2024年5月11日星期六,在圣安东尼奥的斯高比教育中心和天文馆,维克多·文班亚马在获得2023-24赛季最佳新秀奖杯后在新闻发布会上讲话。

马刺传奇般的抽签运气再次显灵。

不,马刺并没有在周日芝加哥举行的NBA选秀抽签中获得状元签,如他们上赛季那样获得了未来最佳新秀文班亚马的选秀权。

球队从选秀中获得了两个前10顺位选秀权,分别排在第4顺位和第8顺位,这与最佳情况非常接近。

马刺通过2022年雅各布·珀尔特尔的交易从多伦多获得了第8顺位选秀权。如果猛龙队(在抽签中排第六)获得前6顺位,他们本来可以保留这个选秀权。

马刺队在抽签前,在球队历史上第四次获得状元签的赔率排名第四(10.5%)。他们有42.1%的概率进入前4顺位,而他们也做到了。

如果没有去年的状元签,第4和第8顺位选秀权将是马刺队自1997年蒂姆·邓肯以状元身份被选中以来获得的最高顺位。

亚特兰大队凭借从倒数第二的概率跃居第1顺位,迎来了所有球队中最棒的运气,这也是他们球队历史上第一次获得状元签。

Spurs’ lottery luck continues with a pair of top 10 picks

The Spurs’ legendary lottery luck paid off again.

No, the Spurs did not cash in the No. 1 pick in Sunday’s NBA draft lottery drawing in Chicago, like they did last season in winning the right to nab future Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama.

The team did come away from a pair of top 10 picks, landing at No. 4 and No. 8, which was pretty close to the best-case scenario.

The Spurs got the eighth pick from Toronto thanks to the 2022 Jakob Poeltl trade. Had the Raptors – who had the sixth-best lottery odds coming in – landed in the top 6, they could have kept the pick.

The Spurs entered the afternoon with the fourth-best odds of hitting the top pick for the fourth time in franchise history (10.5 percent). They had a 42.1-percent chance of ending up in the top 4, which they did.

Had it not been for last year’s No. 1 finish, the fourth and eighth picks would have been the Spurs’ highest since drafting Tim Duncan first overall in 1997.

Atlanta emerged with the best luck of all, moving from the second-worst odds to land the No. 1 pick for the first time in franchise history.
