Analysis 分析
The pitch with Brown is simple. In today’s NBA, there might not be a more
important intersection of skills than shooting and passing ability. Brown has
those skills in a big way. He’s a monster 3-point shooter who hits them at
volume, and he is a tremendous live-dribble passer who reads the court well
and makes good decisions while also being able to separate in ball screens.
With those two skills alone, it sets him up for a tremendous amount of
success.
Brown的賣點很簡單。在現今的NBA，沒有甚麼能力組合比投籃能力加傳球能力更重要。
Brown恰好在這兩項能力上都非常突出。他是一名高產量的頂級三分射手，且他同時是一名
能夠很好地閱讀場上局勢，在持球過程中做出正確決定，而且具備利用擋拆創造空間出色
的運球中傳球手。光是這兩項技能，就足以讓他取得巨大的成功。
Brown needs to keep taking steps with his frame, however. On-ball players
this skinny who have entered the NBA recently have struggled. The NBA is a man
’s league. There’s no other way to put it. Brown is going to have to keep
filling out now that he has grown to 6 feet 4. He is set to be one of the
most interesting players to evaluate this cycle. On one hand, I tend to be
hard on smaller guards — and despite Brown’s height, he plays like a
smaller guard. On the other hand, I tend to value skill, high IQ and shooting
ability as much as anything. Brown possesses those skills in an immense
quantity for such a young player.
不過，Brown仍然需要持續增強自己的身體條件。近年來，像他這樣身材偏瘦的持球型球員
進入NBA後，大多面臨不少挑戰。NBA是個成年人聯盟。沒有更委婉的說法。如今已長到6呎
4吋的Brown，仍必須持續增加肌肉與力量。他將會是本屆最有趣、也最難評估的球員之一
。一方面，我通常對身材較小的後衛評價較為保守。即便他的身高不矮，他卻打得像一名
小後衛。另一方面，我又非常重視技術、籃球智商以及投射能力。而Brown在這幾項能力上
的水準，對於如此年輕的球員而言可說是極其出色。
He’s a polarizing prospect for scouts for a reason, and I go back and forth
daily on what his future holds. Some days I see him as the best bet outside
of the top five in the class, and other days I’m not totally sure I see him
as a winning NBA player.
球探圈對他的評價之所以兩極化，是有原因的，我自己也幾乎每天都在改變對他未來發展
的看法。有些時候，我認為他是本屆前五名之外最值得下注的球員；但也有些時候，我並
不完全確定他是否真的會成為一名能夠幫助球隊贏球的NBA球員。
Strengths 優勢
-Brown has grown substantially over the last three years. He went from a
clearly undersized lead guard to now having at least average height and
length for the position guard. He measured in at 6 feet 3.5 with a 6-foot-7.5
wingspan.
Brown在過去三年間有相當明顯的成長。他從一名身材明顯偏小的控球後衛成長擁有至少符
合後衛平均水準的身高與臂展。他身高6呎3.5吋臂展6呎7.5吋。
-He has developed more bounce and quickness as he has gotten bigger. He’s not
the most explosive athlete as a lead guard but has some pop to get where he
needs to go, especially off two feet at the rim or off his first step. Has
some sudden moves that make you wonder if he could get even more explosive if
he adds further muscle, given the trajectory he was on before his freshman
year.
隨著身材逐漸成長，他的彈跳能力與敏捷性也有所提升。作為一名控球後衛，他並不是最
具爆發力的運動員，但仍具備足夠的爆發力去到達自己想去的位置，特別是在籃框附近雙
腳起跳時或利用第一步突破時。他偶爾會展現一些非常突然的動作，讓人不禁好奇，如果
未來進一步增加肌肉量，根據他大一前的成長曲線，他是否還能獲得更多爆發力。
-What makes Brown so special is the potential combination of shooting and
passing ability. Has an elite intersection of arguably the two most important
skills in the modern NBA. As soon as he gets an outlet pass or grabs a
rebound, he immediately gets his eyes up to look for early hit-aheads. Plays
quick. Very accurate on his hit-aheads. Always seems to hit guys in stride.
Plays a team-friendly game.
Brown如此特別的原因，在於他同時擁有出色的投籃能力與傳球能力。這兩項能力的結合可
以說是現代NBA最重要的技能組合之一，而Brown在這兩方面都具備頂級潛力。無論是在接
到第一時間傳球或抓到籃板，他總是立刻抬頭尋找前場快攻的機會。打得很快。長傳精準
。幾乎都可以傳給前頭的隊友。他的打法非常團隊。
-Brown’s shot opens the rest of his game. At the FIBA Under-19 World Cup last
summer, he shot 47.6 percent on 3-point shots (averaging six attempts per
game). In six tracked games on Synergy for DME Academy, he shot 37 percent on
over 11 3-point attempts per game, many of which were of the completely
absurd pull-up variety. Brown has no conscience when it comes to pulling up
from distance. We’ll talk about his efficiency in college from that distance
in the next section, but when people get excited about Brown’s scoring
ability, it has to do with the fact he can pull nearly eight 3-point attempts
per game even in college.
