Analysis 分析
The pitch with Brown is simple. In today’s NBA, there might not be a more
important intersection of skills than shooting and passing ability. Brown has
those skills in a big way. He’s a monster 3-point shooter who hits them at
volume, and he is a tremendous live-dribble passer who reads the court well
and makes good decisions while also being able to separate in ball screens.
With those two skills alone, it sets him up for a tremendous amount of
success.
Brown的卖点很简单。在现今的NBA，没有什么能力组合比投篮能力加传球能力更重要。
Brown恰好在这两项能力上都非常突出。他是一名高产量的顶级三分射手，且他同时是一名
能够很好地阅读场上局势，在持球过程中做出正确决定，而且具备利用挡拆创造空间出色
的运球中传球手。光是这两项技能，就足以让他取得巨大的成功。
Brown needs to keep taking steps with his frame, however. On-ball players
this skinny who have entered the NBA recently have struggled. The NBA is a man
’s league. There’s no other way to put it. Brown is going to have to keep
filling out now that he has grown to 6 feet 4. He is set to be one of the
most interesting players to evaluate this cycle. On one hand, I tend to be
hard on smaller guards — and despite Brown’s height, he plays like a
smaller guard. On the other hand, I tend to value skill, high IQ and shooting
ability as much as anything. Brown possesses those skills in an immense
quantity for such a young player.
不过，Brown仍然需要持续增强自己的身体条件。近年来，像他这样身材偏瘦的持球型球员
进入NBA后，大多面临不少挑战。NBA是个成年人联盟。没有更委婉的说法。如今已长到6呎
4吋的Brown，仍必须持续增加肌肉与力量。他将会是本届最有趣、也最难评估的球员之一
。一方面，我通常对身材较小的后卫评价较为保守。即便他的身高不矮，他却打得像一名
小后卫。另一方面，我又非常重视技术、篮球智商以及投射能力。而Brown在这几项能力上
的水准，对于如此年轻的球员而言可说是极其出色。
He’s a polarizing prospect for scouts for a reason, and I go back and forth
daily on what his future holds. Some days I see him as the best bet outside
of the top five in the class, and other days I’m not totally sure I see him
as a winning NBA player.
球探圈对他的评价之所以两极化，是有原因的，我自己也几乎每天都在改变对他未来发展
的看法。有些时候，我认为他是本届前五名之外最值得下注的球员；但也有些时候，我并
不完全确定他是否真的会成为一名能够帮助球队赢球的NBA球员。
Strengths 优势
-Brown has grown substantially over the last three years. He went from a
clearly undersized lead guard to now having at least average height and
length for the position guard. He measured in at 6 feet 3.5 with a 6-foot-7.5
wingspan.
Brown在过去三年间有相当明显的成长。他从一名身材明显偏小的控球后卫成长拥有至少符
合后卫平均水准的身高与臂展。他身高6呎3.5吋臂展6呎7.5吋。
-He has developed more bounce and quickness as he has gotten bigger. He’s not
the most explosive athlete as a lead guard but has some pop to get where he
needs to go, especially off two feet at the rim or off his first step. Has
some sudden moves that make you wonder if he could get even more explosive if
he adds further muscle, given the trajectory he was on before his freshman
year.
随着身材逐渐成长，他的弹跳能力与敏捷性也有所提升。作为一名控球后卫，他并不是最
具爆发力的运动员，但仍具备足够的爆发力去到达自己想去的位置，特别是在篮框附近双
脚起跳时或利用第一步突破时。他偶尔会展现一些非常突然的动作，让人不禁好奇，如果
未来进一步增加肌肉量，根据他大一前的成长曲线，他是否还能获得更多爆发力。
-What makes Brown so special is the potential combination of shooting and
passing ability. Has an elite intersection of arguably the two most important
skills in the modern NBA. As soon as he gets an outlet pass or grabs a
rebound, he immediately gets his eyes up to look for early hit-aheads. Plays
quick. Very accurate on his hit-aheads. Always seems to hit guys in stride.
Plays a team-friendly game.
Brown如此特别的原因，在于他同时拥有出色的投篮能力与传球能力。这两项能力的结合可
以说是现代NBA最重要的技能组合之一，而Brown在这两方面都具备顶级潜力。无论是在接
到第一时间传球或抓到篮板，他总是立刻抬头寻找前场快攻的机会。打得很快。长传精准
。几乎都可以传给前头的队友。他的打法非常团队。
-Brown’s shot opens the rest of his game. At the FIBA Under-19 World Cup last
summer, he shot 47.6 percent on 3-point shots (averaging six attempts per
game). In six tracked games on Synergy for DME Academy, he shot 37 percent on
over 11 3-point attempts per game, many of which were of the completely
absurd pull-up variety. Brown has no conscience when it comes to pulling up
from distance. We’ll talk about his efficiency in college from that distance
in the next section, but when people get excited about Brown’s scoring
ability, it has to do with the fact he can pull nearly eight 3-point attempts
per game even in college.
