for that spot, but Ellington has
a chance to beat out both of them. The Chicago Bulls are going to keep
starting Jimmy Butler, but it’s pretty thin behind him if Tony Snell is to
start playing his original, small forward position. The Lakers do have Kobe
Bryant to start but who knows how bad or good his injury situation is, and
Xavier Henry is his only backup right now.
当你有一手够水准的外线, 你总是会有机会在NBA存活, 如果有适当的舞台,
Ellington是有机会回复到当初在灰狼还算亮眼的绩效,
在热火,公牛及湖人这三队, 由于SG深度欠缺, 他都将有机会去竞争第一替补!
Ellington won’t get too many chances to remain in the NBA. After not really
delivering anything special through the first five seasons in the league,
he'll have training camp and preseason with some team to prove he deserves a
shot to remain in the league, or start going through the process of
International or “minor league” basketball, hoping for someone to remember
him down the line and give him a shot.
Ellington必须设法在训练营或季前赛拿出好表现, 五年来起起伏伏剩余的机会已不多,
若没把握住他恐将开始"流浪之路", 翘首期待着再被看到的一天