Brown的投籃能力為他整體進攻打開了更多可能性。去年夏天的FIBA U19世界盃中，他的三
分球命中率高達47.6%(場均出手6次)。而在DME Academy的6場Synergy有追蹤的比賽中，他
的三分球命中率為37%，場均出手超過11次三分球，其中許多還是難度極高、近乎不可思議
的持球急停三分。Brown在遠距離持球出手方面毫不猶豫。下一部分我們會討論他在大學層
級的外線效率問題，但當人們對Brown的得分能力感到興奮時，原因就在於他連在大學依然
可以場均丟接近8顆三分球的事實。
-He feels completely comfortable if he gets even an inch of space to set and
fire from 3. If you play him in drop, he’s going to hit you with a couple of
pull-up 3s to force you to play more at the level and thus open the backside
of the defense. Showed great touch at lower levels and at times this year for
Louisville. Can sometimes lean forward on the jumper too far and get his
balance out of whack, but the ball comes out of his hand smoothly and with
clean touch.
只要獲得哪怕一點點空間，Brown就會毫不猶豫地出手三分。如果你採取沉退防守，他就會
用幾記持球急停三分懲罰你來迫使你必須往上提防並撬開弱側的空間。他在較低層級比賽
以及本季效力Louisville期間，都展現過非常出色的投籃手感。有時候他的跳投會因為身
體前傾過多而失去平衡，但球離手的動作相當流暢且手感柔和。
-Also a massive weapon off the catch from 3. If he’s trailing the play in
transition, you have to get a body on him within 27 feet of the rim or the
ball is going up with a serious chance of going in. And if you decide to help
off him when he’s spotting up behind the arc, you’re in deep trouble. Has a
bit of a deeper ball dip but gets into rhythm with ease, and the ball comes
out of his hand softly. Tends to get them off a one-two step. But everything
is in alignment and pure, flowing toward the rim. Relocates well after
passing it. Does a good job sinking into open areas that get him open 3s.
Genuine threat on and off the ball.
他在接球投三分方面同樣是一項極具威脅性的武器。如果他在轉換進攻中作為跟進者，那
麼你必須在距離籃框27呎之外就貼住他，否則他很可能直接出手有很高機率投進。而如果
他在三分線外定點等待時，你選擇放掉他去協防其他人，那麻煩就大了。他的收球下放幅
度稍微深一些，但他能很輕鬆地進入投籃節奏，而且出手時手感柔和。他通常會利用一二
步投籃。整個投籃動作的協調性很好且純淨，自然地朝向籃框完成出手。傳球之後，他也
很擅長重新跑位。總能找到空檔區域，讓自己獲得空位三分機會。無論持球或無球，他都
是一個真正的威脅。
-Uses the threat of his shot incredibly well to get into the lane. Very
flexible athlete with serious wiggle but best at using his change of pace.
Plays under control and at a sharp rhythm. Loves to hit defenders with
hesitations and inside-out moves. Will play at a slow or fast pace depending
on the situation. Can get into the lane, slow down and hit hostage dribbles
to draw defenders before deciding to shoot, pass or drive. Very comfortable
getting to pull-up midrange jumpers. Can occasionally lean too far forward
toward the rim or to his right or left, but by and large, gets his body into
alignment and makes shots.
他非常善於利用自己的投籃威脅來切入禁區。是個身體柔軟度很好的運動員、動作靈活，
但最厲害的地方還是在於節奏變化。他打球始終保持控制，並且擁有很好的進攻節奏感。
喜歡利用猶豫步及Inside-Out運球來欺騙防守者。他會根據場上情況決定要打快還打慢。
他可以切入禁區後突然減速利用Hostage Dribble吸引住防守者再決定要投、傳還是切。他
也擅長持球投中距離跳投。偶爾他在出手時會過度向籃框方向前傾，或是身體偏向左側或
右側，但大部分時候，他都能夠把身體調整到正確的位置並穩定把球投進。
-Knows how to freeze defenders to open angles. Will do so to snake ball
screens to get back to the middle of the court and force more help. Loves to
go to a nasty inside-out dribble to stop defenders in their tracks. Has a
strong understanding of how to map the court and get to the most dangerous
areas. Has a tight enough handle to navigate tight quarters on the court. Can
isolate bigs and string them out into switches before attacking them in space.
