SI.com is proud to offer our list of the Top 100 NBA players of 2016, an
exhaustive exercise that seeks to define who will be the league's best
players in the 2015-16 season.
运动画刊对自己能列出前100名的球员感到光荣，这是相当困难的
Given the wide variety of candidates involved and the deep analytical
resources available, no single, definitive criterion was used to form this
list. Instead, rankings were assigned based on a fluid combination of
subjective assessment and objective data, including per-game statistics
and advanced measures like Player Efficiency Rating, Win Shares,
Real Plus-Minus, WARP, Net Rating and Synergy Sports data. This list is an
earnest attempt to evaluate each player in a vacuum. As a result, future
prospects beyond this season did not play a part in the ranking process,
while the influence of team context was minimized to whatever extent was
possible. Our sole concern was how players are likely to perform this season
alone.
就如我上篇所说排名是需要考虑很多因子，像是PER、win shares等等
并将团队因素降到最低
Injuries and injury risks are thus an inevitable component of that judgment,
and chronic concerns or repetitive absences earned demerits. Past performance
(postseason included) weighed heavily in our assessment, with a skew toward
the recent. First-year players—including delayed rookies like Sixers center
Joel Embiid—were not included for that reason, among others. A predictive
quality also came into play with the anticipated improvement of certain
younger players, as well as the possible decline of aging veterans. Salary
was not taken into consideration, even in those instances below where a
contract is mentioned. Otherwise, players were ordered based on their
complete games—offense and defense both, along with everything in between.
考虑的部分还有:
1.伤病史
2.过去的大量数据
3.新人则是考虑他能进步的空间、老人则是考虑到退化的可能
4.不考虑薪资
Naturally, rounding out the top 100 included some tough calls. The list of
notable omissions is dotted with players both well regarded and largely
deserving, though lines ultimately had to be drawn somewhere—in many cases
based on extremely minor differences. For those interested in understanding
more about the ranking process and the limitations of this exercise in
general, make a quick detour here.
Please feel free to take a look back to SI.com’s Top 100 Players of 2015 and
our Top 100 Players of 2014. This year’s list includes each player’s ranking
from last year for comparison purposes.
可参考去年或前年的百大，今年也会列出排名变化
No.100
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Bucks | Forward | Last year: —
Because it has happened in front of our eyes, one galloping coast-to-coast
drive at a time, it’s easy to overlook just how quickly Giannis
Antetokounmpo made the leap from “long-term project” to “quality
contributor.” Although Antetokounmpo won’t turn 21 until December, he
logged 2,541 minutes in 2014–15, fourth-most among NBA players under 22
years of age. He also ranked in the top 10 among small forwards in Defensive
Real Plus-Minus, no easy task for a second-year player. Together, that
qualifies as instant impact for the East’s No. 6 playoff seed, not the
“upside and potential” that was expected when Milwaukee plucked him from
the Greek second division in the 2013 draft.
字母哥的进步有目共睹的，快速的从"球队的中长期的建队基石"转成"水准之上的贡献者"
虽然他还不满21岁，他却已经打了2541分钟，在不满22岁的球员中排名第四。
他也被评为DRPM前十的小前锋，做为一个第二年的球员这是相当不容易的。
他的贡献也使公鹿今年得以第六顺位进到季后赛。
Antetokounmpo’s length and versatility are his defining characteristics, and
he finds a natural home in coach Jason Kidd’s pressure-heavy defense, which
surprisingly ranked No. 2 in the league last season. There’s still plenty of
room for refinement on the offensive end: his shooting range extends, well,
about one long arm’s length from the rim, and he hasn’t yet developed into
a credible threat in isolation situations or pick-and-rolls. Given his
ability to scale his per-minute production and improve his shooting efficiency
last season, the Bucks have every reason to believe that Antetokounmpo is
headed for even bigger things in Year 3. His real explosion has yet to come.
– B.G.
字母哥的身材使他在kidd的高压防守有相当好的表现
在进攻仍然有进步的空间，扩大射程范围。虽然有很长的手臂，但是在iso或者P&R，还没
造成防守端的威胁，但相信每一季都可以有所进展。
2014-15: 12.7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 2.6 APG, 49.1FG%, 15.9 3P%
Advanced: 14.8 PER, Win Shares: 6.2, +0.87 RPM
No.99
Wesley Matthews
Mavs | Guard | Last year: 72
There are plenty of good reasons that the Mavericks defied conventional
wisdom by making perhaps the off-season’s boldest bet on Wesley Matthews:
his work ethic is beyond reproach, he’s a natural locker room leader, he
perfectly fits the coveted high-volume 3-and-D prototype, and he has
meaningful playoff experience under his belt as he approaches what should be
his prime years. There’s a chance that Dallas gets its money’s worth over
the course of Matthews’s four-year, $70 million contract, but it will
require the 6’5’’ shooting guard to fully recover from an Achilles tear
he suffered in March ... quickly.
Matthews有很足够的理由让小牛愿意赌在他身上:
1.他的敬业精神无可挑剔
2.他是一个好的休息室领导
3.摇摆人
4.丰富的季后赛经验
matthews是值得小牛花四年7000万的球员，但是要找到一个6'5的得分后卫填补matthews
受伤期间的空缺
Throughout his career, which saw him spend the last five seasons as a starter
in Portland, the undrafted Matthews has gotten by more on determination rather
than pure athleticism. It’s not yet clear how the first major injury of his
pro tenure will impact his game. Will he still be quick enough laterally to
stick with elite ball-handlers? Will he be able to compensate for some of the
drive-and-kick that Dallas loses with Monta Ellis’s departure, or will he be
forced to transition his offensive game into even more of a spot-up approach?
Will he be able to move freely off the ball to generate clean looks on one
end while chasing lead scorers through endless screens on the other? While
Matthews has been incredibly optimistic about returning early in the 2015–16
season, history suggests that the Mavericks might need to wait until at least
2016–17 to enjoy his full production. For that reason, he slots on this list
roughly 30 spots below where he would have been if fully healthy. – B.G.
Matthews过去五年在拓荒者担任先发，身为落选的他比谁都努力。
但是没有人知道这次的大伤，会不会影响到他的表现? 他能不能填补Ellis走掉后的位子?
因为大概要到明年才能回归的他，所以他这次排比较后面。
2014-15: 15.9 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.3 APG, 44.8 FG%, 38.9 3P%
Advanced: 16.1 PER, Win Shares: 6.2, +3.65 RPM
No.98
Donatas Motiejunas
Rockets | Forward | Last year: —
One of the better teams in the West lost Dwight Howard for 41 games last
season and survived the fallout to claim the No. 2 seed. Motiejunas was a
crucial reason why; not only did the third-year big man perform admirable
within Houston’s team defense, but his post work helped carry the Rockets in
those moments when James Harden needed relief. Already Motiejunas is a
starting-caliber big who could help in a variety of roles, including as a
floor spacer from the corners. Were it not for the fact he rebounds like a
wing, Motiejunas would have a compelling case to climb up this list based on
his game’s balance. To be a two-way player at 7-feet tall gives Motiejunas a
rare, compelling appeal. – R.M.
去年Howard缺阵了41场，火箭却没有掉出第二种子，D-Mo是一大因素。
不只是团队防守，他是低位也帮助了harden。D-Mo在各方面都能帮助到球队，包含为球队
清出空间，加上篮板帮助他提高了很多名次。
2014-15: 12.0 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.8 APG, 50.4 FG%, 36.8 3P%
Advanced: 14.4 PER, Win Shares: 4.7, +0.09 RPM
