[外絮] 10位尚未簽約的最佳自由球員(2024)

NBA’s 10 best free agents still unsigned on the open market
NBA 10位尚未簽約的最佳自由球員

第一段前言略過。
另外這是5天前的文章，那時Dinwiddie尚未簽約，
因此這篇也會略過已經回小牛的Dinwiddie

10. Markelle Fultz, guard: Fultz looked like he was turning his NBA career
around with the Orlando Magic before the wheels fell off last year. The former No. 1 overall pick has just never gotten over his shooting woes, and he
looked more tepid from deep than ever last season, finishing only 4-of-18 from three-point range on the season. Fultz can still be a determined driver,
crafty finisher, and capable playmaker when he gets into the paint. Still only 26 years old, it’s fair to wonder if there’s another chapter of Fultz’s
NBA career, or if time really has run out.

去年在奧蘭多魔術，Fultz看起來似乎正扭轉他的 NBA 職業生涯。這位前狀元一直沒有
克服自己的投籃困境，而且他在三分線外的表現比之前的賽季更冷，本賽季三分球18投4中。當Fultz進入油漆區，他仍然可以成為一個堅定的突破手、狡猾的終結者和有能力的組織者。年僅26歲的Fultz，我們有理由懷疑他的NBA職業生涯是否能再翻開新的篇章，或者時間是否真的不多了。

9. Talen Horton-Tucker, guard: THT’s progress has stalled since moving to
Utah. He struggles to get all the way to the rim on his drives, lacks a
reliable mid-range game, and has never made progress as a three-point shooter. Still, Horton-Tucker is only 23 years old and has a ton of great reps under
his belt with nearly 250 NBA games play and 55 starts. With a huge frame and
long arms for a guard, there’s still some upside here for a team with a real
development plan.

自從來到猶他，THT的進步就陷入了停滯。他很難在切入時一路突破到籃框，缺乏可靠的中距離投籃，並且在三分投射方面從未取得進步。儘管如此，Hirton-Tucker只有23歲，但已經打了近250場NBA比賽並先發了55場比賽，取得了許多出色的成績。一名擁有壯碩身材和長臂的後衛，對於一支有真正發展計劃的球隊來說仍然有一些優勢。

8. Spencer Dinwiddie, guard:(略)

7. Javonte Green, forward: Green was unsigned for most of last season as he
recovered from a knee injury, but he immediately looked like his old self upon joining the Chicago Bulls in March. The 6’4 forward is an explosive athlete
who brings energy on every possession and plays much bigger than his size. He’s an improved three-point shooter (37 percent each of the last two seasons), an elite leaper, a solid defender, and a threat in transition to make a big
play.

Green上賽季大部分時間都沒有簽約，因為他剛從膝傷中恢復，但在三月份加盟芝加哥公牛隊後，他立即看起來像以前的自己。這位身高6尺4寸的前鋒是一名爆發力十足的運動員，每次控球都充滿能量，而且能打出優於他原有身材的球賽內容。他的三分球命中率有所提高（過去兩個賽季命中率為37%）、優秀的彈跳手、可靠的防守者以及在攻防轉換能發揮重要作用的威脅。

6. Davis Bertans, forward: Bertans is an elite three-point shooter with size.The 6’10 forward is a career 39.6 percent shooter from behind the arc in his
career. He can’t do much else offensively, and is a big liability defensively, but there’s usually a roster spot out there for a knockdown shooter like
him.

Bertans是一名高大的優質三分射手。這位身高6尺10寸的前鋒在他的職業生涯中三分命中率為39.6%。他在進攻上不能做太多其他事情，並且在防守上也是一個很大的負擔，但通常一個像他這樣有威脅性的射手，聯盟名單會有他的位置。

5. Luke Kennard, wing: Kennard is legitimately one of the best three-point
shooters in the league. He’s shot better than 44 percent from three each of
the last five seasons. He’ll likely come back to the Grizzlies, but the fact
that he’s still out there gives an opportunity for another team to steal him.

Kennard無疑是聯盟中最好的三分射手之一。過去五個賽季他的三分球命中率都高於44%。他很可能會回到灰熊隊，但事實上他仍是自由球員身，這給了其他球隊插手的機會。

4. Precious Achiuwa, center: Achiuwa is a bouncy 6’9 big man with just enough length to handle small ball five duties. He’s a ‘garbage man’ style big
who can attack the glass, make hustle plays, and finish feeds inside. The
Knicks still need a backup center behind Mitchell Robinson, so it seems likely Achiuwa will get a deal to return to New York eventually.

Achiuwa是一位體能勁爆的6尺9寸大個子，且足以承擔小球的五號。他是一個「garbage
man」型的大個子，可以攻擊籃框，快攻，並在完成內線接應終結。尼克隊仍然需要
Mitchell Robinson身後的替補中鋒，因此Achiuwa最終很可能會返回紐約。

3. Lonnie Walker IV, guard: Walker is an athletic scoring guard who can fill
it up all over the floor. The 25-year-old shot 38.4 percent from three last
year, and also finished better than 66 percent of his rim attempts. If you
need a microwave scorer off the bench, Walker is the best option left on the
market.

Walker是運動型得分後衛，可以在場上填補各種空缺。這位25歲的球員去年的三分球命中率為38.4%，籃下命中率也高於66%。如果你需要一名替補搶分手，Walker是市場上最好的選擇。

2. Isaac Okoro, wing: Okoro hasn’t lived up to the hype as a former top-5
draft pick, but he’s made some subtle progress over the last year in
Cleveland. Always a tenacious on-ball defender who can check speedier guards
and stronger wings, Okoro finally looked hesitant as a three-point shooter
last year, knocking down 39.1 percent from deep. He still needs to up the
volume before teams take him seriously behind the arc, but at least his stroke is looking much better when he has enough time to get his shot off.

作為一名前五順位選秀球員，Okoro並沒有達到人們所期待的那樣，但他去年在克利夫蘭取得了一些微妙的進步。Okoro一直是一名強悍的持球防守者，可以抵擋速度快的後衛和強壯的側翼球員，他去年在三分線終於開始像個三分射手，三分球命中率達39.1%。在球隊認真看待他在三分線外之前，他仍然需要提高外線水準，但至少當他有足夠的機會投籃時，他的投籃看起來要好得多。

1. Tyus Jones, guard: Jones is a True Point Guard who does a great job
protecting the ball, making the open pass, and hitting an open shot. He was
the NBA’s leader in assist-to-turnover ratio last season, and he also hit 41.4 percent of his threes. He’ll always have limitations in terms of size and
athleticism, but Jones is so smart and skilled that he’s a perfect buy-low
candidate at this point in the offseason.

Jones是一名真正的控球後衛，他在護球、空檔傳球和空檔投籃方面做得很好。上季他的助攻失誤比是全聯盟第一，三分球命中率也高達41.4%。他在身材和運動能力方面總是受到限制，但Jones非常聰明且技術精湛，因此他是休賽期此時完美的逢低買進候選人。

原文第一段本有提到，各隊的球員格子和薪資空間都差不多了，這些球員必須要注意
這些還只是比較知名且有實績的幾名球員，還有更多自由球員準備失業
