The first round of the 2024 NBA Draft has come and gone, and it was a wild
ride with surprises up and down the board as well as a few trades that no one
saw coming.
I’ll have full draft grades out after the second day of the draft ends
Thursday night. But for now, here are the teams that I thought did
particularly well on Day 1, a couple of teams whose choices I didn’t totally
understand, and two things that I felt were worth commenting on despite
feeling relatively ambivalent about both.
2024年NBA选秀的第一轮结束了,而这一轮很疯狂充满了惊喜、起伏与几个没人预期的交易
。
我(Vecenie)在第二天结束后才会出完整的选秀评分,这里是我认为一些第一天做得特别好
的球队、几个我无法完全理解的选择以及2件我虽然感觉矛盾但值得讨论的东西。
赢家
Utah Jazz犹他爵士
This is shaping up to be my favorite team draft of the event after Day One.
The Jazz did a remarkable job letting the board come to them after reportedly
being in trade discussions earlier in the day to move up. Instead of giving
up some of their future picks to slide up the board and get the guy they
wanted, they stood pat and let him fall to them. I wouldn’t have put the
odds particularly high that Cody Williams would have fallen to No. 10 when
the day started, but because the Pistons surprised with Ron Holland at No. 5,
the Hornets took Tidjane Salaun at No. 6 ahead of the Spurs, the Spurs moved
out of No. 8 in a deal to Minnesota, and then the Grizzlies took Zach Edey at
No. 9, the Jazz hit essentially a three-outer on the river and ended up with
their guy.
在第一天结束后我最喜欢的球队便是犹他爵士(心得:我自己也觉得爵士选得最漂亮)。爵士
在稍早被放出他们在讨论让顺位上升的情报后,选择让选秀顺其自然并做得非常出色。他
们没有放弃一些未来的选秀权来上升顺位并拿到他们想要的球员,取而代之的是耐心并等
待他们想要的球员掉下来。在选秀开始时我并不认为Cody Williams会掉到第10顺位但在活
塞以第5顺位选下Ron Holland、黄锋以第6顺位抢在马刺之前选下Tidjane Salaun、马刺交
易走第8顺位最后灰熊以第9顺位选下Zach Edey之后,爵士在最后一个以低机率的情况拿下
他们想要的球员。
(球员球探报告 略)
Then the Jazz took Isaiah Collier at No. 29. Collier was a polarizing player
for scouts this year. I ended up with him at No. 19. The best flashes of
Collier make one think he could be an All-Star. The bad moments make you
believe he’s more likely to be a backup point guard. Unsurprisingly given
that, there’s a wide range of opinions league-wide on his future.
爵士接下来在第29顺位拿下Isaiah Collier。Collier在球探之间的评价两极。我最终将他
排在了第19。Collier打好的情况是大家觉得他可能成为全明星。打烂的时刻你会觉得他比
较像个替补控球后卫。所以他在联盟的未来有者很大的差距也不意外了。
But the Jazz could use a bit more power in the backcourt. They’re quite
small and skinny back there, with Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and Jordan
Clarkson getting most of the reps. Those players are, by and large, pull-up
shooters and guys who hit catch-and-shoot jumpers. Collier is a serious
rim-pressure player who will attack and find creases where they sometimes don
’t exist. He’ll hit kickouts and make high-level passing reads. If he can
iron out the turnovers and develop a more consistent shot, this has potential
to be the kind of guard the Jazz needed. Again, this class is all about
informed bets based on your situation. Collier is a great informed bet for
the Jazz.
但爵士队的后场确实需要更多的力量。他们的后场相对较小且瘦弱,Sexton、George和
Clarkson占据了大部分的上场时间。这些球员大多数是投篮手,能够在接球后跳投。
Collier是一个真正的篮下攻击者,会在看似不存在的缝隙中找到突破口。他能够传球给外
围队友,做出高水准的传球判断。如果他能减少失误并发展出更稳定的投篮,这将有潜力
成为爵士队需要的那种控卫。同样,这届选秀的选择都是基于球队情况下的明智赌注。
Collier对于爵士队来说是个很好的明智赌注。
In total, the Jazz took serious swings on upside on a roster that desperately
needed such swings. This is a draft that makes sense, and now we’ll find out
what they do at No. 32 on Thursday. This could really be a positive class for
Danny Ainge, Justin Zanik and company if they hit on the right player there.
总的来说,爵士队在这届选秀上对充满潜力的球员进行了大胆选择,而这支队伍急需这样
的选择。这是一个合理的选秀,现在我们将看看他们在周四第32顺位会做什么。如果他们
能在那里选中合适的球员,这将是Danny Ainge、Justin Zanik和他们的团队的一个非常有
建树的一届选秀。
Washington Wizards巫师
The Wizards swung multiple big moves today, and it completely altered the
direction of their franchise.