Brown的投篮能力为他整体进攻打开了更多可能性。去年夏天的FIBA U19世界杯中，他的三
分球命中率高达47.6%(场均出手6次)。而在DME Academy的6场Synergy有追踪的比赛中，他
的三分球命中率为37%，场均出手超过11次三分球，其中许多还是难度极高、近乎不可思议
的持球急停三分。Brown在远距离持球出手方面毫不犹豫。下一部分我们会讨论他在大学层
级的外线效率问题，但当人们对Brown的得分能力感到兴奋时，原因就在于他连在大学依然
可以场均丢接近8颗三分球的事实。
-He feels completely comfortable if he gets even an inch of space to set and
fire from 3. If you play him in drop, he’s going to hit you with a couple of
pull-up 3s to force you to play more at the level and thus open the backside
of the defense. Showed great touch at lower levels and at times this year for
Louisville. Can sometimes lean forward on the jumper too far and get his
balance out of whack, but the ball comes out of his hand smoothly and with
clean touch.
只要获得哪怕一点点空间，Brown就会毫不犹豫地出手三分。如果你采取沉退防守，他就会
用几记持球急停三分惩罚你来迫使你必须往上提防并撬开弱侧的空间。他在较低层级比赛
以及本季效力Louisville期间，都展现过非常出色的投篮手感。有时候他的跳投会因为身
体前倾过多而失去平衡，但球离手的动作相当流畅且手感柔和。
-Also a massive weapon off the catch from 3. If he’s trailing the play in
transition, you have to get a body on him within 27 feet of the rim or the
ball is going up with a serious chance of going in. And if you decide to help
off him when he’s spotting up behind the arc, you’re in deep trouble. Has a
bit of a deeper ball dip but gets into rhythm with ease, and the ball comes
out of his hand softly. Tends to get them off a one-two step. But everything
is in alignment and pure, flowing toward the rim. Relocates well after
passing it. Does a good job sinking into open areas that get him open 3s.
Genuine threat on and off the ball.
他在接球投三分方面同样是一项极具威胁性的武器。如果他在转换进攻中作为跟进者，那
么你必须在距离篮框27呎之外就贴住他，否则他很可能直接出手有很高机率投进。而如果
他在三分线外定点等待时，你选择放掉他去协防其他人，那麻烦就大了。他的收球下放幅
度稍微深一些，但他能很轻松地进入投篮节奏，而且出手时手感柔和。他通常会利用一二
步投篮。整个投篮动作的协调性很好且纯净，自然地朝向篮框完成出手。传球之后，他也
很擅长重新跑位。总能找到空档区域，让自己获得空位三分机会。无论持球或无球，他都
是一个真正的威胁。
-Uses the threat of his shot incredibly well to get into the lane. Very
flexible athlete with serious wiggle but best at using his change of pace.
Plays under control and at a sharp rhythm. Loves to hit defenders with
hesitations and inside-out moves. Will play at a slow or fast pace depending
on the situation. Can get into the lane, slow down and hit hostage dribbles
to draw defenders before deciding to shoot, pass or drive. Very comfortable
getting to pull-up midrange jumpers. Can occasionally lean too far forward
toward the rim or to his right or left, but by and large, gets his body into
alignment and makes shots.
他非常善于利用自己的投篮威胁来切入禁区。是个身体柔软度很好的运动员、动作灵活，
但最厉害的地方还是在于节奏变化。他打球始终保持控制，并且拥有很好的进攻节奏感。
喜欢利用犹豫步及Inside-Out运球来欺骗防守者。他会根据场上情况决定要打快还打慢。
他可以切入禁区后突然减速利用Hostage Dribble吸引住防守者再决定要投、传还是切。他
也擅长持球投中距离跳投。偶尔他在出手时会过度向篮框方向前倾，或是身体偏向左侧或
右侧，但大部分时候，他都能够把身体调整到正确的位置并稳定把球投进。
-Knows how to freeze defenders to open angles. Will do so to snake ball
screens to get back to the middle of the court and force more help. Loves to
go to a nasty inside-out dribble to stop defenders in their tracks. Has a
strong understanding of how to map the court and get to the most dangerous
areas. Has a tight enough handle to navigate tight quarters on the court. Can
isolate bigs and string them out into switches before attacking them in space.
