马刺队在其辉煌的历史上，各个位置都出现过许多优秀的射手。
欢迎回到 PtR 调查，我们将延续此前的网络投票，请球迷们为自己心仪的球员投票，组成如下方格所示的阵容。最近一次，我们评选了马刺队史最佳防守球员，结果如下：

不出所料，最佳外线防守球员主要在布鲁斯·鲍文和科怀·伦纳德(Kawhi Leonard)之间展开角逐，最终鲍文以多出 100 票、总票数占比 51% 的成绩轻松胜出。尽管伦纳德比鲍文获得了更多个人荣誉，但球迷们还是选择了帮助球队赢得三个总冠军的球员（也许也是两人中对球队更忠诚的那一个）。
最佳护框球员的竞争也主要集中在两位球员之间，这也是迄今为止竞争最激烈的一次投票。蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)以微弱的 12 票优势险胜，第二次入选最佳阵容，而他的前辈兼“双塔”搭档大卫·罗宾逊(David Robinson)则屈居第二。同样，尽管罗宾逊拥有更多个人荣誉，并且是防守端的统治性力量，但“石佛”邓肯的实力也不容忽视。（值得注意的是，这两位赢家曾联手赢得过三个总冠军，并且都获得过很多次年度最佳防守球员的投票，所以他们很可能分走了彼此的选票，这也是为什么两人都没能在这项评选中获得压倒性胜利的原因。）
接下来我们将评选马刺队史最佳得分手，并将其分为三个区域：三分球、中距离和低位。虽然仅凭数据就能轻松得出答案，但其他因素也很重要，例如球员的职业生涯长度、稳定性和可靠性。（例如，保罗·加索尔以 44.4% 的命中率领衔马刺队史三分球命中率榜，但没有人会认为他是马刺队史最佳外线射手。）我们所寻找的，是那些拥有出色投篮手感、并且让你相信他们每次出手都能命中的球员。
以下球员在保持高命中率的同时，也最符合我们对三分射手的描述。（有些人可能会感到震惊，但我没有把马努·吉诺比利(Manu Ginobili)列入其中。虽然他在马刺队史三分球数量方面保持着多项纪录，但他的职业生涯三分球命中率实际上低于 37%，而且每个赛季的表现都不稳定，至少对我来说，这还不足以让他跻身最佳射手之列。如果你不同意我的观点，请在评论区选择“其他”并说明理由。）
对于中距离，即三分线以内、禁区以外的区域，我们有一些意料之中的候选人，比如拉马库斯·阿尔德里奇(LaMarcus Aldridge)和德玛尔·德罗赞(DeMar DeRozan)，他们几乎以中距离为生；但也有一些令人惊讶的人选。比如乔治·格文(George Gervin)，毫无疑问，他是马刺队史最佳得分手，但他不仅仅是一名标准的跳投手。他还擅长指尖挑篮，由于这项技术通常是在罚球线附近完成的，因此也算作短距离中投。我还加入了一位目前正在崛起的球员：德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)，他在四年的职业生涯中，中距离投篮命中率超过了 46%。（如果你想知道这有多厉害，答案是非常厉害。）
最后是马刺队史最佳低位球员。很有可能像其他一些话题一样，未来某一天会有一位来自法国的球员占据这个位置，但现在还不是时候。目前，我们的候选人包括马刺队史最具统治力的两位内线球员：蒂姆·邓肯和大卫·罗宾逊，以及最近几位在低位表现非常精准的球员。阿尔德里奇的入选可能并不意外，而雅各布·珀尔特尔(Jacob Poeltl)在低位的可靠性也相当高。虽然低位单打几乎是他进攻端的全部武器库，但他在这方面做得很好，并且他拥有多项马刺队史进攻效率的纪录是有原因的。
请务必参与投票，记住，如果“其他”选项在任何一项投票中获胜，我将查看此处和社交媒体上的评论，点赞最多的人选将最终胜出。

PtR Survey: The Spurs’ best shooters of all time
The Spurs have had plenty of good shooters at all levels in their storied history.
Welcome back to the PtR Survey, where we are following an online trend where fans are voting on players from their team to fill out a grid like the one below. Most recently, we did the best Spurs defenders of all time, and these were the results:
Best perimeter defender was unsurprisingly mostly down to two players, Bruce Bowen and Kawhi Leonard, and the former ended up pulling out a relatively comfortable victory with 100 more votes and 51% overall. Although Leonard has more hardware to show off than Bowen, fans went with the player who’s defense helped lead them to three championships (and perhaps the more loyal of the two).
Best rim protector was also mostly dominated by two players, and it was the closest poll yet. Winning by just 12 votes at the time of this writing and making his second overall appearance is Tim Duncan, who just barely eked by his predecessor and fellow Twin Tower, David Robinson. Again, while Robinson is the one with more actual hardware and was a dominant force on defense, it’s hard to ignore the GOATPUFF. (And it’s worth noting that the two winners here won three championships together and each received plenty of Defensive Player of the Year votes, so it’s pretty likely they took votes from each other, hence why neither ever won.)
Next up are the Spurs best scorers, split into three zones: three-point shooting, midrange, and down in the post. While it would be easy to rely just on statistics to answer these questions, other facts matter, such as longevity, consistency and reliability. (For example, Pau Gasol leads all Spurs in three-point percentage with the franchise at 44.4%, but no one is going to think of him as the Spurs’ best outside shooter of all time.) These are players who had a pure stroke, and when they went out there, you felt like you could always count on them to hit shots.
For three-pointer shooters, the players the best fit all these descriptions while hitting at a good enough rate are below. (This may shock some, but I did not include Manu Ginobili in this one. While he holds many Spurs three-point shooting records in terms of volume, he was actually a sub-37% shooter from outside for his career and was inconsistent from season to season, which at least for me just doesn’t place him among the best. If I’m wrong, vote other and explain in the comments.)
For midrange, which is inside the three-point line but outside the restricted area, we have some expected candidates like LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan, who practically lived in the midrange, but also a couple of surprises. There’s George Gervin, who is with little doubt the Spurs’ best scorer of all time in general, but he wasn’t just your standard jump-shooter. There was also the finger roll, which because it was usually taken from the top of the paint, would constitute a short mid-range shot. I also included a current riser in that category, Devin Vassell, who in his four-year career has made over 46% of his midrange shots. (In case anyone is wondering, that’s pretty darn good.)
Finally, there’s the Spurs best post player. It’s quite possible that like some other topics, a certain player from France will overtake this spot someday, but not yet. For now, we have the Spurs’ two most dominant big men ever in Tim Duncan and David Robinson, plus a couple more recent players who were very accurate down in the post. Aldridge may not be a surprise, but Jacob Poeltl was about as reliable as it comes down low. While the post-up was about all he had in his offensive arsenal, he was good at it, and he owns several Spurs records for offensive efficiency for a reason.
Be sure to vote, and remember, if “Other” wins in either poll, I will check the comments here and on social media, and the most liked will win.
