In today’s NBA, it’s not often a team spends both of their draft picks on
guys that have spent at least 3 years in college.
在今日的NBA，一个队伍使用他们的选秀权选择至少三年级的大学生作为新秀并不常见。
But the Pacers did that in 2018 with UCLA junior Aaron Holiday (Round 1, Pick
23) and Missouri State senior Alize Johnson (Round 2, Pick 50).
但是溜马在2018年的选秀这么做了，选择了UCLA的三年级学生Aaron Holiday(首轮，23顺
位)与MSU的大四学生Alize Johnson(二轮，50顺位)。
Let’s take a closer look at why the Pacers settled on Holiday and Johnson:
让我们分析看看为何溜马选择了Holiday(以下简称小假日)与 Johnson(以下简称阿强)。
-UCLA PG-Aaron Holiday: The Pacers went into this draft believing they needed
a point guard in the system with Cory Joseph and Darren Collison entering
contract years. In drafting Holiday, the Pacers feel like they are getting a
younger Collison.
UCLA 后卫 小假日：溜马选择了他的原因是因为Corey Joseph 和 Darren Collison都是
合约年，
选择了小假日，溜马感觉就像是得到了另一个年轻的Collison。
Holiday was a tremendous shooter at UCLA, knocking home at least 40 percent
of his threes in each of his three seasons there. He led the Pac-12 in
scoring at 20.8 points per game this past season. The Pacers like that
Holiday has played on and off the ball, with his ability to shoot even more
efficiently off the ball a welcomed sign coming to a team with Victor Oladipo
often handling things. Yes, Holiday needs to clean up his decision-making in
regards to turnovers, but the Pacers see a guy who excels in the pick and
roll and can push the pace.
小假日是UCLA的疯狂射手，在他大学生涯的三个赛季，三分线命中率都达到至少40%，在
Pac-12联盟中这赛季他以每场至少20.8分遥遥领先，溜马喜欢小假日处理球的方式，而且
当他无持球时他的攻击会变得更有效率，可以与球队的Victor Oladipo经常持球的打法相
搭配，当然，小假日必须解决他的失误问题，但溜马注意到这家伙在挡拆上的表现十分优
异而且能够增加推进速度。
Defensively, the Pacers call Holiday a ‘bulldog’ and love his ability to
get underneath the ball due to his smaller height at 6-1. Holiday earned
first-team All-Pac 12 defensive team thanks to a 6-7 wingspan and a pesky
nature of play.
防守方面，溜马叫小假日"斗牛犬"，喜欢他利用他较矮6-1吋的身高从下方干扰球，
假日也是Pac-12联盟的防守一队，利用他6-7吋的臂展与黏人的防守带给对手压力。
In 2018-19, Holiday will enter the season as the team’s third point guard,
but Pritchard thinks the first-round pick will push for playing time. Why do
the Pacers feel like Holiday can defy the odds of most picks in the 20s not
turning into full-time starters? Because he’s an elite shooter, who can also
more than hold his own on the defensive end of the floor.
在2018-2019赛季，小假日将会以球队的第三号后卫登场，但是Pitchard认为小假日应该
多点上场时间，为何溜马认为小假日能够打破20顺位的选秀菜鸟的板凳命运进入轮替阵容
呢？因为他是一个杰出的射手，也同时在防守端能够展现韧性。
Kevin Pritchard Quote to Note: “He goes into the season behind Cory and
Darren, but I see him competing for minutes…I would be shocked if he didn’t
play some this year. When we look to the future and see Cory on a one-year
contract, Darren on a one-year contract, we felt like we really needed to
have a point guard in the pipeline that can maybe step into the backup role
in the future. When you are picking 23, it’s hard to project a starter
because the elite players are usually gone, but he has some characteristics
of a starter. He’s tough, little undersized, but he’s willing to compete
and that’s what we really wanted.”
Kevin Pritichard 下了一个注解：
"他是作为Cory和Darren的替补，但是我见过他的比赛多次了，如果他在新球季没些上场
时间我会很惊讶，当我们关注于未来以及注意到Cory合约只剩一年，Darren的合约也剩一
年，我们觉得我们确实需要另一个后卫能从板凳挺身而出，当你在23顺位时，你很难找到
一个先发等级的球员，因为通常杰出的选手已经被挑走了，但是小假日拥有成为先发的特
质，他很强韧，稍微矮小，但是他愿意去对抗任何人，而这就是我们想要的。"
-Missouri State F-Alize Johnson: When the second round rolls around in the
NBA, a smart approach for teams is to find a specialty player. Well Johnson
has a clear specialty. That is his elite ability to rebound the basketball.
