溜馬名宿: 不理解球隊休賽期操作 內線新星將成球隊核心
印弟安納溜馬今年休賽期送走球隊當家核心Paul George,正式重建球隊。球隊名宿Reggie Miller在一檔NBA節目中談到溜馬夏天的操作,他依然不太理解球隊高層的想法。
Reggie Miller表示: "這是一支需要選秀權的球隊。他們交易Paul George沒有拿到首輪選秀權,我不知道發生甚麼事。"
同一檔節目的另外一位分析員Chris Webber也對Reggie Miller的話表示讚同: "現在是溜馬重新建構球隊文化的好機會。會有一段成長的陣痛期,但是球迷應該好好享受Turner的比賽,他是一個值得球隊圍繞他重建的球員“。

Reggie Miller表示: "這是一支需要選秀權的球隊。他們交易Paul George沒有拿到首輪選秀權,我不知道發生甚麼事。"
引用"This is a team that needs to build through the draft," Miller said. "For them not to get a first-round pick in trading Paul George, I don’t know how that happened."為了得到Paul George,雷霆送出了Victor Oladipo和Domantas Sabonis。對於這兩名年輕球員的前景,Reggie Miller有所保留: "Oladipo季後賽陷入於掙扎,特別是他的投籃。"去季和火箭的系列賽中,Victor Oladipo的命中率僅有34.4%,三分命中率24.0%。Miller進一步表示: "還有Sabonis,他上季賽季初表現還不錯,但是之後就掉出輪換,這些年輕球員還有很多東西要學。"
引用"Oladipo really struggled during the playoffs, especially his shooting," Miller said of his 34.4 percent shooting last season. "And Sabonis started early on the during the season but kind of fell out of the rotation later on, so maybe this is a new lease on life for both of those young players."不過溜馬粉絲也不需要太絕望,Reggie Miller認為Myles Turner將會成為球隊的新核心,並在未來蛻變成明星球員: "這賽季就看Myles Turner怎麼成長了,“Miller說,”我們可以看到,這是一個有背身技術,還有三分射程,能正面攻擊籃框,能夠封阻投籃,防守出色,能下快攻的球員,但是他身邊的這些球員能讓他變得更好嗎?
引用This (season) will come down to the growth of Myles Turner for the Indiana Pacers," Miller said. "We’ve seen glimpses. This is a guy who not only can play with his back to the basket, but has 3-point range. He can really shoot basketball facing up, can block shots, can run the floor, is a great defender, but are there those pieces around him that will allow him to be successful?"
同一檔節目的另外一位分析員Chris Webber也對Reggie Miller的話表示讚同: "現在是溜馬重新建構球隊文化的好機會。會有一段成長的陣痛期,但是球迷應該好好享受Turner的比賽,他是一個值得球隊圍繞他重建的球員“。
引用"Right now is a great time to reinvest in the culture of Pacers basketball," Webber said. "There's going to be some growing pains, but fans should enjoying watching Turner and watching them build a team around him."
