No.80

George Hill

Pacers | Guard | Last year: —

There are two George Hills. One is an unassuming caretaker who works best along
side a star perimeter player, spending most of his offensive possessions
spotting up and cutting away from the ball. He swings between both guard spots
to handle the toughest defensive assignments and, in the process, relieve his
backcourt counterpart.

George Hills有兩個型態，一個是謙卑的輔佐明星的中距離發動進攻的球員。把所有的進

攻擺在定點射手及切入。他在雙能衛的位子切換，並接下最困難的防守任務，讓另一名後

衛能喘口氣。


The other was affectionately dubbed “Indiana George” by Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich. What separates the two is abandon; “Indiana George” was named as
such in honor of Hill’s senior season at IUPUI, in which the guard we’ve
come to know as a model of restraint exploded as a slashing, dynamic,
22-point-per-game scorer. Hill had never been able to tap back into that zone
consistently as a pro until last season, when he returned midseason to a Pacers
team that had lost Paul George and let Lance Stephenson walk in free agency.
Hill took over. In his abbreviated season, Hill launched around screens to
give Indiana the creative sustenance it desperately needed; without him, the
Pacers’ offense cratered by nine points per 100 possessions, per NBA.com.


另一個則是被popovich稱為Indiana George，他在IUPUI的第四年被冠上這樣的榮耀。

Hill這個我們目前熟知的自我克制(少投射)的後衛典型，在當年，可是個場場不斷攻擊，

不斷跑動的場均22分的得分手。

然而上季前，他都沒辦法持續地回到那個狀態，直到上季，溜馬失去了Paul George，舞王

變FA，他才接管了比賽。在上季，他在掩護後射籃來製造溜馬所需的攻擊機會。沒有他

，溜馬每一百次攻擊將會少掉9分。


Hill, meanwhile, scored 19.6 points, notched 6.3 assists, and grabbed 5.1
rebounds per 36 minutes despite working his way back from injury and into the
mix of a changed roster. This was Indiana George realized. The realities of
the Pacers’ roster had demanded that Hill be something other than the
wallflower he had been previously and he responded with the most significant
output of his career. He could still space the floor if need be (Hill ranked
in the 96th percentile of spot-up shooters last season, per Synergy Sports)
and continued the taxing work of picking up the best guards in the league,
night after night. Hill merely did so while making it his business to
manufacture offense—expanding his value in newfound application. – R.M.


在他傷癒回到大幅改變的球隊後，他繳出了Per36:19.6分、6.3助攻、5.1籃板的成績。

他回到了Indiana George的狀態，現實面上溜馬人手的短缺要求Hill而不只是以前的定點

射手。他還是可以做好以前的工作，防守最難防守的後衛，但他也透過組織進攻，大幅擴

展他的價值。

No.79

Brandon Knight

Suns | Guard | Last year: —

Knight’s numbers fell off a cliff when he was traded to the Suns, as he
dealt with an ankle injury that would end his season in mid-March and require
surgery in April. Despite that inauspicious beginning in the desert, and
lingering questions about his fit alongside Eric Bledsoe, Knight nevertheless
received a gigantic seal of approval from Suns GM Ryan McDonough in the form
of a five-year, $70 million contract in July. Those five months certainly
qualify as a disorienting rollercoaster.


Knight的名次在他被交易到太陽之後大幅掉落，因為他腳踝的傷讓他在3月就報銷，並在

4月接受手術。即使這樣不順的事情發生，還有跟Bledsoe合不來，七月他還是從太陽GM

McDonough手中得到了一份大約，五年7000萬。這五個月以來他的人生起起伏伏，像是雲霄飛

車般。


Expectations should be fairly low for the Suns after their off-season overhaul,
giving Knight, 23, plenty of time to get comfortable. A skilled pick-and-roll
playmaker with dependable range and enough passing instincts to get by, Knight
makes sense as an on-ball initiator and off-ball floor-balancer next to
Bledsoe. That theory must become a reality this year. Defensively, Knight must
do a better job at the point of attack, and it’s about time for him to
translate his solid physical tools and quickness into better defensive numbers.
Last season, he ranked outside the top 50 among point guards in Defensive
Real Plus-Minus, and Michael Carter-Williams, his replacement in Milwaukee,
bested Knight’s defensive rating after the trade. If things break right and
Knight returns to good health, he should be in the mix as a top-15 point guard
by the end of the season. – B.G.

太陽休賽季的補強之差，23歲的Brandon Knight可以有更多時間恢復。一個有能力P&R的

組織者，有一定的射程能力及傳球視野。他能在持球發動和無球跑動之間與Bledsoe合作。

這樣的理論今年應該要實現。防守端，Knight應該做的更好，將他的體格加上速度轉換成

防守。上季他的防守在控衛中排五十名以外，而取代他在公鹿的MCW在轉隊後防守變得比

Knight還好了。如果事事順利，健康回歸的話，Knight應該可以躍昇為聯盟前15控。

No.78

Tobias Harris

Magic | Forward | Last year: —

Tobias Harris cashed in on a career year in 2014–15 to take home a four-year,
$64 million near-max contract with the Magic. But who, exactly, did the
Magic secure? One of the NBA’s most prolific young scorers? An inexperienced
starter who has yet to play real minutes on a winner or make the playoffs? A
quasi-combo forward who might be able to play two positions well but also
might be stuck between positions? Yes, yes, and yes.

去年生涯年的表現讓Harris得到了一份4年6400萬的接近頂薪的合約。但魔術有風險嗎?

NBA的年輕得分好手? 對

一個從來沒有在有競爭力的球隊打球，也沒打過季後賽的人? 對

一個能打雙前鋒的人，但是有時也會兩個位置都打不好的人? 對



The 6’8” Harris was one of just four age-22 or younger players to average
at least 17 points a game last season (joining No. 1 overall picks Anthony
Davis and Kyrie Irving, and teammate Victor Oladipo), and he has the makings
of a solid all-around scoring game that features doses of post-ups, spot-up
shooting from outside, one-on-one attacks off the dribble, and pick-and-roll
opportunities. At the same time, he didn’t exactly set the nets ablaze with
his efficiency, and he stacked up his numbers in dozens of meaningless games
for a 25-win team that fired coach Jacque Vaughn midseason. If his scoring
acumen still needs to be validated, his defense is probably due for an
overhaul under new coach Scott Skiles. Harris ranked 72nd at his position in
Defensive Real Plus-Minus last season, and the Magic, who ranked No. 25 in
defensive efficiency, were nearly four points worse on that end with him on the
court.

There’s a very real “To be determined” quality hanging over Harris, who
needs to show the world that the Magic re-signed him because he was a legit
keeper, and not just someone they were afraid to lose for nothing. – B.G.

6'8的Harris是四個在22歲以下去年平均能得至少17分的球員(Anthony Davis、Irving、

Oladipo)，他有全能得分表現，他能做到低位、外圍定點射手、自己運球創造得分、P&R。

但是他還沒完全展現他的效率，他的成績是建立在一堆無意義的比賽，一隻25勝的球隊，

教練還被開除了。為了讓他的得分更加有效，改善他的防守是新的教練Scott Skiles的任

務。他去年防守在他的位置排第72，魔術排第25名。他在場上的時候比他不再場上差了四

分。

他還很有潛力，他需要告訴世界魔術續約他是因為他是合理的，而不是一個失敗的賭注。
