圣安东尼奥马刺队在第二轮NBA选秀中可能会瞄准哪些球员。
凭借着2024年NBA选秀中的两个前十顺位签，圣安东尼奥马刺队可能会获得两名核心球员。这两名球员的选秀前景掩盖了马刺队另外两个选秀签。圣安东尼奥马刺队拥有第二轮的第35顺位和第48顺位选秀权。正如许多马刺球迷所知，第二轮中可以找到璞玉——马努·吉诺比利就是明证。
许多评估师称2024年选秀为“弱势”，但第二轮却蕴藏着大量人才，包括令人着迷的国际球员和可以帮助马刺队的大学老将。随着两个首轮签和今年夏天高达2150万美元的薪资空间，圣安东尼奥马刺队将接近他们阵容中的15名球员上限。这些第二轮签可能会在将来被交易以换取其他资产。如果马刺队真的在第二轮选中球员，请关注以下球员。
迪伦·琼斯（Dillon Jones），6尺6寸侧翼，韦伯州立大学
2023-2024赛季数据: 20.8分，9.8篮板，5.2助攻，48.9%投篮命中率，32.4%三分命中率，85.7%罚球命中率，52.7%有效投篮命中率
在所有第二轮选秀球员中，琼斯身上充满了马刺队的影子。他是一位多才多艺的侧翼，在控球方面拥有丰富的技巧。琼斯作为一名大四球员，荣获大天空联盟的年度最佳球员。当之无愧，因为韦伯州立大学凭借着琼斯在挡拆、单打和接球投篮方面的得分能力，将自己推上了NBA球队们的关注名单。
琼斯不是一位顶级运动员，但他强壮且拥有出色的球场意识。他在上赛季的助攻率达到31%，并且在为队友创造机会方面表现出色。他在挡拆中表现出极大的耐心。他超越了达米安·利拉德，成为了韦伯州立大学历史上助攻榜的第一名。最重要的是，他拥有6尺6寸的身高和6尺11寸的臂展。琼斯的不足之处在于他的三分球命中率以及缺乏空中力量。他在上赛季的三分球命中率仅为32.4%。琼斯的投篮姿势干净利落，他拥有良好的触感，并且在上赛季投进了一些远投。他最终能够在下一个级别成为一名可靠的射手，这应该让人抱有乐观态度。
琼斯将非常适合马刺队。他将为他们带来一名经验丰富的大学球员，能够自己得分并为队友创造机会。他可以在无球状态下接球投篮，并且在快攻中抢篮板和发动进攻。随着圣安东尼奥马刺队继续打造他们的侧翼阵容深度，添加像琼斯这样拥有得分能力的聪明球员，最终可能会让他们的进攻火力全开。据报道，他在选秀之前参加了马刺队的试训。
安东尼奥·里夫斯（Antonio Reeves），6尺4寸后卫，肯塔基大学
2023-2024赛季数据: 20.2分，4.2篮板，1.6助攻，51.2%投篮命中率，44.7%三分命中率，86.3%罚球命中率，60.3%有效投篮命中率
圣安东尼奥马刺队需要射手，而里夫斯可以提供大量的火力。在肯塔基大学的高效进攻体系中，包括里德·谢泼德和罗布·迪林汉姆，里夫斯脱颖而出。这名第五年大四球员在上赛季为野猫队打出了爆炸性的表现，并且拥有作为空间型射手的长期记录。他在选秀之前参加了马刺队的试训。
里夫斯可以在移动中或在跳投后投篮。他拥有一个漂亮的抛投，当被逼出三分线时，他可以完成抛投，并且展示出了在篮下终结的能力。选择里夫斯完全取决于他的得分能力。如果马刺队在第二轮中押注射手，那么里夫斯应该成为他们目标名单中的首选。
特里斯坦·牛顿（Tristen Newton），6尺5寸后卫，康涅狄格大学
2023-2024赛季数据: 15.1分，6.6篮板，6.2助攻，41.5%投篮命中率，32.1%三分命中率，80.8%罚球命中率，49.5%有效投篮命中率
如果马刺队在首轮选中斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，也许他们也可以在第二轮中选择他的后场搭档？牛顿是康涅狄格大学两支全国冠军球队中的先发球员，并且在去年入选了全美最佳阵容。牛顿身高6尺5寸，在后卫位置上拥有出色的体型，并且作为一名挡拆控球手和分球手，在哈士奇队中表现出色。
牛顿擅长突破，并且展现出了一些远投的能力。他在上赛季的三分球命中率为36.6%，但作为一名第五年大四球员，他的三分球命中率仅为32.1%。牛顿不是那种在第二轮中值得冒险的选择，但他在大学中表现出色，很难想象他无法在NBA成为一名高效的角色球员。
选中像牛顿这样的球员，他们在高水平的比赛中取得了胜利，并且知道如何在高强度传球体系中打球，这对马刺队来说非常有意义。牛顿可能不会立即成为主力，但他将成为后卫位置上的稳固替补。在所有第二轮选择中，牛顿感觉像是发展成为一名替补后卫的更稳妥的选择。