他很清楚如何凍住防守者。他經常利用這種能力在擋拆後執行蛇形運球回到場中樣後再逼
迫對手需要更多人協防。他特別喜歡使用極具殺傷力的Inside-Out運球來將防守者定在原
地。他對於如何閱讀球場空間有很強的理解，知道該如何到達最具威脅性的進攻區域。控
球能力也足夠扎實，能夠在狹小空間中運球。能夠在單打時針對長人防守者發動進攻，利
用持球操作迫使對方換防並在大空間攻擊他們。
-Brown’s best skill, though, is his passing. He’s an incredibly sharp passer
who can make every read in the book off a live dribble. Strangely, for a
right-handed player, he is more of a left-hand-dominant live-dribble passer.
Can throw them with both, though, and does so easily. Throws cross-corner
kickouts with that left hand with ease. Gets velocity on the ball but also
has enough control over the ball to throw it with touch. Throws lobs with a
nice touch to make it easy for his big to rise and dunk.
Brown最好的技能其實是他的傳球。他是一名敏銳的傳球手，能在運球過程中做出你可以想
得到的所有判讀。有趣的是，雖然他是右撇子，但在運球中的傳球反而更偏向使用左手。
當然左右手都能輕鬆傳球。他能夠輕鬆用左手送出橫跨球場的對角傳球。他的傳球很快但
同時又有足夠的控制並運用手感傳球。他的高吊球手感優良讓長人可以輕鬆起飛完成灌籃
。
-Reads the court very quickly and diagnoses what defenders are doing a split
second before other players tend to. Has been well-schooled developmentally
and also has quick instincts. Understands what the second and third levels of
the defense are doing and tends to find the open man. Creative in how he
opens angles on his drives outside of screens. Finds fun pass fakes and
hesitations to freeze defenders. Dished out 4.7 assists per game at
Louisville this season, but it seemed like it should have been more. His
passing highlights are better than anyone else’s in the class.
他閱讀比賽的速度非常快，能比其他球員提早半拍判斷出防守者的意圖。他接受過良好的
籃球訓練，同時也擁有優秀的直覺。能理解防守第二層與第三層輪轉，並常能找到空檔中
的隊友。擋拆後切入之後的傳球角度具有創意。他會利用巧妙的傳球假動作及猶豫動作來
定住防守者。本季在Louisville，他場均送出4.7次助攻，但實際看比賽時，你感覺這個數
字應該要更高。就傳球嗨賴，他是本屆最好的。
-Unsurprisingly in this respect, Brown is tremendous at reading ball screens.
Very good at drawing a drop defender toward him before hitting a lob over the
top. Will manipulate back-line defenders with his eyes before darting the
ball to the dunker spot or the kickout. Loves that cross-corner skip pass off
a live dribble. Doesn’t overstay his welcome by overdribbling. Makes early
reads and doesn’t hold on to the ball. Keeps the offense in rhythm and in
flow. Does an amazing job of opening angles for pocket passes to his rollers
to his right and left. Great with short-rolling bigs.
不意外的，Brown閱讀擋拆也很出色。他很擅長吸引沉退的防守者向自己靠近然後傳出高吊
球越過對方。他也會利用眼神欺騙後線防守者接著迅速將球傳給Dunker Spot或是外線的隊
友。他非常喜歡在運球過程中送出對角線跨場傳球。他不會因為過度運球而拖慢進攻節奏
。他總是能很早完成判讀，不會黏球。他能讓進攻保持節奏與順暢。此外，他非常擅長為
順下的掩護者創造無論左側還是右側口袋傳球的角度。他與短擋拆的長人搭得很好。
-Because his handle is tight enough and he’s so creative on the ball, he
tends to have a natural chemistry with his screeners. Reacts in an instant to
how they’re coming up to screen and gets to the mesh point of the screen in
creative ways, such as surprise behind-the-back dribbles or crossovers. Then
will hit hang dribbles to help defenders get stuck on the screen before
pulling up or attacking. In general, his offensive game just flows together,
with one move sitting on top of the next one very naturally.
由於他的控球技術足夠扎實，而且持球時極具創造力，因此他往往能與掩護者建立很好的
化學效應。他能夠瞬間判斷隊友準備如何上來設掩護，並用各種巧妙的方式切入掩護形成
的接觸點，例如突然得背後運球或是變向運球。接著，他又會利用停頓運球讓防守者被掩
護卡死，然後直接投籃或繼續攻擊。總的來說，他的進攻技巧銜接得很順暢，每一個動作
都像是下一個動作的鋪墊，非常自然。
Areas for improvement 需要改進的點
-A lack of strength permeates Brown’s game more than you’d hope. He came in
at the combine at 190 pounds, but doesn’t really play that heavily. Needs to
fill out his frame with more muscle — that’s arguably his biggest area for
improvement. Doesn’t have the power aspect to his game that a player needs
to be successful in the highest-leverage moments right now.
他缺乏力量的問題對Brown的影響比你希望得還嚴重。他在聯合試訓測出190磅，但他打起
來卻不像有這個體重。他需要進一步增加肌肉量來強化他的體型
