防守大鎖-隆達·霍利斯-傑佛森

Most Nets fans are probably trying to forget that the first half of the 2015-16 season has ever happened. Billy King was still the general manager, and by that point it became fairly obvious that the franchise didn’t have any coherent plan for the future, settling for treading the waters of mediocrity. One of the few bright spots during that period was the team’s plucky rookie, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Somewhere during November, he managed to snag the starting spot by demonstrating an unexpected amount of maturity and poise. Unfortunately, a right ankle fracture caused him to miss most of the following four months, before returning for the final ten games of the season. With the injury now behind him, Hollis-Jefferson is officially one of the most intriguing players on this revamped Brooklyn Nets roster.

大部分的籃網迷們應該都想忘記上一季前半段所發生的事，Billy King還佔著總經理的位置，球隊也沒有什麼未來，RHJ這個無懼的新秀是少數的希望之一。

11月時，他用人們沒有想到的成熟穩健試圖爭取先發位置，不過右腳踝骨折讓他休息了四個月，傷癒回歸後打了球季最後的十場比賽，擺脫傷痛的RHJ應該是嶄新籃網陣容中最有趣的球員了。

Hollis-Jefferson made a name for himself while playing for the Chester High School. In his final three years with Chester, he led the team to a 91-5 record and the first undefeated season in the school’s history. Along the way, he became the only player to be selected Player of the Year in Delaware in multiple seasons. He took part in the 2013 All-Star Boys Game, recording 9 points in 15 minutes. By the time he was eligible for college, he was considered a 5-star recruit and one of the most promising forwards in the class. He decided to join the University of Arizona,mostly due to their excellent basketball program.

RHJ是在切斯特中學成名的，他在切斯特的最後三年帶領球隊創下91勝5負的成績，也創下隊史球季全勝的紀錄，他也是德拉瓦州裡唯一一個多年獲得年度球員的球員。

2013年參加明星男孩比賽*時，在15分鐘裡拿下9分，當時被評比為5星球員和最佳前鋒的他已經是大學男籃的程度了，後來他加入亞利桑那大學，因為那裡的籃球程度很棒。

(*不確定要怎麼翻，就直翻了)

During his freshman season,Hollis-Jefferson was mostly utilized as the team’s sixth man, playing behind Aaron Gordon. Once Gordon declared for the 2014 draft, Hollis-Jefferson grabbed the role of the starting small forward. During his sophomore season, he averaged 11.2 PPG, 6.8 RPG and 1.5 APG while shooting 50.2% from the field.With him in the team, the Arizona Wildcats made two consecutive Elite Eight appearances in the NCAA tournament. In the 2015 draft, Hollis-Jefferson was selected 23rd overall by the Portland Trail Blazers. Somewhere during the draft night, he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Mason Plumlee.

大一的RHJ被當成球隊的第六人，做為Aaron Gordon的替補，當Aaron Gordon在2014年投入選秀後，RHJ抓住了先發小前鋒的機會。

大二的RHJ繳出11.2分 6.8籃板 1.5助攻 50.2%命中率的成績，亞利桑那野貓隊也靠著RHJ，連續兩年打入NCAA八強。

2015選秀會上，RHJ在第23順位被拓荒者選上，然後立刻被交易到籃網以換得Mason Plumlee。

At first glance, there’s a lot of Kawhi Leonard in Hollis-Jefferson’s game. He is a terrific athlete, sporting a wonderful combination of size, explosiveness, wingspan and strength. His elite physical tools allow him to guard any wing player in the league. At the same time, his lateral quickness allows him to stick with opposing point guards after the switch. He’s also a high-energy player, constantly hustling for rebounds and steals. He is a good slasher, possessing a quick first step that allows him to get past his defenders and the ability to finish under contact.He’s a beast in transition, always on the lookout for easy baskets.

RHJ身上有許多Kawhi Leonard的影子，他有很棒的天賦，包括身材、爆發力、臂展和力量。

他的橫向移動也很快，這讓他在換防控衛時可以緊緊黏著他，他也是一個充滿能量的傢伙，拚命的爭搶籃板和抄截。

他的切入不錯，有夠快的第一步，在身體接觸的情況下也能把球放進籃框，他的無球也很棒，能創造許多輕鬆得分的機會。

Hollis-Jefferson’s most obvious weakness is his shooting ability. With him converting only 28.6% of his 3-point shots, most opponents are content to stay a few feet away. His mechanics still look fairly wonky, and he really needs to work on that aspect of his game. Add in the fact he’s not a great ball handler or creator, and you get an offensively limited player. Of course, he’s still just 21 years old. If he can improve his jumper to the point that he can’t be ignored on the perimeter, there’s no limit to his potential.

他最大的缺點是投籃能力，他的三分命中率只有28.6%，這讓對手常選擇放投不放切，不可靠的投籃動作還得修正。另外他進攻創造力也不太好，這讓他的攻擊威脅下降。

當然，他只有21歲，如果他可以改善跳投，讓對手不敢放他的外線，他的未來將無可限量。

After a season sidetracked by injury,Hollis-Jefferson will be itching to get back into the NBA rhythm. As it stands right now, he’s a heavy favorite to begin the season as the team’s starting small forward. His case is further improved by the fact that the Nets are horribly short on plus defenders right now. Unless Kenny Atkinson plans ongoing full run-and-gun, Hollis-Jefferson will likely make the starting five as the team’s lockdown specialist. Provided injuries don’t strike again, he can probably hope for 30+ minutes per game this season.

經歷過傷痛後，RHJ應該等不及要回到場上了，現在看起來，在先發小前鋒的位置上他獲得許多青睞，他可以把籃網孱弱的防守補強。

除非阿金想打跑轟，不然RHJ將會是先發大鎖，如果傷痛不要再找上他，新球季他應該可以上場30分鐘以上。

Even with the injury, Hollis-Jefferson was one of the team’s biggest success stories last season, slowly turning into one of the most valuable pieces on the roster. In a way, his early career will serve as the litmus test for the Nets’ development abilities. If he turns into a consistent player on offense, he could be the team’s small forward of the future. Since he’s already such a defensive stalwart, it won’t take him too much further development to become one of the league’s top players at his position.

儘管傷痛鬧場，RHJ慢慢成為隊上不可或缺的一員仍是上季籃網成功的故事之一。

某方面來說，他會是籃網對於球員發展能力的試金石，如果他在攻擊面能穩定輸出，那他可以成為隊上穩定先發的小前鋒。

他已是防守好手，要變成頂尖好手並不需過多發展。
