NBA’s 10 best free agents still unsigned on the open market
NBA 10位尚未签约的最佳自由球员
第一段前言略过。
另外这是5天前的文章,那时Dinwiddie尚未签约,
因此这篇也会略过已经回小牛的Dinwiddie
10. Markelle Fultz, guard: Fultz looked like he was turning his NBA career
around with the Orlando Magic before the wheels fell off last year. The former
No. 1 overall pick has just never gotten over his shooting woes, and he
looked more tepid from deep than ever last season, finishing only 4-of-18 from
three-point range on the season. Fultz can still be a determined driver,
crafty finisher, and capable playmaker when he gets into the paint. Still only
26 years old, it’s fair to wonder if there’s another chapter of Fultz’s
NBA career, or if time really has run out.
去年在奥兰多魔术,Fultz看起来似乎正扭转他的 NBA 职业生涯。这位前状元一直没有
克服自己的投篮困境,而且他在三分线外的表现比之前的赛季更冷,本赛季三分球18投4中
。当Fultz进入油漆区,他仍然可以成为一个坚定的突破手、狡猾的终结者和有能力的组织
者。年仅26岁的Fultz,我们有理由怀疑他的NBA职业生涯是否能再翻开新的篇章,或者时
间是否真的不多了。
9. Talen Horton-Tucker, guard: THT’s progress has stalled since moving to
Utah. He struggles to get all the way to the rim on his drives, lacks a
reliable mid-range game, and has never made progress as a three-point shooter.
Still, Horton-Tucker is only 23 years old and has a ton of great reps under
his belt with nearly 250 NBA games play and 55 starts. With a huge frame and
long arms for a guard, there’s still some upside here for a team with a real
development plan.
自从来到犹他,THT的进步就陷入了停滞。他很难在切入时一路突破到篮框,缺乏可靠的中
距离投篮,并且在三分投射方面从未取得进步。尽管如此,Hirton-Tucker只有23岁,但已
经打了近250场NBA比赛并先发了55场比赛,取得了许多出色的成绩。一名拥有壮硕身材和
长臂的后卫,对于一支有真正发展计划的球队来说仍然有一些优势。
8. Spencer Dinwiddie, guard:(略)
7. Javonte Green, forward: Green was unsigned for most of last season as he
recovered from a knee injury, but he immediately looked like his old self upon
joining the Chicago Bulls in March. The 6’4 forward is an explosive athlete
who brings energy on every possession and plays much bigger than his size. He
’s an improved three-point shooter (37 percent each of the last two seasons),
an elite leaper, a solid defender, and a threat in transition to make a big
play.
Green上赛季大部分时间都没有签约,因为他刚从膝伤中恢复,但在三月份加盟芝加哥公牛
队后,他立即看起来像以前的自己。这位身高6尺4寸的前锋是一名爆发力十足的运动员,
每次控球都充满能量,而且能打出优于他原有身材的球赛内容。他的三分球命中率有所提
高(过去两个赛季命中率为37%)、优秀的弹跳手、可靠的防守者以及在攻防转换能发挥重
要作用的威胁。
6. Davis Bertans, forward: Bertans is an elite three-point shooter with size.
The 6’10 forward is a career 39.6 percent shooter from behind the arc in his
career. He can’t do much else offensively, and is a big liability defensively
, but there’s usually a roster spot out there for a knockdown shooter like
him.
Bertans是一名高大的优质三分射手。这位身高6尺10寸的前锋在他的职业生涯中三分命中
率为39.6%。他在进攻上不能做太多其他事情,并且在防守上也是一个很大的负担,但通常
一个像他这样有威胁性的射手,联盟名单会有他的位置。
5. Luke Kennard, wing: Kennard is legitimately one of the best three-point
shooters in the league. He’s shot better than 44 percent from three each of
the last five seasons. He’ll likely come back to the Grizzlies, but the fact
that he’s still out there gives an opportunity for another team to steal him.
Kennard无疑是联盟中最好的三分射手之一。过去五个赛季他的三分球命中率都高于44%。
他很可能会回到灰熊队,但事实上他仍是自由球员身,这给了其他球队插手的机会。
4. Precious Achiuwa, center: Achiuwa is a bouncy 6’9 big man with just enough
length to handle small ball five duties. He’s a ‘garbage man’ style big
who can attack the glass, make hustle plays, and finish feeds inside. The
Knicks still need a backup center behind Mitchell Robinson, so it seems likely
Achiuwa will get a deal to return to New York eventually.
Achiuwa是一位体能劲爆的6尺9寸大个子,且足以承担小球的五号。他是一个“garbage
man”型的大个子,可以攻击篮框,快攻,并在完成内线接应终结。尼克队仍然需要
Mitchell Robinson身后的替补中锋,因此Achiuwa最终很可能会返回纽约。
3. Lonnie Walker IV, guard: Walker is an athletic scoring guard who can fill
it up all over the floor. The 25-year-old shot 38.4 percent from three last
year, and also finished better than 66 percent of his rim attempts. If you
need a microwave scorer off the bench, Walker is the best option left on the
market.
Walker是运动型得分后卫,可以在场上填补各种空缺。这位25岁的球员去年的三分球命中
率为38.4%,篮下命中率也高于66%。如果你需要一名替补抢分手,Walker是市场上最好的
选择。
2. Isaac Okoro, wing: Okoro hasn’t lived up to the hype as a former top-5
draft pick, but he’s made some subtle progress over the last year in
Cleveland. Always a tenacious on-ball defender who can check speedier guards
and stronger wings, Okoro finally looked hesitant as a three-point shooter
last year, knocking down 39.1 percent from deep. He still needs to up the
volume before teams take him seriously behind the arc, but at least his stroke
is looking much better when he has enough time to get his shot off.
作为一名前五顺位选秀球员,Okoro并没有达到人们所期待的那样,但他去年在克利夫兰取
得了一些微妙的进步。Okoro一直是一名强悍的持球防守者,可以抵挡速度快的后卫和强壮
的侧翼球员,他去年在三分线终于开始像个三分射手,三分球命中率达39.1%。在球队认真
看待他在三分线外之前,他仍然需要提高外线水准,但至少当他有足够的机会投篮时,他
的投篮看起来要好得多。
1. Tyus Jones, guard: Jones is a True Point Guard who does a great job
protecting the ball, making the open pass, and hitting an open shot. He was
the NBA’s leader in assist-to-turnover ratio last season, and he also hit 41.
4 percent of his threes. He’ll always have limitations in terms of size and
athleticism, but Jones is so smart and skilled that he’s a perfect buy-low
candidate at this point in the offseason.
Jones是一名真正的控球后卫,他在护球、空档传球和空档投篮方面做得很好。上季他的
助攻失误比是全联盟第一,三分球命中率也高达41.4%。他在身材和运动能力方面总是受到
限制,但Jones非常聪明且技术精湛,因此他是休赛期此时完美的逢低买进候选人。

原文第一段本有提到,各队的球员格子和薪资空间都差不多了,这些球员必须要注意
这些还只是比较知名且有实绩的几名球员,还有更多自由球员准备失业
