Q. Was wondering if you could see Sabonis and Turner starting together, with
Bogdanovic coming off the bench? This could help fix our rebounding problem,
while playing tall but still be able to knock threes from all position.
问：想知道你觉得可能Sabonis与Turner一起先发，然后Bogdanovic从板凳出发吗？
这可以解决我们的篮板问题，同时具有高度也能在每一个位置投射三分球。
A. If Sabonis and Turner are starting together, and Bogdanovic is coming off
the bench, I presume you're keeping Thad Young in the starting lineup. That
would indeed be a better rebounding lineup, but that would move Young to the
"three" position and he would have a difficult time defending some small
forwards.
答：依你的问题，我假设你把Thad保留在先发，这确实会是更好的篮板保护的配合，
但代表Thad必须打三号位，他在防守一些小前锋时会遇上问题。
I think he could play the position against some teams, though, and I would be
in favor. He's still agile for his size (and age) as he's proven in the way
he defends pick-and-rolls. He's able to switch off onto guards, an asset that
was sorely missed when he was injured last season.
我想他能够在小前锋的位置上应付某些球队，某种程度上我是赞同的。
以他的体型与年龄而言他仍然迅速，
他能够在防守挡拆上证明他的能力，
他能够守住后卫，
上个赛季当他因伤缺阵时是非常沉重的打击。
Regardless of who starts, I think Turner and Sabonis will be together on the
court frequently. Rebounding will be the biggest issue facing the Pacers this
season, and they are the team's most physical rebounders. Overall, though, I
don't know that Sabonis is a significantly better rebounder than Thad Young,
who seems better able to track down the longer rebounds because of his
quickness. Young led the team in rebounding in the preseason, for what that's
worth.
不论谁先发，我认为Turner与Sabonis未来将经常在场上凑一对(翻译：溜马的球场情侣？)，
篮板将会是溜马这个赛季最大的问题，
而它们是球队最有活动力的篮板者，
总体而言，
我不知道Sabonis是否比Thad是明显更好的篮板者，
Thad似乎更能够靠着他的敏捷追逐长篮板，
Thad在先前球季是球队篮板的佼佼者，
是相当有价值的。
I started to write that a Turner-Sabonis-Young frontline would damage the
team's 3-point capabilities, but not as much as people probably think. Turner
hit .348 of his 3-point attempts last season, Young .381 and Sabonis .321.
Turner and Sabonis are capable of improvement, while Young's percentage was a
career-high. Bogdanovic shot .367 from the 3-point line. The difference
between him and Sabonis isn't that great, and Sabonis is capable of closing
the gap, but the Pacers will need every 3-pointer they can get. Bogdanovic is
a classic spot-up 3-point shooter while Sabonis and Young are not, so they
aren't as likely to be able to spread the defense.
我刚开始曾写过Turner、Sabonis、Thad的锋线组合会影响球队的三分能力，
但远不如人们所想的多，
Turner上个球季的三分球命中率为三成四八，
Thad为三成八一，
Sabonis为三成二一，
Turner和Sabonis都能进步，
Young的命中率则来到的生涯高点，
Bogdanovic的命中率为三成六七，
他与Sabonis最大的差别不是在于他比较会投三分和Sabonis有能力守住禁区，
溜马现在需要任何他们能够得到的三分射手，
Bogdanovic是一个典型的三分射手，
而Sabonis、Thad不是，
所以他们不太可能去拉开防守空间。
Still, I think Sabonis is an intriguing player with great upside, so it
wouldn't surprise me at all to see him become a starter – one way or another.
同时，我认为Sabonis是一个充满潜力的球员，
所以看他成为先发我并不会觉得太例外-无论是因为什么原因。
