No.65

Trevor Ariza

Rockets | Forward | Last year: 83

Not every defender of a certain size or body type can defend across multiple
positions. Just because a player is tall enough to guard power forwards
doesn’t mean he should, and just because a player is relatively quick doesn’t
necessarily mean he has any business defending point guards. Ariza is the
uncommon wing for whom almost any assignment makes sense. He’s likely his
team’s best defensive option from 1 to 4 at any particular moment in time.
There are better defenders than Ariza at any particular spot. Good, specific
defense is helpful to a team. But broad, elastic defense like Ariza’s is
something more.

不是所有的防守者有著一定的體格就可以防守多個位置的球員。一個球員夠高去守大前鋒

，不代表他應該去守。一個球員夠快不代表他該去守控衛。Ariza卻是一個特殊的存在，

他能做到任何任務。隊上要守1號到4號位，他都會是最好的選擇。每個位置都有比他還會

防守的人，當然特定的守位能有效幫助球隊，但是像他這種能守多個位置的能做到更多事

。


In a sense, it’s because of Ariza that James Harden’s MVP case was so stark.
Houston’s defense (sixth) outranked its offense (12th) last season to little
acclaim. Ariza wasn’t the sole reason why, though he suped up the coverage by
handling whatever assignment was needed and specifically shielded Harden from
matchups that would be too physically demanding or exploitative. Harden’s
defense improved because Ariza’s presence controlled the stakes. The MVP
runner-up’s offense dominated on a nightly basis because Ariza ensured that
the most taxing assignments were handled. – R.M.

因為如此，Ariza讓Harden有機會爭取MVP。去年火箭隊的防守(第六名)比進攻(第十二名

)還好。Ariza雖然不是唯一的原因，但是他快速協助來達到任何球隊所需的任務，並且讓

Harden不用在對位上不用那麼吃體力和爆發力。Harden防守進步也是因為Ariza出現掌控

全場。MVP第二(應該是說Harden)能在每晚用攻擊支配全場，是因為Ariza能掌握最繁重的

任務。

No.64

Markieff Morris

Suns | Forward | Last year: —

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times for Markieff Morris in
2014–15, as Phoenix’s scoring-minded stretch power forward reached new
heights statistically but also ran afoul of the law and lost his beloved twin
brother, Marcus, to Detroit in a trade. The 25-year-old Morris is, at heart,
a brash gamer: he’s missed just four games during his four-year career, and
he seeks the ball in clutch situations, ranking fifth in the NBA in points
scored during the final minute of a one-possession game. A tough all-around
cover for defenders due to his combination of mobility and strength, Morris
relies heavily on his comfort in the mid-range and perimeter to generate his
scoring opportunities, but he can also create a shot for himself in
one-on-one situations and overpower smaller defenders going to the basket.
Morris graded out well defensively last season, ranking sixth among power
forwards in Defensive Real Plus-Minus, and his frame suits him well here too:
he’s physical and competitive enough to make post-minded fours work for
their points, and yet he’s quick and agile enough to track players out to
the arc.


對於Morris來說這一季在鳳凰城是最好也是最壞的時光，做為一個得分為主的大後鋒拿到

了自己的最佳數據，但他也犯法被逮捕也失去最親愛的雙胞胎兄弟Marcus，他被交易至底

特律。25歲的Morris實際上是一位性急的球員：他這四年生涯只缺席了四場球賽並且在關

鍵時刻總是像隊友要球，在最後一分鐘的得分排行榜上佔據第五的位置。利用本身的速度

與力量他是一位可以守1~5號的防守悍將，Morris很了解他中距離的舒適點並把握住機會

，而且他也能在一對一單打中創造投籃機會或是輾過比他弱小的防守者攻擊籃框。Morris

在上一季的防守非常好，在防守真實正負值中大前鋒中排名第六而且他的身材非常適合他

在大前鋒位置的發揮，有非常好的對抗性與積極態度去背框單打獲得上罰球線的機會，並

且夠快與敏捷去對位在外線的對手。



Morris’s devotion to unfiltered self-expression led to 15 technical fouls
last season, second-most in the NBA, and it’s caused him to make waves with
coach Jeff Hornacek, the Suns’ fan base and the Phoenix Police Department.
Nevertheless, his bargain contract—$32 million over the next four years—
ensures he will be given a second, a third and a fourth chance if the bridges
in Phoenix are burned. — B.G.

Morris無法控制自己的情緒使他上一季被吹了15次技術犯規，這是全聯盟第二，這也使他

與總教練Jeff Hornacek、太陽球迷與鳳凰城警察署產生摩擦。然而經過協商後總價3200

萬美金的四年合約至少能確保他就算破壞跟鳳凰城之間的關係也能獲得第二、第三與第四

次機會。

No.63

Marcin Gortat

Wizards | Center | Last year: 58

Gortat is a blue-collar starting center who never seems to get his due. His
own coach often opts to close games without him; Gortat averaged just five
fourth-quarter minutes per game in the regular season, the lowest mark on the
team save for benchwarmer Garrett Temple. Some of those choices were
defensible based on matchup and others less so. Regardless, Gortat is too
good a player for that kind of minutes allocation to stand as an indictment.
Plenty of teams would be lucky to have a center who rolls hard to the rim,
defends capably, and rebounds well.


Gortat是一個藍領先發中鋒雖然他似乎從未獲得肯定，他的教練常常選擇在比賽後端將他

擺在板凳上；Gortat例行賽在每場第四節平均只有五分鐘的上場時間，跟隊上替補

Garrett Temple一樣低。會有這樣的決定很大一部份是因為防守的對位與其他因素，

這樣做Gortat算是非常浪費Gortat的能力，大部分的球隊是很難有一位可以進攻籃框、有

防守能力而且很會搶籃板的中鋒。


That balance alone puts Gortat in rare company as a well-sized NBA center who
helps his team across the board. On offense he works best on the move,
slicing through space on light feet just as a play develops. What might seem
like opportunism is earned through acute awareness and finished by a soft
touch when power dunking isn’t an option. Should a possession turn stagnant,
Gortat also has a functional, low-flash post game—basic drop steps into baby
hooks and other textbook fare. None of Gortat’s individual skills stand out
much against the league’s finest. When interwoven, however, they form the
kind of tight-knit proficiency that makes Gortat one of the NBA’s more
effective centers. – R.M.



Gortat的平均能力使他成為少數能夠在各方面都幫到球隊的大型中鋒，進攻端他的移動

動做得很好，利用腳步去切割空間。當機會被創造但不適合扣籃時他可以柔軟的將球

，當球賽陷入僵局Gortat可以打破這種局面，利用低位單打基本的腳步去鉤射或是其他的

進攻方式。Gortat沒有一個技巧是全聯盟最佳的，不過在這些多樣化的能力湊在一起讓他

成為NBA很有效率的中鋒之一。
