誰能撼動大帝最佳新秀的地位

The 76ers top draft pick might not play at all this season, but Philly still has a chance to produce its second Rookie of the Year winner in four seasons.

76人隊的狀元有可能會錯過這個賽季，但費城仍然有機會產生他們四年來的第二個年度最佳新秀。

We're just a month into the 2016–17 season, but 76ers center and Instagram legend Joel Embiid is already the runaway favorite to win Rookie of the Year.

2016-2017賽季僅僅過去一個月，但76人隊中鋒和Instagram（國外著名的圖片共享社交網路）傳奇喬爾-恩比德已經在年度最佳新秀榜一騎絕塵。

Meanwhile, the top picks of the 2016 draft class are struggling to establish themselves, let alone challenge the throne for top first-year player.

同時，2016級的高順位（NBA選秀中排在前面的選秀權）選秀們還在為出場時間而努力，更不用說挑戰新秀第一人的寶座。

Let’s remember the obvious caveat here: Embiid was drafted in 2014. Because Mr. Process missed every game during his first two seasons, he’s eligible to win the Rookie of the Year award.

讓我們記住重要的一點：恩比德是2014年的選秀，因為“過程”先生（ess）錯過了他的前兩個賽季的所有比賽，所以他現在有資格贏得年度最佳新秀。

I’m firmly in the camp that Embiid has a competitive advantage on the field after hanging around an NBA team for the last two years, but that fact alone does not take away from what he's done on the court.

最近兩年，我始終相信恩比德在場上擁有比賽優勢，能夠為所欲為，但是以上事實不能脫離他在場上的表現。

Embiid leads all rookie in points (18.0 per game), rebounds (7.6) and blocks (2.2) despite playing just 22 minutes per night.

恩比德在每晚僅僅上場22分鐘的情況下在得分（場均18.0分），籃板（7.6個），和蓋帽（2.2個）方面領先所有新秀。

When you look at his per-36 numbers—the amount of minutes most stars play—his stat line becomes All-NBA worthy at 29.5 points and 12.4 rebounds per game.

當你看他每36分鐘的資料——大多數球星的上場時間——他的資料欄變成全明星級別的場均29.5分和12.4個籃板。

The 7-footer has also done all of this while launching the occasional feathery three and Hakeem–ing his way past opponents in the paint. He's outclassing the competition. If Embiid can stay healthy—you know, let’s not even say it.

這位七尺大個同樣可以偶爾在外線柔和地投三分和在油漆區展現他的奧拉朱旺夢幻腳步，他的表現出類拔萃，如果恩比德可以保持健康——你明白，我們甚至不用討論這些。

The only rookie who is really coming close to challenging Embiid for top rookie is his teammate, Dario Saric, a 22-year-old who also has a slight leg up on other first-year players after playing in the Euroleague for two seasons.

只有一個新秀有機會挑戰恩比德的最佳新秀，那就是恩比德的隊友達里奧-沙裡奇，一個在歐洲打了兩年聯賽的球員，同樣也在最佳新秀上領先其他人一截。

Saric is averaging 10.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and has exhibited a little bit of a three-point touch early in the season. But once you get past Embiid and Saric, things get bleak.

沙奇裡場均10.5分和6.4個籃板，並且在本賽季早期展現了一些三分能力。但只要你將他和恩比德放在一塊比較，結果很明顯。

No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons (another Sixer!) has yet to take the court. The No. 2 pick, Brandon Ingram, is playing decent defense for the frisky Lakers, but his offense needs a lot of work as he’s shooting under 40% from the field.

狀元秀本-西蒙斯（另一個76人球員）至今還未上場，榜眼布蘭登-英格拉姆，在年輕的湖人打出了不錯的防守，但是他場上低於40%的命中率證明他還需要大量的努力。

Jaylen Brown has been a sparkplug at times for the Celtics, but he’s not yet a major part of Brad Stevens’s rotation. Dragan Bender is being used sparsely in Phoenix, while Kris Dunn hasn’t been able to take advantage of injuries at point guard to carve out a big role in Minnesota.

杰倫-布朗在凱爾特人有數次亮眼表現，但他還不是布拉德-史蒂文斯的主要輪換部分。德拉甘-本德爾在菲尼克斯只有零星的上場時間。而明尼蘇達的克里斯-鄧恩也沒有能力在球隊控衛受傷期間為自己謀取一個重要的角色。

Buddy Hield has been chucking away in New Orleans (17 shots a game!) but he’s part of the reason why everyone is criticizing Anthony Davis’s supporting cast.

巴迪-希爾德在新奧爾良已被棄用（單場17次投籃），他也是人們批評安東尼-戴維斯的幫手不給力的一部分原因。

Seriously, what’s going on here? No one really expected this draft class to be deep, but we don’t even have rookies putting up misleading stats on garbage teams.

認真地說，這到底是怎麼回事？這屆選秀沒有一個人能更進一步，甚至沒有一個新秀在爛隊刷出漂亮的資料。

And why is it that so many incoming NBA players seemingly can’t shoot? Of the 2016 lottery picks who’ve played more than 50 minutes, only two are shooting above 45% from the field. Six are shooting under 40%, highlighting how no one in the 2016 class really has an exciting offensive game to speak of (yet.)

為什麼這屆的新秀看起來都不能投籃？在2016年上場時間超過50分鐘的樂透秀中，只有兩位球員的投籃命中率在45%左右，有六位球員的命中率低於40%，這意味著2016屆沒有一個人打出了真正令人興奮的進攻表現，以至於我們無從談起。

Some guys have been decent. Domantas Sabonis seems to be a nice find for the Thunder, and the big man has some nice stretch to his game.

有些球員已經浮出水面。多曼塔斯-薩博尼斯看起來是雷霆一個不錯的發現，這位大個子在比賽中能很好的拉開空間。

Jamal Murray looks like he has the potential to be a building block in Denver. But other than some potential role players, no one has really stood out.

賈馬爾-默裡看起來有潛力成為掘金的建隊基石，但除了一些有潛力的角色球員，沒有人真正的站出來。

Of course, the NBA’s Rookie of the Year history is a little bit checkered. For every Karl-Anthony Towns, there’s a Michael Carter-Williams. You can ask guys like Tyreke Evans or Emeka Okafor if the ROY award is a ticket to superstardom.

當然，NBA年度最佳新秀史一波三折。有卡爾-安東尼-唐斯，也有邁卡威。您可以問問像泰瑞克-埃文斯和埃梅卡-奧卡福這些人年度最佳新秀是否是成為超級巨星的靈丹妙藥。

Embiid is certainly deserving of being named the best rookie so far, and it’s been a joy to see what he can do on the court.

毫無疑問，到目前為止恩比德最值得被評為最佳新秀，看見他在場上打球是一種樂趣。

But it'd be more fun if there were other rookies making similar impacts around the league and giving Embiid a run for his money. Right now, sabotage from Dario Saric might be the only way to inject some drama into this year's rookie race.

但是聯盟中如果有其他的新秀能打出同樣的影響力，並且給於恩比德一點壓力，那會更加有趣。目前，達里奧-沙裡奇的攪局是會給今年最佳新秀之旅注入一些戲劇性的唯一可能。
