一样是Hollinger scouting 其他重要离队球员重要参考资料，先搬回家放 :P KYLE KORVER Scouting report + Long-range shooting wing with good size. Good shooter off curls. + Struggles in one-on-one defense but solid overall. Strong and has fast hands. + Won't create own shot but can post up small wings. Good court vision. Analysis Korver remains deadly from outside, nailing 43.4 percent of his 3s and 40.2 percent of his long 2s to finish fifth among shooting guards in true shooting percentage. What I particularly liked was that two-thirds of his shots were 3s; in past seasons too many of his tries were long 2s. Chicago ran fewer pin-downs for him with the second unit and his usage rate dropped because of that, but he has shown he can be an absolutely deadly sniper. However, it would be nice if he could get to the basket once in a while. Or even once a week. Korver had 15 shots in the basket area the entire season, which is pathetic, and as you might imagine he had a low free throw rate, too. That puts a ton of pressure on him to shoot at a very high percentage, a category that's very volatile from year to year. On a more positive note, he's very good finding open teammates when opponents race out to him on the perimeter, and his pure point rating was among the best of any wing player. Defensively, Korver isn't somebody you'd want to leave on an island against good scorers, but he's a good team defender who has fast hands, plus he's big enough to bang with larger wings inside. His rebound rate is poor for a player of his size, but he had good Synergy numbers and the Bulls performed just as well with him on the court. ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Louis Williams Scouting report + Small, shoot-first guard with outstanding quickness and awesome shot fake. + Draws fouls, creates shots and won't turn it over. Poor vision. Middling shooter. + Too small to guard 2s, but can defend 1s when paired with a bigger point guard. Analysis Williams led the Sixers in scoring and PER despite coming off the bench, though he remains more of a high-volume producer of not terribly high-quality shots. The secret to his value is in his miniscule turnover rate. Williams created all these shots while producing the lowest rate of any point guard and among the lowest in the league. The Sixers set a record for fewest turnovers by a team last season, and Williams was a major reason. Of course, critics would say one reason he never turned it over is that he never tried to pass -- only five point guards had a lower assist rate. However, Williams' ordinary TS% and assist numbers mean that his best use is still to create shots for second units that lack other scorers. The pinnacle of this was the "Lou-for-one," his hell-bent runs at the end of quarters to get two shots to the opponent's one any time the Sixers had the ball with 35 seconds or so left. That said, he also helped himself with a career-best 36.2 percent mark on 3-pointers, and as usual used his great shot fake to draw plenty of fouls. Defensively, Williams rarely fouled and was quick enough to defend opposing point guards, but the real reason it worked is because Jrue Holiday could play the 2. Williams is an odd player to fit into a lineup because he can't defend the shooting guard but he's not a true point guard. This worked on Philly's roster, but it remains to be seen how well it will function in an Atlanta backcourt consisting entirely of other small guards. But don't let that obscure the big picture. Guards with 20 PERs don't grow on trees, and Philly made a mistake in letting this one go during his prime. ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Jodie Meeks Scouting report + Shooting specialist who excels at trailing for transition 3s. Money from the line. + A bit undersized for the 2 and an average athlete but very solid defensively. + Good at up-faking for fouls. Rarely fouls on D. Low-mistake specialist. Analysis Meeks had a bit of a setback in his third season, as his 3-point shot wasn't nearly as deadly (36.5 percent) and his free throw rate plummeted. As an offensive specialist, this was not welcome news and resulted in losing his starting job. While Meeks had the lowest turnover ratio of any shooting guard, he wasn't asked to do a whole lot -- only three shooting guards had a lower usage rate -- and that role requires an exceptional TS%. His 55.1 mark didn't cut it. For a specialist, however, Meeks did the other things pretty well. His 46.8 percent mark on 2s was above the average for his position, he draws some fouls and he's not a bad rebounder. Defensively he was solid, as well. While he's a bit undersized for the 2, the Sixers gave up 1.8 fewer points per 100 possessions with him on the court and opposing shooting guards mustered only an 11.1 PER against him according to 82games.com; Synergy also rated Meeks as an above-average defender. ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Elton Brand Scouting report + Slow-footed big man with a devastating midrange jump shot off the pick-and-pop. + Has lost speed and athleticism. Decent handle for his size. Struggles to finish in the paint. + Strong, smart team defender but overmatched against good post scorers. Analysis Subjectively, Brand lost more zip last season than the stats show -- he looked a bit tired and heavy all season, and he failed to make much of an impact in the playoffs. Statistically, however, you'd have a hard time proving it. Brand again put up a very solid PER and his defensive stats remain world class. Brand may be the most underrated player in the league in this regard. He had the best Synergy grade on the Sixers, the league's No. 3 team in defensive efficiency, and among the best overall at his position. Philly gave up 2.8 points per 100 possessions less with him on the court, and he was fifth among power forwards in blocks per minute and 17th in steals. While he's undersized and he struggles against long jump shooters (like, say, Kevin Garnett, his foe in the second round of the playoffs), he was extremely effective in every other situation. Offensively, Brand's torrid midrange shooting of a season earlier cooled off some, as he made "only" 44.7 percent of his jumpers beyond 10 feet. Those attempts comprised nearly two-thirds of his shots, as he rarely posts up anymore and when he does it's for a turnaround jumper. Because of that his free throw rate was among the lowest at his position, but his assist and turnovers were well above the league norm for power forwards, and overall he was a helpful offensive player. ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Nikola Vucevic Scouting report + Seven-footer with soft touch and deep shooting range. Hangs out on the perimeter. + Good rebounder but not a great athlete. Mediocre defender who fouls too much. + Won't turn it over but never draws fouls. Decent strength but not overtly physical. Analysis Vucevic had a very good start to his rookie season before his shots stopped finding the net, and by the end of the playoffs he was out of the rotation entirely. The key stat for Vucevic is his brutal 46.2 TS%; only six centers were worse. For an offensive-minded player, this was a bit of a disaster. The problem for Vucevic is that he shot a lot of jumpers and mostly missed them. He made only 35.7 percent outside 10 feet, and nearly half his shots came from out there. With so much pick-and-pop business, he rarely got to the line, ranking dead last among centers in free throw rate. The lone positive was that he never turned the ball over, as he was fourth among centers in turnover rate. Vucevic surprised on the boards, where he was in the top third of centers, and defensively he wasn't bad for a rookie -- with some experience and more physicality he should be decent. He had a high foul rate, however, and he's not a shot-blocker. Sum it up and it appears the Sixers inadvertently drafted the second coming of Spencer Hawes. ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ Moe Harkless Scouting report + Long, athletic, quick combo forward who can run the floor and jump. + Needs more strength and a better motor. Mediocre outside shooter. Analysis The Al-Farouq Aminu of this year's draft, Harkless lured the Sixers, and then the Magic, with his athleticism and length despite the clear holes remaining in his game. The best lines in his résumé are his high rates of blocks and steals, which indicate that his length could be a real asset on defense if he could add strength and compete more. Harkless is only 19, and rebounded decently as a collegian given his size disadvantage. Nonetheless, it's going to be harder for him to round out his skills to be a good pro if he isn't capable of playing regularly, and I'm not sure he's good enough to crack a rotation right now. His offensive metrics seem well behind the curve. --