尼古拉·朱里西奇（Nikola Djurisic），6尺7寸侧翼，KK 梅加队
2023-2024赛季数据: 14.4分，2.7篮板，3.4助攻，45.4%投篮命中率，33%三分命中率，73.9%罚球命中率
上赛季，比拉尔·库利巴利凭借着与维克多·文班亚马并肩作战的出色表现，在选秀顺位上飞速上升。朱里西奇在与尼古拉·托皮奇搭档的情况下，可能会在本届选秀中走上类似的轨迹。这位来自塞尔维亚的侧翼是一位多才多艺的球员，拥有很高的篮球智商。有时，他看起来像一名体型更大的投篮创造者，能够传球。其他时候，他在梅加队的比赛中消失了。
朱里西奇展示了一些在挡拆中控球并创造投篮机会的能力，他擅长拉杆跳投。对于他的体型来说，他是一名优秀的运动员，并且能够在篮下完成终结。朱里西奇拥有一个漂亮的投篮姿势，但他投篮不够稳定，无法提升到首轮选秀的水平。相信朱里西奇的球队，是在押注他的投篮创造能力和篮球智商能够在下一个级别中得到体现。
圣安东尼奥马刺队可以在第二轮中选中朱里西奇作为发展型球员，就像西迪·西索科一样。朱里西奇可以在奥斯汀发展，获得大量控球机会，学习如何面对NBA级别的竞争对手为自身和队友创造机会。马刺队可能会再次找到一名来自欧洲的、极具创造力的进攻型侧翼。
贾马尔·谢德（Jamal Shead），6尺1寸后卫，休斯顿大学
2023-2024赛季数据: 12.9分，6.3助攻，2.2抢断，40.9%投篮命中率，30.9%三分命中率，77.9%罚球命中率，45.8%有效投篮命中率
圣安东尼奥马刺队拥有难得的机会，可以打造联盟中最出色的防守之一。文班亚马已经是联盟中最好的护框球员之一，如果不是最好的。他们正在培养杰里米·索汉和朱利安·尚帕涅这样的优秀的侧翼防守球员。他们可以通过第二轮中的一个选秀权，选择选秀中最好的防守球员之一。
谢德是一名防守悍将。他紧贴着控球手——他在上赛季的抢断率为4.3%（文班亚马在上赛季马刺队中以2.0%的抢断率领先）。他连续两届入选了全美最佳阵容，并且连续两届获得联盟最佳防守球员（一个在AAC，另一个在Big-12）。在进攻端，他凭借着39%的助攻率，是一名出色的组织者。他能够突破并完成抛投。他在休斯顿大学的投篮能力并不出色，如果他想要在进攻端拥有全面的能力，就需要开发自己的跳投。
特雷·琼斯拥有到期合同，马刺队可能需要开始考虑如何取代他。长期保留这位控球后卫将会很棒，但如果他的合同在自由市场上变得过于昂贵，那么更便宜的选择可能是更好的选择。谢德将为马刺队带来一名在进攻端具有侵略性的防守后卫，并且能够在替补席上组织进攻。
阿德姆·博纳（Adem Bona），6尺10寸中锋，加州大学洛杉矶分校
2023-2024赛季数据: 12.4分，5.9篮板，1.8盖帽，58.8%投篮命中率，0%三分命中率，69.6%罚球命中率，58.8%有效投篮命中率
凭借着文班亚马、扎克·科林斯、多米尼克·巴洛和查尔斯·巴西，圣安东尼奥马刺队的中锋位置并不缺乏人手。所以，如果他们看重一名大个球员，他们可以在第二轮中选择一名球员，并花时间培养他。博纳将为他们带来一名发展型大个球员，并且拥有选秀中最强的动力。
博纳是一名来自加州大学洛杉矶分校的大二中锋，他在2023年选秀中获得了部分首轮签的关注。他在2023年选秀大会上接受了马刺队的采访，但关于他在2024年选秀前的周期中是否与圣安东尼奥马刺队有接触，还没有消息。博纳是一名矮个子但勤奋的中锋，可以防守篮筐。他不如其他大个球员那么有技术，并且不会提供任何空间，但他是在选秀中工作最努力的中锋之一，并且拥有出色的运动能力（他的垂直弹跳达到40英寸）。
圣安东尼奥马刺队可以通过他们的两个第二轮签之一选中博纳，并希望在奥斯汀培养他的技能。他们是在押注他能够发展成为一名出色的双向篮筐终结者/防守者。凭借着他的运动能力和动力，博纳感觉像是一个值得培养的大个球员，他最终可能会成为一名轮换球员。

Spurs Prospect Preview: Second Rounders
Who San Antonio could target in the second round of the NBA Draft.
