The beginning of what looks to be the fastest offseason in NBA history is almost here for the Utah Jazz.
对犹他爵士来说，NBA历史上最短休赛期的开启看起来已经近在咫尺。
The draft is a little less than two weeks away. Free agency will soon follow. The start of training camp is almost upon us. And then, a start to another season.
距离选秀还有不到两周的时间，自由球员市场也很快就将开启，紧随其后的就是训练营，然后，又是新赛季的开始。
By now, the Jazz are deep into their draft preparation as they are readying a big board for their No. 23 pick of the first round. They are weighing the pros and cons of different prospects.
到目前为止，爵士正在潜心准备着他们的选秀，为他们手中的首轮23签准备一份榜单。他们正在权衡不同新人之间的优缺点。
We are doing the same. Last month, we put together a study on three players the Jazz could be in play for with their pick. Now, we study three more.
我们也在做相同的事。在上个月，我们研究过了三名爵士可能用首轮选走效力的球员。现在，我们再研究另外三名。
Tyler Bey, Colorado
泰勒-贝 科罗拉多大学
The Jazz need a few things this offseason. They need to get bigger and longer at the wing spots. They need to get better defensively. They need to get more athletic.
爵士的休赛期需要一些新鲜血液，他们的侧翼位置需要补充更高更长的球员。他们的防守端需要更强。他们需要更多的运动力。
Bey becomes intriguing for the Jazz, potentially, at No. 23. He’s 6-foot-7. He’s got a 7-foot-1 wingspan. But, the athleticism is striking. And the defense is striking. Athletically, Bey tested almost off the charts at the NBA combine. These were his numbers: His vertical is 43 inches. His no-step vertical is 37 inches. He has terrific lateral quickness. When you combine that with his physical measurables, especially the wingspan, you’ve got an almost elite athlete.
贝成为了爵士在23顺位的香饽饽。他身高6尺7，臂展7尺1。但他的运动能力惊人的出色，而且防守很出色。在身体素质方面，贝在NBA联合试训上的测试数据几乎打破了记录。他的数据是：垂直起跳43英寸，原地起跳37英寸。他的横移速度非常迅捷。一旦你把这些与他的身体数据，尤其是他的臂展相结合时，你会看到一位精英级别的劲爆侧翼。
More than that, Bey is a terrific defender, and precisely the kind of defender the Jazz need. He’s among the best wing defenders in the draft. He uses great anticipation to slide his feet and stay in front of ballhandlers. He uses his long arms to slide into passing lanes. His feet and lateral movement allow him to be switchable on the perimeter and beyond.
更重要的是，贝是一位出色的防守者，而且正是爵士队所需要的防守类型。他是选秀中最好的侧翼防守人之一。他可以利用灵敏的预判来靠侧滑步保持待在持球手的前面。他可以用一双长臂干扰传球路线。他的脚步和横能力让他有能力换防到外线乃至更多。
Bey is good enough as a defender that he might be able to get onto the floor as a rookie. And the fact that he’s so versatile as a defender makes him a potentially valuable commodity when it comes draft time. His defensive tools go beyond the physical as well. He anticipates a play ahead, which leads to steals and runouts in transition. And his quickness and athletic ability allow him to be a surprisingly good rim protector for a wing.
贝在防守端足够出色，也许他还可以在新秀第一年就上场比赛。要知道，他在防守端非常全面，这使得他在选秀中可以成为一名潜在的优质股。他的防守端也不仅限于利用身体。他会提前进行预判，这让他在转换进攻的时候收集不少的抢断和盖帽。而他的速度和运动能力足以让他成为侧翼位置上一个超级棒的护框手。
He’s not all that different than another Colorado alum, Andre Roberson. In fact, he’s more athletic than Roberson at the same stage. Now, Roberson became one of the top five defenders in the league before he encountered the injury bug. He was so good defensively that he warranted a big-money contract while having very little game offensively. It remains to be seen if Bey can develop into that level of defender. But the upside is there, and that ability could resonate with the Jazz on draft night.
他和另一位科罗拉多大学的校友安德烈-罗伯森并没什么不同。事实上，在同一个舞台中，他也许比罗伯森的运动能力要更出色。现在，罗伯森在在遭遇伤病前可是联盟前五的防守人之一。他的防守非常好，这让他在进攻端几乎为0的情况下还是拿到了一份大合同。贝是否能发展成那个级别的防守者还有待观察。但他的上限摆在那里，这可能会在选秀夜里和爵士产生共鸣。
As good as he is defensively, Bey has quite a ways to go offensively. He does have attributes. His athleticism allows him to be very good in transition. He sees open spaces and cuts well to the basketball. He’s a reliable shooter out to about 15 feet. He’s a terrific finisher on the interior and is capable of finishing above the rim.