MSU的前锋 阿强：
当进行二轮选秀时，对球队而言聪明的选择是找到有某种特质的球员，
而阿强确实拥有某种特质，他在篮板上的能力相当杰出。
This is a guy who had 20 double-doubles last season in the Missouri Valley
Conference and averaged a double-double in each of his 2 seasons at Missouri
State. Currently, the Pacers don’t really have a
tenacious/willing/consistent rebounder on their roster. Johnson is that, even
though he does it without freakish athletic ability. Indiana could use some
depth at power forward, particularly with a player of Johnson’s skillset.
Every roster should have a such a player because you never know when that
attribute can change a game (i.e. Tristan Thompson in Game 7 of the
Pacers/Cavs series).
这是一个上个球季在MSU拿下20次双十成绩的家伙，而且MSU大学生涯两个球季平均都拿下双
十成绩，显然的，溜马队伍中并没有一个顽固稳定的篮板手，阿强就是填补了这部分，尽
管他没有怪物级的身体能力。阿强的能力可以帮助溜马增强PF的深度，每个球队的阵容中
都该拥有一个这类型的球员，因为你从不知道他的贡献会何时改变比赛(例如Trisran
Tompson在溜马与骑士系列战中第七战的贡献)。
Now, Johnson definitely has to improve his shot. His shooting numbers
plummeted to 28 percent from behind the arc as a senior. The Pacers have
noticed a mechanical flaw in Johnson’s shot that must be corrected.
Offensively, Johnson is a bit of a rare player at 6-9. He entered high school
as a point guard, so Johnson is a very capable dribbler and initiator of the
offense.
现在，阿强非常需要改善他的投篮，他的三分线命中率在大四时急速下滑到28%，溜马已
经注意到阿强投篮动作必须修正的问题。进攻上，阿强是一个有些稀有的6-9吋的球员，
他在进入高中前是后卫，所以阿强对于运球和发动进攻有一定掌握。
Until Johnson’s offensive game comes around, he’s not likely to see major
minutes. But over the course of an 82-game season, he could make an impact
here or three. Depending on the Thad Young decision and how the Pacers
potentially fill that 4-spot, Johnson might be competing for a back-end
rotational spot this season. But it’s more likely Johnson observes for the
vast majority of his rookie campaign.
在阿强于进攻端能够有所贡献前，他不太可能会在主要时间上场，但在例行赛的82场比赛
中，他会在4号位与3号位间有所影响(不确定原文是否是这意思)，一切依Thad Yound的决
定以及溜马如何填补4号位空缺而定，阿强或许会作为板凳轮替阵容的竞争者出发，但更
有可能的是在新秀赛季观察他的表现。
Kevin Pritchard Quote to Note: “He’s a guy that if you said, 'Go eat some
glass and we are going to win the game.' He’s probably saying, ‘Do you want
salt or pepper?’ With that position, I wanted to have a guy that Nate
(McMillan) could throw out into a game and go guard somebody in February.
That says, ‘I don’t care about anything. Just put me on the floor in
February where everybody is tired and I’m going to do something.’ He’s
okay physically gifted. There’s just some guys that are always around the
ball. He has an amazing ability to find rebounds outside of his position. If
you draw a circle around some people and say this is his rebounding area, his
is a big, big rebounding area. I think he can be a guy who is a junkyard
defender.”
Kevin Pritchard吓了一个注解：
"他是那种如果你说去吃玻璃的话我们就会赢下比赛，他或许会回答说：想要一些盐或胡
椒吗？在那种时候，我希望拥有一个Nate可以扔到场上，而且能够在二月时做出防守，并
且说"我不在意任何事，在二月时所有人都累瘫了，让我上场做出贡献吧"，他是一个不错
的礼物，只有一些人能够总是找到球，他拥有不可思议的能力能够超越他的位置抓下篮板
，如果你画一个圈然后说这是他的篮板范围，那么阿强会有一个好大好大的篮板范围，我
认为阿强能够变成一个看门狗。"
心得；
希望阿强能够苦练，变成大号的Jimmy Butler，
今年选秀成果国外溜马迷比去年来的好评，
当初选叶子和阿尼柏古还蛮多人喷的，
小假日受到球迷喜爱，
至于乔洋，看来是掰了。
