Weekly recap 本週回顧

‧ Jaylen Wells, whom Ladder readers will remember from last year’s rankings, has been in a shooting slump. But new teammate Cedric Coward sounded like the vet when he offered encouragement to the 2024 All-Rookie selection. Maybe Coward can offer a few wise-before-his-years leadership tips to teammate Ja Morant.

Jaylen Wells——Ladder 讀者應該還記得他在去年的排名中出現過——最近陷入了投籃低
潮。不過，新隊友 Cedric Coward 展現出老將風範，給這位 2024 年最佳新秀陣容成員加油打氣。也許 Coward 也能把他那份早熟的領導智慧，傳授給隊友 Ja Morant。(好臭）

‧ Coward ranks seventh overall in true-shooting percentage (73.1%) but first in the NBA among players whohave scored 100 points or more.

Coward 目前在真實投籃命中率上排名第七（73.1%），但在得分達到 100 分以上的球員中，他是全聯盟第一。

‧ A pair of Ladder dwellers got compliments and encouragement from some Hall of Fame-bound opponents this week. Houston’s Kevin Durant said of Cooper Flagg’s up-and-down start with Dallas: “I think that you’re going from in college playing four and five to playing point guard, two guard, That’s going to be an adjustment period for everybody.” Then there was Golden State’s Draymond Green, urging on Edgecombe (see below).

本週有兩位榜上球員獲得了幾位準名人堂球員的稱讚與鼓勵。Kevin Durant 在談到 Cooper Flagg 起伏不定的開季表現時說道：「我覺得他從在大學打四號、五號位，到現在要打控球後衛或得分後衛，這對任何人來說都是個適應期。」此外，Draymond Green 也對 Edgecombe 給予鼓勵。

‧ After Flagg, probably no rookie is under more pressure than New Orleans forward Derik Queen, who was the Pelicans’ target when they traded a 2026 first-round pick to move up a few spots.

除了 Flagg 之外，承受最大壓力的新秀大概就是紐奧良前鋒 Derik Queen——鵜鶘為了選中他，不惜交易出 2026 年首輪籤以往前幾順位選人。

Storyline to watch 值得關注的焦點

The 11th man. We aren’t into Honorable Mentions, but this Class of 2025 looks deep enough that some new guys will be aced out of a final rung, not to mention All-Rookie first or second team status. Fortunately, there’s plenty of time forCharlotte’s Sion James, a member of the Hornets’ bumper rookie crop, to climb. The No. 33 pick is averaging 8.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting 62.2% and 70% on 3-pointers, and providing stout defense as a needed 3-and-D contributor. Despite a rough late-game moment on Tuesday.

第十一人。 我們通常不會特別提榮譽提名，但 2025 屆的新秀班實力之深，讓一些表現亮眼的新人恐怕連榜尾都擠不進，更別說能進入年度最佳新秀第一或第二隊。不過，夏洛特的 Sion James——這支黃蜂隊新秀群中的一員——仍有充足時間往上爬。這位第 33 順位新
秀場均 8.8 分、3.1 個籃板和 1.5 次助攻，投籃命中率達 62.2%，三分球命中率高達 70%，同時以穩健防守貢獻球隊，成為重要的「3D」型球員。儘管他在週二比賽最後階段出現了一個不太理想的失誤。

本週的新秀榜沒人掉出去也沒人衝上來 大家整體的數據波動也不大 感覺真的蠻穩定的