尽管贝有着出色的防守，但他在进攻端还有很长的路要走。他确实有特点。他的运动能力让他在转换进攻里表现出色。他可以看到空位并有着很棒的空切能力。他在15尺内是一位可靠的射手。他也是一名出色的内线终结者，有能力在篮筐上方终结。
But, the Jazz offense is predicated on spacing, and Bey doesn’t offer that spacing. At least not right away. He was a 30 percent 3-point shooter at Colorado. Much like Roberson when he was a Buffalo, Bey played primarily power forward and on the interior and wasn’t asked to take a lot of threes.
但是，爵士的进攻建立在空间之上，而贝并不能拉开空间。至少现在不行。他在科罗拉多的三分命中率只有30%。和罗伯森在水牛队的时候一样，贝主要打大前锋，在内线活动，没有人要求他投很多三分。
Bey also isn’t great at creating with the ball in his hands. But, that is a lot less of an issue for the Jazz, and this is where fit comes in. With Mike Conley, with Donovan Mitchell, with Joe Ingles and Bojan Bogdanovic, Bey wouldn’t need to or be asked to create his own offense. He just needs to be a finisher, and he’s a terrific finisher. But, his jumper has to evolve to the point where it doesn’t sacrifice spacing. That’s where the improvement needs to happen.
有球在手时，贝也不擅长持球创造空间。但这对爵士来说算不上什么问题，反而是非常适合的方面。在有了迈克-康利，多诺万-米切尔，乔-英格尔斯和博扬-博格达诺维奇的情况下，贝就不需要或者被要自主创造进攻得分。他只需要成为一个终结者就行了，而他正好也是一个很棒的终结者。但是，他的跳投必须要提高到不会破坏空间的程度才行。这就是他需要提高的地方。
Even so, Bey’s measurables and defense are both so good that he represents significant value potentially at No. 23.
即便如此，贝的体测数据和防守端表现都很好，他在潜在的23顺位人选中有着巨大的价值。
Robert Woodard, Mississippi State
罗伯特-伍达德 密西西比州大
Woodard is different from Bey but fits the same mold as an athletic wing with superior length. He’s 6-foot-7 with a seven-foot wingspan. He’s young in his basketball career but 21 years old at the same time. Once upon a time, the Utah Jazz drafted a former Mississippi State Bulldog at No. 23 who fit the mold of a big wing and Rodney Hood has gone on to a productive career. (Yes, Hood finished his collegiate career at Duke … work with me here.)
伍德不同于贝，但有着相同的模样，都是个有着惊人长度的劲爆侧翼。他的篮球生涯还很短暂，但同时他已经21岁了。在此之前，犹他爵士曾在23顺位选中过一位前密西西比州大牛头犬的球员，他完全符合高大侧翼的形状而且罗德尼-胡德已经有了一个非常出彩的职业生涯。(是的，胡德是在杜克大学结束了他的大学生涯……)
In terms of upside, Woodard has plenty of it. He has a lot of natural talent, but he’s still a bit raw and in need of development. But the tools are there. He’s got a nice jumper from deep and a nice high release. He’s a very good athlete in traffic and bold enough to finish through and over people above the rim. He’s good in transition on both ends of the ball. He finishes well offensively, and defensively he’s a chase-down block threat.
要说上限的话，伍达德确实蛮高的。他生来就天赋十足，不过他仍然有些粗糙，还需要进步。但他的身体天赋就摆在那里。他有不错的远距离投篮和高出手点。他在对抗下仍然有很强的运动能力，而且敢于突破人堆，在篮框上方强硬终结。他在攻守两端的转换中表现出色。在进攻端，他有着不俗的终结能力；而在防守端，他有着封盖的威胁。
Offensively, Woodyard has catch-and-shoot upside. He moves well without the basketball, which makes him a potentially nice fit for the Jazz. He’s competent off the dribble, but not a threat to be a primary playmaker. But, as is the case with Bey, the Jazz don’t need a primary playmaker. They have more than enough of those guys. He projects as a guy who can score without needing the basketball. What Woodyard does well, it fits with what the Jazz need.
在进攻端，伍达德的接球投篮还有提高的空间。他无球跑位不错，这让他成为爵士的一位潜在好人选。他的运球后投篮不错，可并没有成为首席playmaker的威胁。但就像贝的情况一样，爵士并不需要一位组织核心。他们的持球手够多了。他预期会成为一个不需要有球在手的无球得分者。伍达德所擅长的，正是爵士所需要的。
Woodyard will have some challenges defensively, although he’s not a bum on that end. He’s going to have to prove that he can guard quicker players. His shot can be inconsistent at times. As was mentioned, he’s not great at creating his own shot, but he wouldn’t have to on this roster. He needs physical strength, but physical maturation will almost assuredly come.
