【NBA專欄/李亦伸】只剩底薪尼克前鋒Precious Achiuwa,執教能力關鍵指標
從球技、球路和功能性看,Precious Achiuwa很尷尬。今年夏天在自由球員市場,Precious Achiuwa可能只能拿到一分底薪打工合約,但他卻是雷霆、湖人、溜馬這種類型球隊很好搭的一塊拼圖。
203公分前鋒沒有三分拉開空間,缺少自主進攻能力,打中鋒太小,打小前鋒技術、投籃和持球能力都不足,Precious Achiuwa在現代籃球各種戰術打法陣容確實都不討喜也不好搭。
用不好Precious Achiuwa很正常,像前尼克教練Tom Thibodeau。不會用Precious Achiuwa也很正常,NBA絕大多數教練都沒有這種執教和用人能力。
用好多功能前鋒Precious Achiuwa,是執教能力關鍵指標。
其實每支球隊都需要一個Precious Achiuwa這種風格和能力、天賦前鋒,他是最棒的球隊第八人,也可以是最傑出的第九人。
以湖人為例,他可以打小個陣容中鋒,防守速度對位都跟得上,很適合做苦工和犧牲打。他可以打傳統陣容大前鋒,負責籃板、防守、跟進、籃下偷襲。
在雷霆陣容,他是絕佳拼圖,他沒有Chet Holmgren、Isaiah HartenStein身高與防禦能力,但他有速度、衝擊力和不可預測性,他的積極衝搶和跑動、無限換防,都能在短時間內改變比賽節奏,展現自己奇兵作用。
溜馬的小個陣容,Precious Achiuwa打中鋒負責防守苦工對位,讓Pascal Siakam打大前鋒,如魚得水。假如中鋒Myles Turner還在溜馬,Precious Achiuwa上場可以讓Pascal Siakam拉去打小前鋒形成各種對位優勢,Myles Turner拉開空間,Precious Achiuwa在底線接應+籃下攪局跟進,打法多變。
Precious Achiuwa很好用,看起來功能單一,缺少球技特色,沒有外線能力,但實際上他可以成為很棒團隊球員,創造各種對位優勢,把他的速度、防守、衝擊力、不可預測性展現出來,成為改變比賽元素。
把這種有速度、肯防守、又不佔球權的苦工型球員用好用對,融入團隊,這是執教本事和執行力最完美展示。
NBA幾乎也沒有幾個擁有這種非凡用人能力教練,絕大多數教練都靠名氣+印象+個人喜好+數據分析去決定用人、選擇,卻忽略Precious Achiuwa這種類型、球路和風格球員可以帶來的衝擊力和不可預測性。
26歲前鋒Precious Achiuwa淪落到只能拿底薪,甚至只有打工的角色,在絕大多數NBA球隊都擺不進輪換陣容,我很驚訝,難以置信,這也是我常說「NBA在退步的原因」。
教練不會用人,不敢用人,甚至不懂得如何用好一個功能性球員,挖掘最大潛能,成為團隊合作中一股神秘力量和奇兵,全世界都一樣,執教需要的不只是知識、戰術、戰略、技能、經驗,更重要的是如何給角色球員信心和定位,在合理恰當時機挖掘球員最大潛能,成為改變比賽奇兵,成就一個團隊。
今年夏天那個教練會把Precious Achiuwa撿來用,還能用得好用得巧用出最高效,我很期待。

Will Riley: Wizards sign 21st overall pick to rookie scale contract
Former Illinois forward Will Riley, the 21st pick in the 2025 NBA draft, signed his rookie-scale contract with the Washington Wizards on Sunday, according to the official NBA transaction report. Riley was the Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 12.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 43.2% shooting from the field as a freshman. He logged nine starts, finishing third on the team in scoring after registering six 20-point performances. He will make $3,512,520 next season, according to Spotrac. The 6-foot-8 standout helped Illinois reach the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight year this past season as the sixth seed. He set a freshman program record with 22 points and four assists on March 21 in a win over Xavier in the first round. Riley was projected to be a first-round pick because of his size, scoring potential and ability as a passer. He was also able to create separation for himself, with his array of dribble moves, jab steps and step-backs on the perimeter. The Canadian also proved a capable floor spacer, despite shooting 32.6% on 4.1 attempts per game from beyond the arc. He worked extensively on his shot throughout the predraft process and will look to showcase it with the Wizards next season. Riley is expected to suit up for the Wizards for at least five games in the NBA Summer League, beginning on Friday against the Phoenix Suns (9 p.m. EDT, ESPN).
