Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Hornets | Forward | Last year: —
The best perimeter defender in the NBA isn’t yet 22 years old. Kidd-Gilchrist
approaches the most difficult assignments in the game with unrelenting focus.
Pump fakes don’t budge him. Screens can hardly displace him for long enough
to make a difference. His extraordinary athleticism is applied toward
consecutive efforts, the sum of which can overwhelm even the game’s best
scorers. A defender so long (Kidd-Gilchrist stands 6’9” with a 7-foot
wingspan), quick, and determined cannot be eluded easily.
作为联盟最强的中距离防守者，MKG还没22岁。他每场比赛毫不松懈做着最辛苦的工作，
假动作影响不了他，掩护对他而言拖的时间也不够久。他将体能用于不断的防守，并可挡
下最好的得分手。一个如此强壮、高大、臂展宽又快速的球员是很难摆脱的。
That defense held together a Hornets team that finished ninth in defensive
rating last season. Charlotte was otherwise short on exceptional defenders and
struck by injuries that undercut an already underwhelming offense.
Kidd-Gilchrist was something of a saving grace, one of just two players on the
team whose presence coincided with a positive net rating. Kidd-Gilchrist still
isn’t much of a shooter, but unlike other range-challenged players he
doesn’t force matters. His infamous shooting form is being remade from
midrange out (MKG didn’t attempt a single three-pointer last season) all
while his cutting and rebounding help to bridge some immediate offensive return
. Restraint and energy help offset that which Kidd-Gilchrist cannot do. – R.M.
黄蜂去年防守第九，在缺乏防守者和充满伤痛，对原本就已经很弱的攻击端更加雪上加霜
，MKG就像是救世主般，队上唯二在防守端有正值的表现。他虽然不是一个射手，但他并不
像其他人一样不准硬投。教练团从中距离开始改善他的怪异投球(去年一次尝试外线都没有
)，他透过切入、篮板来弥补进攻。这些帮助他抵销他的缺点。

Robin Lopez
Knicks | Center | Last year: 82
For a guy with elementary-school hobbies, Robin Lopez has an impressively
“adult” basketball game. The 7-footer possesses old-school craft, setting
quality screens, boxing out with extreme diligence, and extending possessions
with his offensive rebounding. Although no one would suggest Lopez is quick
or smooth, he’s a very effective interior defender who contests shots and
uses his fouls to discourage drivers. Prior to Lopez’s 2013 arrival in
Portland, the Blazers ranked No. 26 in defensive efficiency. That mark jumped
to No. 16 in 2013–14 and No. 10 in 2014–15, as Lopez paired with LaMarcus
Aldridge and Nicolas Batum to form a long, cohesive frontline.
他有着小学生的兴趣，但Lopez弟却打的越来越成熟，7尺的他能做到符合水准的掩护，做
好篮板卡位并用进攻篮板来来延长攻击机会。虽然没有人会期待他的速度，他在禁区能有
效地阻止对方投篮，或者用犯规来破坏对手。他的到来使波特兰的防守从26名进步到16名
，2014年进步到第10名。因此他与Aldridge、Batum组成强大的前锋。
The Knicks’ four-year, $54 million contract to Lopez this summer represents
the biggest payday of his career and more than doubles his previous salary.
To be clear, New York clearly isn’t getting a star or even star potential,
as evidenced by his mediocre showings during the 2014 playoffs (against Dwight
Howard’s Rockets and the Spurs’ duo of Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter) and
the 2015 playoffs (against Marc Gasol’s Grizzlies). Rather, Lopez will be
tasked with making All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony’s life easier by
providing the last line of defense, doing assorted “dirty work” tasks,
diving to the hoop in pick-and-roll situations, and popping towards the ball
when defenses send extra attention Anthony’s way. He should be able to fill
that job description, even if his lack of foot speed requires that he stay in
the paint while defending pick-and-rolls and his individual defensive
rebounding numbers leave a lot to be desired. – B.G.
尼克以4年5400万找来Lopez弟，两倍高于他上次的薪水。很明显他不会是个球星，也不会
长成明星，这在2014季后赛对上DH、TD、Splitter和2015季后赛对上Gasol弟就被证实。
他能在防守端帮助甜瓜，做好脏活，并在P&R的时候可以空切帮助减轻甜瓜被防守的压力。
缺乏脚力的他在防守P&R和防守篮板还是能做出很大的贡献。

Deron Williams
Mavs | Guard | Last year: 45
Williams’s statistical slide has been so steep that he should probably wear
a parachute at all times just to be safe: After averaging 21 points and
8.7 assists in 2011–12 to secure a five-year, $98 million contract, Williams
managed just 13 points and 6.6 assists in 2014–15 as he missed 10-plus games
for the second straight year due to ongoing injuries. His notoriously surly
demeanor didn’t exactly help soften the blow caused by the degradation of his
skills, and Brooklyn GM Billy King eventually agreed to pay Williams a
$27-plus million buyout just to go away. This was a pure money-saving dump.
The Nets don’t have a future franchise point guard on their roster waiting to
step into Williams’s spot.
德隆退化得太快，从2011年的21分8.7助攻，签了大约(9800万)后，2014年只剩下13分6.6
助攻。他出了名怪的个性没有帮助他减缓退化，因此后来篮网GM Billy King以2700万买断
他。这只是为了省钱的一步，因为篮网可没有一个控卫可以补上他的空缺。
A Texas native, Williams, 31, crash-landed with his home state Mavericks,
who signed him to a two-year, $11 million deal that includes a player option.
Although his All-Star days are seemingly gone for good, Williams now has
another contract-year opportunity to play his way back into one final major
payday. Dallas can talk itself into a possible resurgence by pointing to
Williams’s positive impact on Brooklyn’s offense (nearly six points better
last when he was on the court in 2014–15), his postseason experience, his
basketball IQ, and his orchestrating abilities. Plus, he can’t be worse than
Rajon Rondo. — B.G.
出身于德州31岁的他来到小牛，签了一份2年1100万的合约，包含球员选项。撇开过去良好
的全明星日子，他要好好为下一份合约努力。在小牛他有很不错的机会再起，透过他在攻
击方的表现、季后赛的经验、篮球智商、策划能力。他再差也不会比rondo差。
Rondo表示....