伍达德在防守端仍面临不少挑战，尽管他在这方面并不是一无是处。他必须证明自己有能力防守速度较快的球员。他的投篮有时会不稳定。就像刚才所提到的那样，他不擅长自主创造投篮机会，但这项技术也不是他亟需的。他需要对抗和力量，不过他的身体成熟大概率会如期而至。
As is the case with many players, how will he develop once he gets to the league? If he does at an accelerated pace, he has a chance to be a steal, because he has physical tools aplenty.
和许多类似的球员一样，一旦他进入联盟，他将会如何发展呢?如果他能加速成长，那么他就有机会成为本届的一偷，因为他的身体天赋完全足够了。
Jalen Smith, Maryland
杰伦-史密斯 马里兰大学
The Jazz have Rudy Gobert in his prime at the center spot. Why would they spend a first-round pick on a true center like Smith?
在中锋的位置上，爵士已经有了年轻的鲁迪-戈贝尔了。那为什么他们还要把首轮选秀权用在像史密斯这样的正印中锋身上呢?
Well, for a couple of reasons.
好的，是因为几个原因。
First, Smith has rotational upside right away. Second, Smith’s strengths very much complement Gobert’s strengths. So much so that you may actually in some situations be able to play the two together. Third, the Jazz lost a lot of basketball games in the minutes that Gobert was on the bench. Smith could alleviate some of those issues, even as a rookie.
首先，史密斯有能力迅速进入轮换。其次，史密斯和戈贝尔能够很好地优势互补。在某些情况下，你甚至可以同时上他们的双塔阵容。第三，在戈贝尔坐在板凳上的时候，爵士输了很多场比赛。尽管还只是个新人，但史密斯也能缓解这些问题。
Smith is a nice blend offensively as a center. He can really shoot, which would make him the first true center of the Quin Snyder era capable of consistently stretching to 3-point range. Smith is also an excellent pick-and-roll player. This is vital for the Jazz, because so much of what they do revolves around their center spot being able to set screens and become a roll threat. Smith is a true roll threat. He’s got terrific touch around the hoop. He can finish above the rim. He’s a good rebounder on both ends and he puts his long arms to good use.
作为中锋，史密斯的进攻端很全面。他的投射很强，这有机会让他成为斯奈德时代里首位真正意义上可以持续命中三分的中锋。史密斯还是一名优秀的挡拆顺下好手。这对爵士来说非常重要，因为他们的一切战术都是围绕着中锋来设立掩护并创造顺下威胁来进行的。史密斯是一个真正的顺下威胁。他在篮筐周围的终结手感很好。他还可以在篮筐上方终结。他在攻防两端都是一位很出色的篮板手，能够很好地利用自己的一双长臂。
Defensively, he’s not as polished. He’s a good rim protector, however, and that helps. He has great hands which will help him on both ends. His big question is can he hold up defensively against pick and rolls. And, if the Jazz want to play him and Gobert together against a team with a bigger lineup, can Smith hold up at the power forward spot.
在防守端，他需要打磨。不过，他是个护框好手，这很有用。他有一双大手，这在攻防两端都可以带来帮助。他最大的问题是能否应对好挡拆。以及，如果爵士想让他和戈伯特一起出战，用大个轮换迎战的话，史密斯能打好大前锋的位置吗?
The Jazz are still happy with the upside of Tony Bradley, their backup big man. But, they also aren’t hesitant to create competition there, whether it be from drafting someone like Smith, or using free agency money to bring in another big.
爵士仍很满意替补内线托尼-布拉德利的上限。但是，他们也会毫不犹豫地提高这一位置的竞争力，无论是通过选一位像史密斯这样的球员，还是在自由市场上引进另一个大个子。
The beginning of what looks to be the fastest offseason in NBA history is almost here for the Utah Jazz.
对犹他爵士来说，NBA历史上最短休赛期的开启看起来已经近在咫尺。
The draft is a little less than two weeks away. Free agency will soon follow. The start of training camp is almost upon us. And then, a start to another season.
距离选秀还有不到两周的时间，自由球员市场也很快就将开启，紧随其后的就是训练营，然后，又是新赛季的开始。

到目前为止，爵士正在潜心准备着他们的选秀，为他们手中的首轮23签准备一份榜单。他们正在权衡不同新人之间的优缺点。
We are doing the same. Last month, we put together a study on three players the Jazz could be in play for with their pick. Now, we study three more.
我们也在做相同的事。在上个月，我们研究过了三名爵士可能用首轮选走效力的球员。现在，我们再研究另外三名。