他很清楚如何冻住防守者。他经常利用这种能力在挡拆后执行蛇形运球回到场中样后再逼
迫对手需要更多人协防。他特别喜欢使用极具杀伤力的Inside-Out运球来将防守者定在原
地。他对于如何阅读球场空间有很强的理解，知道该如何到达最具威胁性的进攻区域。控
球能力也足够扎实，能够在狭小空间中运球。能够在单打时针对长人防守者发动进攻，利
用持球操作迫使对方换防并在大空间攻击他们。
-Brown’s best skill, though, is his passing. He’s an incredibly sharp passer
who can make every read in the book off a live dribble. Strangely, for a
right-handed player, he is more of a left-hand-dominant live-dribble passer.
Can throw them with both, though, and does so easily. Throws cross-corner
kickouts with that left hand with ease. Gets velocity on the ball but also
has enough control over the ball to throw it with touch. Throws lobs with a
nice touch to make it easy for his big to rise and dunk.
Brown最好的技能其实是他的传球。他是一名敏锐的传球手，能在运球过程中做出你可以想
得到的所有判读。有趣的是，虽然他是右撇子，但在运球中的传球反而更偏向使用左手。
当然左右手都能轻松传球。他能够轻松用左手送出横跨球场的对角传球。他的传球很快但
同时又有足够的控制并运用手感传球。他的高吊球手感优良让长人可以轻松起飞完成灌篮
。
-Reads the court very quickly and diagnoses what defenders are doing a split
second before other players tend to. Has been well-schooled developmentally
and also has quick instincts. Understands what the second and third levels of
the defense are doing and tends to find the open man. Creative in how he
opens angles on his drives outside of screens. Finds fun pass fakes and
hesitations to freeze defenders. Dished out 4.7 assists per game at
Louisville this season, but it seemed like it should have been more. His
passing highlights are better than anyone else’s in the class.
他阅读比赛的速度非常快，能比其他球员提早半拍判断出防守者的意图。他接受过良好的
篮球训练，同时也拥有优秀的直觉。能理解防守第二层与第三层轮转，并常能找到空档中
的队友。挡拆后切入之后的传球角度具有创意。他会利用巧妙的传球假动作及犹豫动作来
定住防守者。本季在Louisville，他场均送出4.7次助攻，但实际看比赛时，你感觉这个数
字应该要更高。就传球嗨赖，他是本届最好的。
-Unsurprisingly in this respect, Brown is tremendous at reading ball screens.
Very good at drawing a drop defender toward him before hitting a lob over the
top. Will manipulate back-line defenders with his eyes before darting the
ball to the dunker spot or the kickout. Loves that cross-corner skip pass off
a live dribble. Doesn’t overstay his welcome by overdribbling. Makes early
reads and doesn’t hold on to the ball. Keeps the offense in rhythm and in
flow. Does an amazing job of opening angles for pocket passes to his rollers
to his right and left. Great with short-rolling bigs.
不意外的，Brown阅读挡拆也很出色。他很擅长吸引沉退的防守者向自己靠近然后传出高吊
球越过对方。他也会利用眼神欺骗后线防守者接着迅速将球传给Dunker Spot或是外线的队
友。他非常喜欢在运球过程中送出对角线跨场传球。他不会因为过度运球而拖慢进攻节奏
。他总是能很早完成判读，不会黏球。他能让进攻保持节奏与顺畅。此外，他非常擅长为
顺下的掩护者创造无论左侧还是右侧口袋传球的角度。他与短挡拆的长人搭得很好。
-Because his handle is tight enough and he’s so creative on the ball, he
tends to have a natural chemistry with his screeners. Reacts in an instant to
how they’re coming up to screen and gets to the mesh point of the screen in
creative ways, such as surprise behind-the-back dribbles or crossovers. Then
will hit hang dribbles to help defenders get stuck on the screen before
pulling up or attacking. In general, his offensive game just flows together,
with one move sitting on top of the next one very naturally.
由于他的控球技术足够扎实，而且持球时极具创造力，因此他往往能与掩护者建立很好的
化学效应。他能够瞬间判断队友准备如何上来设掩护，并用各种巧妙的方式切入掩护形成
的接触点，例如突然得背后运球或是变向运球。接着，他又会利用停顿运球让防守者被掩
护卡死，然后直接投篮或继续攻击。总的来说，他的进攻技巧衔接得很顺畅，每一个动作
都像是下一个动作的铺垫，非常自然。
Areas for improvement 需要改进的点
-A lack of strength permeates Brown’s game more than you’d hope. He came in
at the combine at 190 pounds, but doesn’t really play that heavily. Needs to
fill out his frame with more muscle — that’s arguably his biggest area for
improvement. Doesn’t have the power aspect to his game that a player needs
to be successful in the highest-leverage moments right now.
他缺乏力量的问题对Brown的影响比你希望得还严重。他在联合试训测出190磅，但他打起
来却不像有这个体重。他需要进一步增加肌肉量来强化他的体型
