格伦代尔,亚利桑那州 - 4月8日:康涅狄格大学的斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)在康涅狄格大学以75-60战胜普渡大学赢得NCAA男子篮球锦标赛冠军后,在州立农场体育场砍下了球网。

随着马刺队在周三的NBA选秀大会上拥有第4顺位和第8顺位的整体选秀权,以下列出了10位需要关注的球员:

斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle),后卫,康涅狄格大学

卡斯尔是一名顽强的防守球员,进攻技巧正在迅速发展,他可能会成为2024届最优秀的球员。

扎卡里·里萨切(Zaccharie Risacher),前锋,法国

里萨切身高6英尺8英寸,是一名大个子侧翼球员,预计将成为一名稳定的三分射手和防守球员,同时具备更大的潜力。

里德·谢泼德(Reed Sheppard),后卫,肯塔基大学

谢泼德将填补马刺队外线迫切需要的投射能力,但有可能在第4顺位之前被选中。

罗布·迪林汉姆(Rob Dillingham),后卫,肯塔基大学

迪林汉姆是谢泼德在大学的队友,是一位天才得分手,但他仍然存在一些关于体型和防守能力的疑问。

多诺万·克林根(Donovan Clingan),中锋,康涅狄格大学

将维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)与另一位身高7英尺3英寸的球员配对的想法很有吸引力,尽管这可能会导致进攻空间不足。

德文·卡特(Devin Carter),后卫,普罗维登斯大学

大东区年度最佳球员在NBA选秀联合会中表现出色,如果马刺队错过其他控球后卫,他可能会成为一个选择。

马塔斯·布泽利斯(Matas Buzelis),前锋,G联赛点燃队

布泽利斯身高6英尺9英寸,拥有出色的技术和运动能力,但需要增加肌肉以在更高水平上取得成功。

蒂迪安·萨劳内(Tidjane Salaune),前锋,法国

萨劳内身高6英尺9英寸,臂展达到7英尺2英寸,而且还在继续长高,这位18岁的球员自夏季开始以来一直在选秀榜上不断上升。

罗恩·霍兰德(Ron Holland),前锋,G联赛点燃队

霍兰德曾是德克萨斯大学的招募目标,拥有出色的运动能力和良好的拼劲,但他必须打磨自己的整体比赛才能在NBA取得成功。

尼古拉·托皮奇(Nikola Topic),后卫,塞尔维亚

如果不是因为上个月遭受的ACL损伤,这位18岁的球员本可能是本届选秀大会中选秀顺位最高的控球后卫。

NBA draft: 10 names to know for Spurs’ No. 4 and No. 8 picks

GLENDALE, ARIZONA - APRIL 08: Stephon Castle #5 of the Connecticut Huskies cuts down the net after beating the Purdue Boilermakers 75-60 to win the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament National Championship game at State Farm Stadium on April 08, 2024 in Glendale, Arizona.

Here are 10 names to know as the Spurs enter Wednesday’s NBA draft with the No. 4 and No. 8 overall picks:

Stephon Castle, guard, Connecticut

Dogged defender with rapidly developing offensive skills who could emerge as the best player in the 2024 class.

Zaccharie Risacher, forward, France

Big wing at 6-foot-8 who projects to be a steady 3-and-D player, with upside for more.

Reed Sheppard, guard, Kentucky

Would fill a gaping shooting need for the Spurs on the perimeter, but might be gone by No. 4.

Rob Dillingham, guard, Kentucky

Sheppard’s college teammate is a gifted scorer, but questions persist about size and defensive abilities.

Donovan Clingan, center, Connecticut

Idea of pairing Victor Wembanyama with another 7-foot-3 player is intriguing, though offensive spacing could be an issue.

Devin Carter, guard, Providence

Big East Player of the Year starred at the NBA draft combine, and could be an option if Spurs miss on other point guards.

Matas Buzelis, forward, G League Ignite

Superior skill and athleticism at 6-foot-9, but will need to put on muscle to thrive at the next level.

Tidjane Salaune, forward, France

At 6-9 with a 7-2 wingspan — and possibly growing — the 18-year-old has been rising up draft boards since the start of summer.

Ron Holland, forward, G League Ignite

Former University of Texas recruit boasts plus athleticism and good motor, but must polish his overall game to thrive in the NBA.

Nikola Topic, guard, Serbia

The 18-year-old might have been the top point guard selected if not for ACL injury suffered last month.
