盘点：韦斯利·马修斯（Wesley Matthews）和人才问题

今天，我们继续用“核心四人”的最后一员，得分后卫韦斯利·马修斯（Wesley Matthews）来盘点波特兰步道的现任阵容。如果您错过了，我们谈到了拉马库斯·奥尔德里奇（Lamarcus Aldridge），，，，达米安·利拉德（Damian Lillard）， 和Nicolas Batum上周。您可以单击这些链接参加对话。

Assessing Wesley Matthews' performance, let alone future, requires healthy dosesof perspective and context.

如果您对他的表现有短期的看法，与去年相比，马修斯在2012 - 13年度表现良好。像尼古拉斯·巴图姆（Nicolas Batum）一样，马修斯（Matthews）在新教练特里·斯托特（Terry Stotts）的带领下成为三分射击。自从他到达波特兰以来，长球就一直是他的首选，但今年他打破了“比两分之三”的障碍，试图从远处射击53％。幸运的是，他射门得很好，本赛季仅在40％的标记下取得了滴答作用。他的射门得分百分比和真实的投篮命中率都在今年显着上升。他是唯一通过提高效率而不是进攻更加多产的核心成员。马修斯（Matthews）的篮板今年略有下降，但他的所有其他统计数据都出现在去年的制作中，甚至超过了。

简而言之，如果您已经喜欢韦斯利·马修斯（Wesley Matthews），那么您可以在2012 - 13年后找到更多的理由。

但是，如果您不喜欢Matthews，那么他可能没有做任何改变您的主意。

尽管卫斯理的数字上升的from last season in most cases he's significantly below his production in 2010-11, his first year in Portland. His production dived a couple years ago and hasn't fully recovered. His career high point could be termed "good", especially since it came with little experience under his belt. Now he's mired firmly in mediocrity in all categories save the precious three-pointer.

His performances over the last two years have also confirmed a fatal weakness in his game and called into question one of his supposed strengths.

自从鲁迪·费尔南德斯（Rudy Fernandez）漫游以来，巷道翻转奇异的环路 - 循环阵环让西装外套的球迷看到了一个运球手，他的驱动器肯定会肯定会失败。至少费尔南德斯的运球穿透部分朝下。他的结束真是可笑。马修斯有相反的问题。如果他到达篮筐，他可以完成比赛，但是找到篮筐很难，以至于他不愿意打扰。如果车道不开放，他在祈祷和啤酒。

开拓者队并不是这个时代的第一支球队，依靠得分后卫三分球员的后卫。但是开拓者与采用几种模板的更成功的团队不同：

1. Those teams are usually stocked with overwhelming, multi-faceted offensive players at other positions, alleviating the need for an offensive powerhouse at the 2-spot. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard are multi-faceted but they lack the overwhelming aspect. Lillard, in particular, needs an alternate ball-handler to take the pressure off. The Blazers offer Matthews and Batum, jump shooters without a dribble to speak of. You can carry one of those guys in the current configuration, but two is pushing it.

2. Those specialist shooting guards actually防守。Matthews has heart. Matthews understands individual defense. Matthews makes the most of his athletic ability. He's made someincredible防御性的立场是关键时刻。但是在35分钟的首发过程中，他缺乏横向敏捷性赶上了他。头部和心脏发挥作用越少，重复的重点越多，马修斯的外观较差。防守统计数据是一半有趣的，一半的骗子和一半的团队依赖。即便如此，卫斯理与可疑队友相比，卫斯理看起来也没有比平均水平更好。没有人在J.J.旁边打防守希克森，迈耶斯·伦纳德（Meyers Leonard）和达米安·利拉德（Damian Lillard）将在防守端毫发无损，但您希望马修（Matthews）不仅仅是一个地位的人。他不是。

Right now the Blazers need more than Matthews is currently giving on either end of the court. For now they can ride his three-point prowess and occasionally-mighty defensive stands, but long-term they can't get away with starting him alongside the mercurial (and similar) Batum. If the Blazers were to acquire a super-stud center that tune would change. Stick a healthy Dwight Howard on this team and now Matthews, Batum, and Lillard shooting threes looks like the perennial playoff contending Orlando Magic teams with souped up talent at the wings. You already know the chances of that happening.

开拓者将需要在中心位置妥协，尤其是在进攻方面。如果是这样的话，马修斯的价值也下降了，巴图姆·玛特（Batum-Matthew）婚姻的实用性也是如此。那就是冠军。开拓者永远不会后悔让韦斯利·马修斯（Wesley Matthews）穿着制服。没有团队。但是，如果他上方的啄食顺序保持不变，他可能不会给开拓者提供足够的东西来确保他的长期未来的安全。选择将归结为他或巴图姆……如果不在波特兰前台的决策者中，粉丝中的一个争论。

更多的than any other core member, Matthews is dependent on Portland making smart, effective moves this year. If they can't--if this lineup starts looking stale--his name and comparatively attractive contract will become the subject of constant trade rumors. Even if everything else were to recommend him, Portland's desperate need for talent may end up carrying more weight in those deliberations.
