Nike Hoop Summit (2) - NCAA

25. Enes Kanter, F/C, Kentucky Wildcats

The Swiss native put on the best performance of the night. His 34 points and
13 rebounds broke Nowitzki's all-time scoring record at the Hoop Summit. It
was a terrific all-around performance.

這個瑞士人今晚做出了最佳表現。他的34分13個籃板打破 Nowitzki 在 Hoop Summit 的
得分紀錄。這是很棒的全方位表現。


Kanter was a beast in the paint, muscling his way in for position and
regularly clawing his way through a pair of Team USA's high-profile bigs for
a whopping eight offensive boards.

Kanter 在禁區就像個野獸，他用身體佔據了位置，並且通常在美國隊兩個引人注目的
大個子之間擠出空隙，拿下驚人的8個進攻籃板。


NBA scouts love Kanter's toughness and his offensive versatility. Not only
was he a bear around the basket, but he also showed off his ability to put
the ball on the floor and hit the outside J. On Saturday night, Kanter looked
like a future lottery pick.

NBA 球探們愛死 Kanter 的強悍和他的進攻多樣性。不僅是他在籃下就像頭熊一樣，而且
他也展現了球場上掌控球的能力，還能在外線跳投。從星期六晚上的表現來看，Kanter
看來就像是未來的樂透籤。


Still, a few questions remain. While Kanter is a terrific low-post player and
isn't afraid of contact, he's not particularly quick or explosive. He
measured a decent 6-foot-10.5 in shoes with a 7-1 wingspan. So that will
help. But he's far from the elite athlete NBA teams look for high in the
lottery. He's more like an aggressive Greg Monroe.

不過仍然有些問題存在。雖然 Kanter 是個絕好的低位球員並且不害怕身體接觸，但他並
不是特別的快或者有爆發力。他穿鞋身高為極佳的6呎10吋半，臂展為7呎1。這身型將對
他很有幫助。不過他離那種 NBA 球隊尋求的高順位樂透選秀籤的精英球員還有段差距。
他更像是兇猛版的 Greg Monroe。


The other issue concerns Kanter's college eligibility. Kanter played
professional ball in Turkey before leaving for the U.S. While he claims he
wasn't paid (an assertion some have called into question) he did play with
professional athletes, a rule that has, in the past, hurt a player's
eligibility. But the NCAA is in the process of changing the rule, and there
are reports that Kanter has already been cleared to play for Kentucky next
season. If he plays, and puts on similar performances next year, he'll be a
top-10 pick.

另一個重要問題是 Kanter 的大學籃球資格。Kanter 來美國之前曾經在土耳其打過職業
籃球。儘管他聲稱沒有拿工資（這個聲明已經受到一些人的質疑），但他的確曾與職業球
員交手過，根據過去的經驗，這是會傷害到一名球員的資格。但是 NCAA 正在改變這項規
則，而且有報導指出 Kanter 已經得到批準可以在下賽季為 Kentucky 出賽。如果他明年
順利出賽，並且能打出同樣優秀的表現，他將會是前十順位。



3. Kyrie Irving, PG, Duke Blue Devils

Irving got off to a slow start, but once the fourth quarter hit, he took over
the game. Whether he was slashing to the basket or playing lockdown defense
on the perimeter, you had to be impressed with how he stepped up his game
when it mattered.

Irving 出場相當慢熱，不過一但到了第四節，他就掌控了比賽。無論是火速殺到籃框下
或者在外線緊盯對方的防守，你必須被他那種一到關鍵時刻，就繃起神經的特點留下深刻
印象。


His focus is extraordinary and not just in the waning moments of the game.
Before the game, while many of his teammates were goofing around in
shootaround with trick shots, Irving was locked in, working on some ball
handling moves and his jump shot. He was taking this thing seriously.

他的專注力非常優秀，並且不只是在比賽尾聲才這樣。比賽之前，儘管許多 Irving 的隊
友都在用雜耍動作打發投籃訓練，但他卻獨自在一旁練習控球動作以及跳投。他非常看重
這些練習。


Irving has the makings of a terrific NBA prospect. He's the most well rounded
point guard in the class. He's quick, can shoot with range and has no problem
getting to the basket. He should be a beast at Duke next year.

Irving 擁有成為極棒的 NBA 新秀的資質。他是這屆最全面的控衛。他的速度很快，可
以在外線投籃，並且切入突破也沒有問題。明年他在 Duke 應該會是一頭野獸。


Scouts have him pegged as a top-10 pick in 2011.

球探們認為他在 2011 選秀可以排到前十順位。



9. Terrence Jones, F, uncommitted

I thought Jones was one of the most intriguing prospects, both in practice
and in the game. The 6-8 lefty forward from Portland is very versatile. He's
long, athletic, has a NBA body, can handle, is an excellent passer, attacks
the basket and can even shoot with range.

我認為 Jones 是最耐人尋味的新秀之一，無論是在練習還是比賽中。這位來自波特蘭的6
呎8吋的左撇子前鋒技能多變。他的軀幹很長，有運動力，擁有 NBA 般強壯的身體，而且
可以控球，是一個出色的傳球者，得分能力也不錯，甚至能有外線投籃。


Jones was a key player down the stretch for Team USA. They used him to guard
multiple players on the floor and he showed some real toughness. I've heard
scouts compare him to Lamar Odom.

Jones 全場都是美國隊的關鍵球員。他們讓他在球場上防守各種球員，他也展現出自己的
強悍。我聽到有球探把他比喻成 Lamar Odom。


He's deciding between Oregon and Washington (along with a few others,
including Kentucky and UCLA) for next season. He may not be a one-and-done
player along the lines of Barnes, Kanter and Irving, but I'm pretty sure
we'll see him in the NBA in 2011 or 2012.

目前他在 Oregon 和 Washington（還有包括 Kentucky 和 UCLA 在內的其他學校）之間
選擇。他可能不會像 Barnes、Kanter 和 Irving 那樣一年速成，但我很確定我們將在
2011 或 2012 的 NBA 看到他的身影。