Joe Johnson
Nets | Guard | Last year: 51
As the sun sets on Johnson’s career, we’ve begun to see the division between
solid all-around players and mere adequacy. No longer is Johnson a volume
scorer or an especially stout defender. His All-Star game has faded with time,
leaving some skills sturdy and others merely passable. Still, Johnson does
enough well across the board to make a difference and gets a bump in the
rankings based on his agreeable game. At minimum he’s a quality shooter who
can handle the ball and compete in coverage at two positions. That kind of
player could slide into any rotation in the league and contribute in a
meaningful way—whether in assuming the kind of creative responsibility he’s
likely to see in Brooklyn next season or in a pure support role on a stacked
roster.
在生涯后期的Joe Johnson，我们慢慢可以看出全能选手与堪用选手的差异，他已经不再是
好的得分手，更不是强壮的防守者了。他的全明星日子已经逐渐离去，有些技术还是很扎
实，但有些却堪用而已。至少他还是一个可以持球，并能打两个位置的球员。这样的球员
能在任何球队的轮值做出贡献，他还是要在未来承担创造机会的责任，或者是在一个深度
个深的阵容里担任辅助的任务。
Ideally, Johnson’s team could split the difference to have him work as a
secondary or tertiary creator. The pick-and-roll has long been an effective
vehicle for the 34-year-old, even as he gets to the basket less and less.
Johnson is also one of the best post-up guards working; most wings don’t have
the size and strength necessary to contend with Johnson’s turnaround jumper
in the mid-post, creating clean looks and double teams to be exploited. – R.M.
Johnson的球队可让他当一个第二或第三的机会制造者，尽管他越来越不往篮下打，
P&R还是他的利器。他也仍是联盟数一数二的有能力打低位的后卫，他的体格能帮助他
继续投出他的中距离后仰跳投，并清出视野，并吸引对手包夹。

DeMarre Carroll
Raptors | Forward | Last year: —
Did any NBA player really have a better off-season than DeMarre Carroll?
Consider: after earning roughly $8 million total during a six-year journeyman
career, the 6’8” combo forward struck gold by securing a four-year, $60
million contract from Toronto. But, unlike Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and
other free agents who received gigantic raises this summer, Carroll bathed in
new dough despite being the least important member of his team’s starting five
. Indeed, the “Junkyard Dog” was the only Hawks starter not selected to the
2015 All-Star Game, and he ranked fifth on the team in points and minutes
played, third in rebounds, and seventh in assists. The advanced stats told the
same story: Carroll ranked fifth among Atlanta’s starters in net rating,
offensive rating, defensive rating, Win Shares, and fourth in PER.
有谁休赛季比Carroll更好了吗?在过去六年总共领800万的他，6'8双前锋的他今年从暴龙
拿到了四年6000万的合约。不像追梦绿、Jimmy Butler和其他FA因为备受重视得到很高的
报价。虽然Carroll是先发五人中最不重要的，他还是得到了很好的报价。他也是老鹰先发
五人唯一没入选2015明星赛的。他平均得分和出场时间在球队排第五，篮板排第三，助攻
排第七。进阶数据也告诉我们一样的事，他无论offensive rating、defensive rating、
winshares也是在先发中敬陪末座，PER则是第四。
Nevertheless, Carroll’s timing was impeccable. He shot a career-best 39.5%
from deep and regularly bore the responsibility of guarding the opposition’s
top perimeter player, making for a powerful 3-and-D combination that now
commands a premium price. Atlanta’s 60-win season surely helped vault him up
free agency target lists, as did a strong postseason run that saw him score
20-plus points in six straight games when the Nets and Wizards gave him room
to work.
Carroll的出手时机是无可挑剔的，他缴出了生涯新高的39.5%三分命中率，他常常被赋予
去守对方顶级中距离射手。老鹰的60胜也帮他抬高了身价，除外他的季后赛表现，面对
篮网和巫师给他足够的空间让他缴出连续六场20+的成绩。
In Toronto, Carroll will likely see time at both forward positions, helping
to shore up a Raptors defense that sagged last season. If this team/player
match is going to be successful, though, Carroll is going to need real help
from Toronto’s backcourt. In one of the most startling stats from the entire
2014–15 season, 119 of Carroll’s career-high 120 three-pointers were
assisted by his teammates. That’s right: Carroll made a grand total of one
three-pointer in 2,189 minutes that wasn’t generated for him. The
ultra-unselfish Hawks ranked second in assist rate last season while Toronto
ranked 22nd, so brace for the sight of Carroll spotting up in the corner with
his hands ready, watching as someone else shoots the ball. – B.G.
在暴龙，Carroll应该会在大前锋、小前锋之间切换，帮助上既缺乏防守的暴龙在防守上有
良好的进步。如果团队配合的好，虽然Carroll需要暴龙后场的帮助。去年生涯新高的120
球三分球中有119球是透过队友助攻的。没错，只有一球是他自己制造出机会的。这样的
无私使老鹰去年团队助攻第二高，暴龙排第22。所以很有可能出现Carroll在角落看者其他
人把球打掉XD

心得：为什么Carroll有三段啊~~~ 如果如最后一段所说，明年Carroll成绩应该会大幅下
滑吧
