[情報] Usman Garuba 選秀報告簡譯

21年選秀首輪中段幾個大個子選擇之一，
當時被認為很適合勇士，類似嘴綠小球5的定位，
最後於首輪#23被火箭隊選走，在火箭兩年的成績如下：

今年被火箭釋出後，跟勇士簽下雙向合約，目前在Santa Cruz 奮戰中，
網路上可以看到一些高光。

Usman Garuba
6-8, 230 Power Forward/Center
Spain Class of 2021
Birthday 03/09/02 (21.7 yrs)
Hometown Madrid, Spain

身高：6-8 (不確定是否barefoot)
臂展：7-2
體重：230磅

Strengths: Blue collar forward/center, who always gives 100% … Energy guy,
plays with no fear … Relentless motor … A bit undersized for a big but his
great wingspan (measured at 7-2) makes up for it … Very good athlete … Runs
the floor like a deer… Excellent leaper… Has an NBA body… Likes to play
physical, doesn’t shy way of contact on both ends of the floor … Has a good
basketball I.Q … Battle tested at the highest level in EuroLeague … Very
good roller in Pick and Roll situations … Tries to dunk everything … Has
shown glimpses as a shooter in Pick and Pop and Spot Up 3’s situations …
Has acceptable footwork when he is Posting Up with a good right hook in his
arsenal … Good passer when he is Posting Up … Has improved as a passer in
Pick and Roll situations after doing a short roll … Moves very well without
the ball, doing timely cuts to the basket either from the baseline, or from
the perimeter … Great in transition … Acceptable ball handler when running
the floor, can even score an occasional coast to coast … Crashes the
offensive boards, putting pressure on the opponent’s team … He is an one
man defense … Can guard all five positions … Elite lateral movement … Able
to switch on the perimeter in defensive Pick and Roll and make life miserablefor opposing guards … Excellent Post Up defender, knows how to use his
physical edge to his advantage… Understands how to fill the passing lanes
and gain a lot of steals … Good shot blocker thanks to his physical profile,
leaping ability and length … Very good help defender …

優勢：
藍領型前鋒/中鋒，總是全力以赴…充滿能量，毫不畏懼地…不知疲倦的動力…在大個子位置上稍顯不足，但他出色的臂展（測得為7-2）彌補了這一不足…非常出色的運動員…像鹿一樣快速地奔跑…優秀的彈跳力…擁有NBA球員的體型…喜歡以強硬風格比賽，在進攻和防守兩端都不怕接觸…

具有出色的籃球智商…在歐洲職業聯賽的最高水平上經受過考驗…在擋拆跟進時非常出色…嘗試以扣籃完成所有事情…在擋拆跟進和空位三分球情境中展示出投射者的一面…在背身進攻時，腳步可觀，擁有一記出色的右勾手…

在背框進攻時是一位出色的傳球手…同時在短檔拆中作為中傳手也不錯…在沒有球的情況下移動非常靈活，及時切入底線或外圍的籃筐…在轉換進攻中表現出色…在跑動球場時，是一位可以偶爾完成端到端進攻的可接受的球技者…

進攻籃板強勁，對對手的球隊造成很大的壓力…他的單防可以守住五個位置…出色的橫向移動…能夠在防守擋拆時切換到外圍，讓對方後衛感到困擾…出色的背框防守者，知道如何利用他的體格優勢…懂得填補傳球通道，獲得很多抄截…

由於他的體型、躍升能力和臂長，是一名出色的封籃手…非常出色的協防者…

Weaknesses: He is more a 5 than a 4 for now on offense because of his
skillset … He is undersized for a center for the NBA level … Not skilled
enough to play as a power forward on a consistent basis, but not big enough
to play as a center … Needs a big with size and shooting range alongside him
to be more effective on the floor … Shooting mechanics are inconsistent …
Pretty limited offensively either as a power forward, or a center … Below
average 3-point shooter with FIBA’s 3-point line, which makes it even more
of a challenge from the NBA 3-point line … His low shooting percentage from
the free throw line makes it difficult for now to imagine him becoming a
scorer in the future … Has no in-between game, he will either shoot a 3 or
go hard to the basket since his mid-range shot just isn’t there … Can’t
create his own shot, he mostly scores on Pick and Rolls, cuts or after
offensive rebounds … His low post game needs a lot of work, he mostly turns
and shoots over his left shoulder, which makes him predictable … Needs to
add some moves to his arsenal when he is posting up … Can be a little foul
prone when his energy and aggression gets the best on him … Sometimes
forgets to box out, thinking that his athletic ability is enough to get the
rebound…Bigger, skilled centers can find ways around him to score … Off
ball defense can be a problem some times, he can over commit on help and
leave his assignment …

缺點：
由於他的技能組合，目前在進攻端更像是5號位置而非4號位置…他對於NBA層級的中鋒來說身材過小…在持續比賽中不夠有技巧地擔任大前鋒，但身形又不夠大擔任中鋒…需要一位有著體型和射程的大前鋒，以使他在場上更有效率…

射擊機制不穩定…無論是作為大前鋒還是中鋒，在進攻端都相當有限…在FIBA三分線上的表現屬於平均以下，這使得在NBA三分線上更具挑戰性…他從罰球線上的低命中率使人難以想像他未來能成為得分手…他沒有中距離進攻，他要麼投三分，要麼強攻籃框，因為他的中距離投射能力不足…無法自創出投籃機會，他主要是在挑戰球權和進攻籃板後得分…

他的低位進攻需要大量改進，他主要進攻手段是左轉上籃，這使得他的動作變得可預測…在背對籃框時需要增加一些招數…有時候在能量和積極性上過於犯規…有時會忘記進行籃板擋位，以為他的運動能力足以爭取籃板…

更高大、技巧更嫻熟的中鋒可能會找到繞過他得分的方法…在無球防守方面有時會出現問題，他可能過於投入協防而忽略了自己的防守分配…

Overall: Usman Garuba is a high energy/blue collar big, with an amazing motor… Physically gifted with a good basketball I.Q, can guard everyone on the
floor, while he can be a great partner for a point guard in Pick and Roll
situations … At the same time though, he is limited offensively and kind of
a tweener on offense, which can make his transition tricky for the next level.

小結：
Usman Garuba 是一位充滿活力、戰鬥力十足的大個子球員，擁有出色的運動素質和出色的籃球智商…在場上能夠防守任何對手，同時在挑戰球權情境下能成為控球後衛的絕佳搭檔…

然而，與此同時，他在進攻端受到一些限制，進攻上有點不4不5 (tweener)，這可能使他在升級到下一個層級時變得複雜。
