Doc Rivers: Lakers gave up on D'Angelo Russell too soon

在上一场快艇对篮网赛后，
快艇总教练Doc Rivers对篮网后卫D'Angelo Russell发表自己的看法。
“He played at Montverde [Academy] in Orlando. He played a lot in the summer
with Austin [Rivers], so I’ve been able to see him for a long, long time,”
Rivers said. “I was disappointed early on, because I just thought that he
was really good. Sometimes, you’ve just got to wait on a kid.
Rivers表示：
“他曾在奥兰多的Montverde学院打过球，暑假期间常跟我儿子一起练球，
因此我认识他很久很久了。当初看到湖人放弃Russell时我很失望，因为他非常出色。
有时候你必须对年轻球员有耐心。”
“The same thing with teams. Especially in this young group. You look at each
draft and there’s guys that come out at 19 and they don’t take off right
away. They get moved around, and the next thing you know, they’re players.
It happens more than we know, and it happened to D’Angelo.”
Rivers接着说：
“对球队也一样，尤其是年轻球队。你看看每年参加选秀的球员都19岁出头而已，
不可能马上就打出名堂，他们总会经历起伏。
而你必须知道的事情是，他们只是球员，很多事情发生超乎我们预期，
D'Angelo就是一个例子。”
Nets coach Kenny Atkinson, who has both aided in and benefitted from the
23-year-old Russell’s growth, agrees that young players simply have a
learning curve they must go through.
篮网总教练Kenny Atkinson也同意年轻球员有各自成长的轨迹。
“Yeah, I don’t know what that development window looks like. Some guys it’
s not one year,” Atkinson said. “There’s only LeBron; I can’t think of a
ton of guys it happened for in one year, Year 2. The way I look at it, it’s
a three-, four-year process.
Atkinson表示：
“我不知道什么是发展窗口。有些球员不是一年就能打出表现的，只有LeBron才做得到。
我不认为很多球员能在一两年内就能打出表现，在我看来需要三到四年的时间才行。”