With two top-ten picks in the 2024 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs could leave with two core players. Those two picks have overshadowed the other two selections the Spurs have. San Antonio has the 35th and 48th picks in the second round. As many Spurs fans know, you can find gems in round two – Manu Ginobili is living proof.
The 2024 Draft has been called “weak” by many evaluators, but the second round has a lot of talent including intriguing international prospects and college veterans who could help the Spurs. With two first-round selections and up to $21.5 million in cap space this summer, San Antonio will be close to the maximum 15 players on their roster. These second-round picks are likely to be traded for other assets down the line. If the Spurs do make their selections in the second round, keep your eyes on the following players.
Dillon Jones, 6-foot-6 wing, Weber State
2023-2024 stats: 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 48.9% FG, 32.4% 3PT, 85.7% FT, 52.7% eFG
Of all the second-round prospects, Jones screams Spur. He’s a versatile wing who has plenty of skill with the ball in his hands. Jones was the Big Sky’s player of the year as a senior. Rightfully so, as Weber put himself on NBA team’s radars with his ability to score in the pick and roll, isolation and off the catch.
Jones isn’t a supreme athlete, but he’s strong and has great awareness. He had a 31% assist rate last season and was awesome making plays for others. He has great patience in the pick and roll. He passed Damian Lillard on Weber State’s all-time assist list. On top of it all, he has great size at 6-foot-6 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan. The knock of Jones is his three-point shot and his lack of above-the-rim athleticism. He made just 32.4% of his threes last season. Jones’s shot looks clean, he has good touch indicators and he hit some deep shots last season. There should be some optimism that he can eventually be a respectable shooter at the next level.
Jones would fit in great with the Spurs. He’d give them a veteran college player who can create for himself and others. He can play off the ball spotting up, and grab and go in transition. As San Antonio continues to build out its wing depth, adding smart players who can score like Jones could eventually supercharge their offense. He reportedly worked out for the Spurs before the draft.
Antonio Reeves, 6-foot-4 guard, Kentucky
2023-2024 stats: 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 51.2% FG, 44.7% 3PT, 86.3% FT, 60.3% eFG
San Antonio needs shooting, and Reeves provides it in bunches. In Kentucky’s high-powered offense that included Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham, Reeves stood out. The fifth-year senior was explosive for the Wildcats last season and has a long track record as a floor spacer. He worked out for the Spurs pre-draft.
Reeves can shoot off movement or the bounce. He has a nice floater he can get to if he’s pushed off the three-point line and displayed an ability to finish at the rim. Selecting Reeves would be entirely predicated on his scoring ability. If the Spurs are taking bets on shooters in the second round, Reeves should be high on their list of targets.
Tristen Newton, 6-foot-5 guard, UCONN
2023-2024 stats: 15.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 41.5% FG, 32.1% 3PT, 80.8% FT, 49.5% eFG
If the Spurs select Stephon Castle in the first round, perhaps they could also take his backcourt mate in the second? Newton was a starter on both of UCONN’s national championship teams and was a consensus All-American last year. At 6-foot-5, Newton provides great size for the guard position and worked wonders as a pick-and-roll ball-handler and distributor for the Huskies.
