No.88
Isaiah Thomas
Celtics | Guard | Last year: 90
Generously listed at 5’9”, Isaiah Thomas is one-half of an incredible
player. A skilled pick-and-roll point guard who used a greater percentage of
his team’s possessions than any point guard not named Russell Westbrook,
Thomas generally manages to stay on the good side of the line that separates
“does a lot” and “tries to do too much.” He’s a prototypical quality
Sixth Man: he can run an offense (as long as he’s the center of the action),
he can beat a defense from outside, he’s very skilled at getting to the
line, he enjoys Westbrookian self-confidence, and his high activity level
draws a lot of attention and defensive help. From a Player Efficiency Rating
perspective, Thomas is on par with All-Stars like John Wall and Jeff Teague,
his True Shooting Percentage is comparable to All-Star Kyrie Irving, and his
Offensive Real Plus-Minus last season was identical to All-Star Damian Lillard
’s. When it comes to pound-for-pound point creation, the 2011 draft’s Mr.
Irrelevant might just be at the top of the list, and he generates more than
his fair share of entertainment, too.
就算给他5尺9吋(我猜作者可能认为根本没这身高)，Thomas可以算半个令人难以置信
的球员，除了Russell Westbrook外没有一位控球后卫在场上如此大量的使用Pick&Roll
，在做的不错与做得太多之间Thomas大多算是处在做得不错的状态，他是一位典型的第六
人：可以参与进攻(只要他是这个战术的核心)，可以克服外线的防守也非常会买犯规，并
且有着像Westbrook般的自信，而他强大的运动能力往往能吸引了防守者的注意与帮忙防
守的产生。在PER值中，Thomas跟全明星控球后卫例如John Wall或Jeff Teague是同等级
的，而他的真实命中率也可以跟全明星控球后卫Kyrie Irving比肩，上一季在进攻正负值
方面与全明星控球后卫Damian Lillard是相同的。如果我们在这个量级的得分能力而论
，这位2011年选秀最末端的球员被他摆在最上端，而且他打球的娱乐性十足。
Unfortunately, Thomas’s weaknesses as a defender negate a good chunk of his
offensive prowess: The Suns’ defensive rating was three points worse when
Thomas was on the court before the trade and the Celtics’ defensive rating
was nearly three points worse when Thomas was on the court after the trade.
The only point guards who posted worse Defensive Real Plus-Minus marks than
Thomas in 2014–15, while playing an equivalent number of minutes, were D.J.
Augustin (also undersized), Tony Parker (limited by injury) and Zach LaVine
(a rookie playing out of position). In short, Thomas gives, Thomas takes
away, and Thomas provides a lot of fun along the way. – B.G.
不幸的Thomas糟糕的防守让他进攻方面的成绩被扣分：在Thomas被交易以前太阳队的防守
在他上场时下降了三个百分比，而且被交易到塞尔提克后，当Thomas在场球队的防守也下
降了三个百分比。从有一定上场时间的控球后卫讨论，防守真实正负值比Thomas糟糕的只
有D.J.Augustin(同样是小一号)、Tony Parker(因伤)还有Zach LaVine(菜鸟)。简单来说
Thomas带给了球队一些东西、同样的也拿走一些东西而且他使这过程变得有趣。
2014-15: 16.4 PPG, 4.2 APG, 2.3 RPG, 42.0 FG%, 37.3 3P%
Advanced: 20.6 PER, Win Shares: 6.1, +1.45 RPM
No.87
Ricky Rubio
Wolves | Guard | Last year: 87
The extreme nature of Rubio’s game makes for a challenging appraisal. In a
league where shooting is more valuable than ever, exactly how much damage is
done by an inferior—and sometimes reluctant—outside shooter? How much is
that deficit offset by the fact that Rubio also ranks as one of the league’s
preeminent playmakers? These kind of riddles detract from his obvious
command. While Rubio clearly experiences the game in a unique way, his
polarized skill set can be hard for some teams to accommodate.
Rubio做为一位"纯"控球后卫为他打分是一件非常具有挑战性的，联盟里投篮比所有事情
都重要，所以一位不佳而且有时不出手的外面射手会造成多大的伤害?就算有这般重大的
缺失Rubio依然被誉为最棒的组织后卫之一，这样的弱点使他的指挥被扣分不少。虽然
Rubio以他独特的方式在场上打球，但对某些球队来说是很难去适应这种打法。
Those teams that can find room to work around Rubio’s flaws, however, stand
to benefit greatly. The 24-year-old guard has extraordinary timing; he’s
able to thread passes that other guards would never dare and use cagey
defense to force all kinds of turnovers. Some of those defensive plays are
credited, as evidenced by Rubio’s perennial place on the steals leaderboard.
Most are not. The deflections and challenges Rubio contributes over the
course of a game aren’t attributed cleanly in the standard box score but
tend to show across well in deeper statistical representations of defense. Don
’t let his slight frame or cheery disposition fool you. Rubio is a pest to
all ball handlers, never more than a reflexive play away from disrupting the
opponent’s offensive flow. – R.M.
这些可以找到方式来解决Rubio缺陷的团队受益匪浅，这位24岁的后卫有着非凡的能力；
他可以传出其他后卫不敢尝试的助攻也利用谨慎的防守去迫使各种失误产生，有些防守
是被记录的，像是Rubio长年占据抄截榜，但大部分却是数据看不见的，Rubio在场上可
以改变整场球赛的防守很难被传统数据所记载，不过在更深层次的统计数据统计中做到
了。别让他比较瘦弱的身型所骗，Rubio是所有控球后卫的恶梦，他从来不放弃去干扰敌
队所有的进攻流程。
No.86
Kenneth Faried
Nuggets | Forward | Last year: 77
Even if Faried, 25, cuts against many of the preferred grains in today’s
game, he’s still quite effective at doing his thing. Somewhat
counterintuitively, he manages to be an advanced stats darling despite the
holes listed above, ranking in the top 75 in PER, Win Shares, Real Plus-Minus
aIt’s not very fashionable to praise Kenneth Faried these days. He’s a
paint-bound power forward who doesn’t stretch the floor, doesn’t produce in
isolation, and doesn’t make plays for others. He’s an undersized hustle guy
who doesn’t defend the four all that well and who can’t be expected to
swing up to handle fives. He was stuck in the midst of a giant mess in Denver
over the last two seasons, and he received his four-year, $50 million
extension largely by taking advantage of Denver’s inexperienced front office
after he turned in a strong performance at the 2014 FIBA World Cup.
就算Faried25岁打法并非主流，但他在本分内还是非常有效率。不过有悖常理的，
尽管他球技依然粗糙仍能成为进阶数据的领先者，他在PER值中为全联盟前75名，胜利
贡献、真实正负值，现在并不流行赞美Faried这种球员。他是一个只在油漆区活动的大
前锋，他不能拉开空间、不能单打也不能为队友创造机会。Faried是一位小一号的猛将，
并不能防守好所有的四号球员也不能拉上五号去防守，他在最近两季丹佛金块队的歹戏
中坚持下来，并在2014世界杯的好表现后利用丹佛经营团队不熟悉市场的状况下拿到四
年五千万美金的延长大约。
2014-15: 12.6 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 1.2 APG, 0.8 BPG, 50.7 FG%
Advanced: 18.4 PER, Win Shares: 5.6, +2.15 RPM
