Isaiah Collier | 6-4 guard | freshman | USC | No. 1
Collier is the name most scouts and executives provide when I ask who they
have at No. 1 right now. I think I agree with that assessment for now due to
his upside, but I also want to see tangible growth throughout the season.
Collier是Vecenie最常从各个管理层人员与球探中得到现阶段的第一名。我(Vecenie)同意
他现有的评价是来源于他的上限，但我也想要在这季看到他明确的成长。
First though, the good. Collier’s intersection of quickness and strength
allows him to play in the paint with ease. Once he gets to the rim, he’s
able to not just absorb contact, but oftentimes rise up through it to finish
with strength at the rim. He’s a power guard, typically attempting to go
through defenders at the rim. It’d be wrong to call him an elite leaper, but
he uses his strength and length well functionally. Yet it doesn’t (always)
feel like he’s just bullying smaller players, because he can pass and make
plays for his teammates even if they don’t always finish. In USC’s recent
loss to Gonzaga, I counted 16 potential Collier assists, with the Trojans
only converting six of them. Many of those looks were
high-degree-of-difficulty kick-outs or dump-offs from a live dribble. Collier
is averaging 17.3 points, 4.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds, making him one of the
most productive freshmen in the country, and I expect the assist number to
rise as USC hits conference play, as he’s been snake-bitten by teammates
missing shots. On top of that, Collier’s jumper from distance has looked
better this season, as he’s made 40 percent of his 3s to this point.
第一段先讲优点。Collier速度与力量的结合容许他能轻松在禁区打球。只要他能接近篮框
，他不只能吸收冲击还能常常用他的力量完成终结。他是个强力后卫并时常在篮下解决防
守者。他可能不是最菁英的跳跳人，但他能很好的运用他的力量与长度。而且他不仅仅是
一直霸凌比他更小只的对手而已因为他即使不能终结仍可以传球为队友创造机会。在南加
大输给Gonzaga的比赛中，我算到Collier总共有16个潜在助攻，而特洛伊人却只能转换出
其中的6个。很多看起来都是高难度的球转传出来或是运球中给球。Collier目前场均17.3
分4.5助攻3.0篮板并让他成为全国产能最高的新鲜人只一，而我期望他的助攻数字能随着
南加大进行赛区内的比赛时升高因为他现阶段很多都被队友投不进而吃掉了。Collier的长
距离跳投这季也看起来更好了，他现在有40%的三分球命中率。
But there are significant concerns, both in how Collier is being used and in
his own performance. Let’s start with the latter. Collier is a chronic
over-penetrator, constantly so deep into the lane that he leaves himself no
options when the defense collapses on him. That leads to a lot of wasted
possessions, which is why he is averaging a robust 4.6 turnovers per game –
a ludicrous number that will need to come down if he’s to justify going No.
1. His ball security has improved in the last two games, as he only turned
the ball over five times combined against Eastern Washington and Gonzaga. But
he desperately needs to improve his patience as a driver and be willing to
hang out in the midrange for a beat longer.
但Collier仍有显著的疑虑，无论是Collier的使用方式还是他本身的表现。先从后者说起
。Collier是个常常过度深切的人，他经常会切得太深并限缩他自己的选项陷入包夹。这让
他浪费了不少球权，这也是他场均4.6失误的因素