Newton is effective getting downhill and showed some ability to hit shots from deep. He hit 36.6% of his shots from deep last season, but just 32.1% of his threes as a fifth-year senior. Newton’s not a swing-for-the-fences kind of second-round pick, but he’s performed so well in college that it’s hard to imagine him not being an effective role player in the NBA.
Drafting players like Newton who’ve won at a high level and know how to play in a heavy ball-movement system makes a lot of sense for the Spurs. Newton likely wouldn’t factor in right away but would be a solid depth piece at guard. Of all the second-round choices, Newton feels like a safer bet to develop into a backup guard.
Nikola Djurisic, 6-foot-7 wing, KK Mega
2023-2024 stats: 14.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 45.4% FG, 33% 3PT, 73.9% FT
Last season Bilal Coulibaly leaped up draft boards thanks to his stellar play next to Victor Wembanyama. Djurisic could have a similar trajectory in this draft, playing alongside Nikola Topic. The wing from Serbia is a versatile player with a high basketball IQ. At times he looked like a big, shot-creating wing who can dish the ball. Other times he disappeared from Mega’s games.
Djurisic has shown some ability to handle the ball in the pick-and-roll and create shots for himself on pull-up jumpers. He’s a good athlete for his size and finishes well at the basket. Djurisic has a good-looking jumper but he didn’t shoot it consistently enough to elevate to the level of a first-round pick. Teams that believe in Djurisic are betting on his shot creation and basketball IQ translating to the next level.
San Antonio could take Djurisic as a developmental project in the second round a la Sidy Cissoko. Djurisic could develop in Austin, getting plenty of on-ball reps to learn how to create for himself and others against NBA-level competition. The Spurs may just find themselves another European, creative offensive wing.
Jamal Shead, 6-foot-1 guard, Houston
2023-2024 stats: 12.9 points, 6.3 assists, 2.2 steals, 40.9% FG, 30.9% 3PT, 77.9% FT, 45.8% eFG
San Antonio has a rare opportunity to build one of the best defenses in the NBA. Wembanyama is already one of, if not the best rim protectors in the NBA. They are developing good wing defenders in Jeremy Sochan and Julian Champagnie. With one of their second-round picks, they could look to grab one of the best defensive players in the draft.
Shead is a defensive dog. He hounds ball handlers – with a 4.3% steal rate last season (Wembanyama had the best on the Spurs last season at 2.0%). He was a consensus All-American and a back-to-back conference defensive player of the year (one in the AAC, and the other in the Big-12). Offensively he’s a great distributor with his 39% assist rate. He’s able to get to the rim and finish with runners. He wasn’t a great shooter at Houston and will need to develop a jump shot if he wants to have a well-rounded offensive game.
With Tre Jones on an expiring contract, the Spurs may need to begin thinking about how they want to replace him. It would be great to keep the floor general long term, but if his contract becomes too expensive in free agency, cheaper options may be a better fit. Shead would give the Spurs a tenacious defensive guard at the point of attack who can also distribute the ball off the bench.
Adem Bona, 6-foot-10 center, UCLA
2023-2024 stats: 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 58.8% FG, 0% 3PT, 69.6% FT, 58.8 eFG
With Wembanyama, Zach Collins, Dominick Barlow and Charles Bassey, San Antonio isn’t lacking bodies at the center position. So if they value a big man, they can select one in the second round and take time to develop him. Bona would give them a developmental big with one of the best motors in the draft.
Bona is a sophomore center from UCLA who received some first-round buzz in the 2023 Draft. He interviewed with the Spurs at the 2023 combine, but there has been no word of him being involved with San Antonio during the 2024 pre-draft cycle. Bona is an undersized but hard-working center who defends the rim. He isn’t as skilled as other bigs, and won’t provide any floor spacing, but he is one of the hardest-working centers in the draft with great athleticism (he has a 40-inch vertical jump).
San Antonio could take Bona with either of their second-round picks and hope to develop his skills in Austin. They’d be betting on his ability to develop into an awesome two-way rim finisher/protector. With his athleticism and motor, Bona feels like a worthwhile big-man project who could become a rotation piece down the line.
