There will be a couple assumptions made in this piece, so let’s just go ahead and start with a big one: The Minnesota Timberwolves will re-sign Nikola Pekovic. It’s not far-fetched to think that the Wolves will get the big man back next year. CBS Sports’ Zach Harper reported that the Timberwolves made Pekovic a formal offer on July 8, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports tweeted that he was close to signing a four-year, $50 million deal and Marcus R. Fuller of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that Pekovic wants to stay. So, safe to say, he will be in the starting five if (when) he returns. 首先，沒意外的話，下季的先發5號已經底定是Peko了 The second assumption is that everyone will stay healthy this year. 再來的關鍵就是我狼最欠缺的健康= = Of course, there will be injuries here and there throughout the season, but let’s hope Minnesota does not have everyone sitting courtside in a suit and tie like they did last year. 當然有時傷病難免，但我們可以期許不要先發都一起穿西裝看球嗎？ Finally, make the assumption that Derrick Williams is the sixth man and Chase Budinger and Shabazz Muhammad are key reserves if they are not in the starting five. 目前預設的情況可能是D-Will打第六人，Budinger跟蝦壩子作為主要的鋒線替補 The main question with the team, of course, is who plays the 3. Ricky Rubio will be the starting point guard, Kevin Martin will be his backcourt partner, Kevin Love will start at power forward and Pekovic will be the center. In order to find a starting small forward, the Timberwolves should use these three lineups. 基本上灰狼的核心已經確定是 1：Rubio 2：KM 4：Love 5：Peko 了所以下面就來排列組合3號人選吧^.< Derrick Williams as small forward Timberwolves fans either love or hate Williams. There is a segment of the fanbase that feels he is just one of many lottery busts the team has had over the years—he’s Johnny Flynn or Wesley Johnson waiting to happen. At the very least, they feel Williams is not worthy of the No. 2 overall pick in 2011. 在某些人眼裡，DW已經算是個失敗的選秀了...就像Flynn跟Wes 至少，可能不值得浪費一個2th pick Then there are people who love his athleticism and versatility and see him as a starter who can be a volume scorer at the 3 and a backup to Love at the 4. At the very least, they feel Williams is a solid sixth man who can generate offense off the bench. 當然依舊有人喜歡他的全能，而且勉強可以打三號或是扮演4號Love的替補再怎麼不濟，起碼他打第六人還是很ok的嘛.. If Williams is going to start next season, he has to play the 3. That means he needs to improve upon his three-point shooting percentage, which increased from 26.8 percent to 33.2 percent last season. 如果下一季要啟用DW當先發，首先他的投籃能力需要大幅提升。即便是他已經從26.8%提升到了上一季的33.2，不過還是有提升的空間 By improving his shot, he should open the floor up to slash his way through the defense and score with the ball. He has the speed, size and strength necessary to get to the hoop, but he needs to shoot well enough so that defenders don’t sag off of him. 如果他可以有效提升他的投籃能力，有助於他開啟切入的空間他同時也需要增進當對手放投不放切時的投籃穩定度 Williams also needs to improve as a defender, something that will happen with focused offseason regimens and three years of experience in the league. Williams has an opportunity to be a starter next season, but he has to seize it. 最後他需要的是防守，希望他在休賽期可以有更多的進步，並汲取前兩年的經驗 (怎麼好像是在說他只需要加強：進攻、防守= =) 總之，他下一季也可能會在2號先發，但可能需要很努力才有機會爭取到 Shabazz Muhammad as small forward Yet another polarizing player on the Timberwolves, Muhammad is a guy who some feel is talented enough to enter an NBA rotation right away, while others feel that problems both on and off the court will keep him from ever reaching his potential. Shabzz看起來已經是隻即戰力了，不過某些場上、場下因素可能會影響他的天賦發展 In order to get a starting spot, he needs to improve his defense, grab boards on both sides of the court and pass the ball. Essentially, he has to be a good teammate. With his talent, Muhammad could easily be part of the starting five next season. He must be committed to helping the team, however, and cannot be distracted by issues off the court. 假如他想要有辦法先發，他需要提升他做苦工的能力，以及傳球意識。簡單說，他需要當個無私的好隊友。 Chase Budinger as small forward I hate to view Budinger as the “last resort,” but he sort of is. He got a three-year, $16 million contract in the offseason and appropriately so—he’s a good backup. He basically does two things well: drilling three-pointers and throwing home dunks. Those are two nice traits for a player coming off the bench, but his defense is suspect, and he struggles to score from the field. He also has less upside than Williams or Muhammad. With more to offer as a backup 2 or 3, Budinger still can be the starting small forward in a pinch. Minnesota needs shooting, and it’s always nice to have somebody who can excite the crowd with a monster jam. Budinger also passes the ball well and can grab boards, so it is not as though he has nothing to offer. At the same time, he is not a permanent solution as a starting small forward, and the team has to be hoping that either Williams or Muhammad takes ownership of that position to allow Budinger to come off the bench. 雖然不是很想，不過Budinger依舊是有先發的可能性的他是個稱職替補，擁有三分能力，會傳球，甚至還會抓板，偶爾還能灌籃給觀眾看不過他的得分能力不佳，防守也不怎麼樣，如果要讓他先發，可能會在很需要外線火力的時候基本上是不預期也不希望他先發。如果可以的話DW跟Shabazz會是更好的選擇 Conclusion As the player with more experience, Williams looks like the favorite to get the starting job, unless Muhammad outperforms him in camp. Both players are talented enough to start in the NBA, but they have to prove that they have worked out their kinks on the court (and for Muhammad, off of it). Budinger is an option as well, but he is probably served best as a bench player with a spot in the rotation. 在Shabazz證明自己之前，先發人選可能是DW。至於Budinger，應該仍舊會讓他由板凳上來提供火力 Tom Schreier covers Minnesota sports for Bleacher Report and is a contributor to Yahoo!