巫师今天做出了数个重大决定,并大幅度的改变了球队的方向。
First, they agreed to trade Deni Avdija to Portland for an absolute haul of
assets. The team received the No. 14 pick and will also receive a 2029
first-round pick, two second-round picks, and Malcolm Brogdon. Most NBA front
office sources who spoke with The Athletic regarding this deal said that
while they believe in Avdija and think his contract is about to become one of
the most valuable across the NBA (he’ll make under $12 million in 2027-28),
they felt like this was more than they would have traded for Avdija. No one
would go so far as to call it an “overpay,” but there was agreement that
this was a strong return for a Wizards team that entered the day pretty
loaded with big wings in Avdija, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyle Kuzma.
Additionally, two of those sources felt that while Avdija is terrific, he’s
ultimately going to be more beneficial to a team that is trying to win now as
opposed to in the early stages of a rebuild.
首先,他们同意将Deni Avdija交易至波特兰,以换取大量资产。球队获得了第14顺位选
秀权,还将在2029年获得一个首轮选秀权、两个次轮选秀权和Malcolm Brogdon。大多数与
The Athletic谈话的NBA管理层人士表示,尽管他们相信Avdija并认为他的合约将成为全
NBA最有价值的合约之一(他在2027-28赛季的薪水将不到1200万美元),但他们认为这比
他们愿意为Avdija交易的资产还要多。没有人会把这称为"出太多的交易",但大家一致认
为这对于进入选秀日已经拥有Avdija、Bilal Coulibaly和Kyle Kuzma等多名大前锋的巫师
队来说是很棒的回报。除此之外,两名消息人士认为,尽管Avdija非常出色,但对于一支
试图现在赢球的球队来说,他的价值更高,而不是在重建初期的球队。
The Wizards also drafted Perth Wildcats big man Alex Sarr, the player I have
ranked at No. 1 on my board. We need to be clear here: Sarr is no sure thing
to be a star. He is athletic and a terrific defender. He’s long and mobile
and has the potential to be the kind of defender that every team is looking
for with how much ground he can cover, particularly across the weak side of
the court. Offensively, he has potential to shoot, has potential to handle
the ball and showed some short-roll passing flashes throughout the year. All
of this is theoretical, though. Sarr still has a ways to go developmentally.
The good news is that with the Wizards, he’s going to have time. They’re
going to be patient and allow him to continue to grow and mature over the
next few years, and hopefully become the kind of perimeter offensive and
game-breaking defensive player that teams hunt far and wide for on across the
globe.
巫师选下了来自伯斯野猫队的长人Alex Sarr(选秀报告 略)。Sarr在球员发展上还有很长
的路要走。好消息是,在巫师队,他将有时间成长。他们会耐心地让他在未来几年继续成
长和成熟,希望他能成为各队寻求的那种外围进攻者和大幅度影响比赛的防守球员。
Washington used the No. 14 pick on Pittsburgh guard Bub Carrington, who was
probably the player that I was highest on compared to the overall consensus
this season. I had him at No. 8 on my board and think he’s a tremendous
upside swing to fill the team’s need for a lead guard. He is a real
dribble-pass-shoot threat with awesome ball-screen instincts as one of the
youngest players in the class at just 18. He is a tremendous shot-maker as a
pull-up scorer already. As a passer and playmaker, he sees the court well and
clearly knows how to read the defense. Defensively, he got better throughout
the season. On top of that, he’s on a remarkably positive growth trajectory.
He was just 5-foot-8 when he was a sophomore in high school before shooting
up to around 6-foot-1 as a senior, and then continuing to grow to 6-4 before
playing a game at Pittsburgh. He didn’t have the frame to really attack the
rim then, and he’s still learning. Carrington was my favorite home run swing
in the class given what he can already do, and what I think he’s capable of
down the road.
华盛顿队用第14顺位选中了匹兹堡大学的后卫Bub Carrington,他可能是我与大部分球探
们相比评价高最多的球员。我将他排在榜单第8位,认为他是一个有巨大潜力的选择,能满
足球队对主力控卫的需求。他是个真正的运球、传球和投篮威胁,拥有出色的挡拆本能,
是本届选秀中最年轻的球员之一,年仅18岁。他已经是一个出色的急停跳投得分手。在传
球和组织方面,他阅读场上的能力很强,明显知道如何阅读防守。在防守端,他整个赛季
都在进步。此外,他的成长轨迹非常积极。他在高二时身高只有5呎8,到了高四时增高到6
呎1,并在入学匹兹堡大学前继续增高到6呎4。当时他的身体还不足以真正攻击篮筐,现在
他还在学习。考虑到他的现有能力和未来潜力,Carrington是我最喜欢的全垒打式选择。
The team finished its first-round picks with Kyshawn George, a player I’m
not quite as high on relative to where they took him — No. 24, after trading
the No. 51 pick to New York to move up two spots. But they’re clearly
valuing the upside trajectory here. George is another physical late bloomer
who just sprouted to 6-foot-8 within the last 18 months after growing up as a
lead guard. My issue with George is that despite turning 21 in December, he’
s never actually been all that productive. He averaged under three points per
game in the professional second division French league in 2022-23, then this
year averaged under eight points per game. He is 6-foot-7 with long arms and
can shoot, though, so I at least understand the swing.
巫师最后选下了Kyshawn George,相对于巫师选择他的第24顺位来说,我对他的评价不高
