在我们挑选第三名球员时，是时候开始思考我们的球队将拥有怎样的身份了。
马刺队以其出色的选秀眼光而闻名。从超级巨星到精英角色球员，在格雷格·波波维奇时代，即使没有高顺位选秀权，圣安东尼奥也能培养出贡献者。问题是，人才库到底有多深？PtR 团队开始着手寻找答案。
雅各布·道格拉斯(Jacob Douglas)、杰斯·戈麦斯(Jesus Gomez)、J.R. 威尔科(J.R. Wilco)和我参加了一个 蛇形选秀 ，从波波维奇时代的马刺首轮秀中组建球队——这可能过于具体，但你总得从某个地方开始。（如果我们玩得很开心——提示一下，我们确实很开心——也许我们会用更广泛的选秀池再来一次。）选秀池从蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)到斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)，共有 22 名球员，包括选秀之夜得到的科怀·伦纳德(Kawhi Leonard)，但不包括从未为马刺效力过的球员。以下是目前已被选中的球员：
雅各布队
- 德章泰·默里(Dejounte Murray)，控球后卫（第 29 顺位，2016 年）
- 维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，中锋（第 1 顺位，2023 年）
J.R.队
- 蒂姆·邓肯，大前锋（第 1 顺位，1997 年）
- 蒂亚戈·斯普利特(Tiago Splitter)，中锋（第 28 顺位，2007 年）
玛丽莲队
- 托尼·帕克(Tony Parker)，控球后卫（第 28 顺位，2001 年）
- 德里克·怀特(Derrick White)，得分后卫（第 29 顺位，2017 年）
杰斯队
- 德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)，得分后卫（第 11 顺位，2020 年）
- 科怀·伦纳德，小前锋（第 15 顺位，2011 年）
以下是仍在等待被选中的球员：
- 贝诺·尤德里(Beno Udrih)，控球后卫（第 28 顺位，2004 年）
- 伊安·马辛米(Ian Mahimi)，中锋（第 28 顺位，2005 年）
- 乔治·希尔(George Hill)，控球后卫（第 26 顺位，2008 年）
- 詹姆斯·安德森(James Anderson)，得分后卫（第 20 顺位，2009 年）
- 科里·约瑟夫(Cory Joseph)，控球后卫（第 29 顺位，2011 年）
- 凯尔·安德森(Kyle Anderson)，小前锋（第 30 顺位，2014 年）
- 朗尼·沃克(Lonnie Walker)，得分后卫（第 18 顺位，2018 年）
- 卢卡·沙马尼奇(Luka Samanic)，大前锋（第 19 顺位，2019 年）
- 凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)，小前锋（第 29 顺位，2019 年）
- 约书亚·普里莫(Josh Primo)，控球后卫（第 12 顺位，2021 年）
- 杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)，大前锋（第 9 顺位，2022 年）
- 马拉基·布拉纳姆(Malaki Branham)，得分后卫（第 20 顺位，2022 年）
- 布莱克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)，得分后卫（第 24 顺位，2022 年）
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，控球后卫（第 4 顺位，2024 年）
在某种程度上，这是最重要的一轮，因为现在是时候开始真正考虑球队的身份了，所以每一个决定都至关重要。进入第三轮！（提醒一下，因为这是蛇形选秀，所以选择顺序与上一轮相反。）
- 雅各布·道格拉斯：凯尔·安德森（第 30 顺位，2014 年）
我已经选好了我的明星大个子和后卫。现在我想用侧翼和射手来包围他们。我选择了联盟中最好的粘合剂球员之一，安德森。“慢动作”虽然投篮不稳定（投篮姿势奇葩），但他可以防守多个位置，控球，进行二次传球，并在需要时在内线得分。如果我必须选择安德森职业生涯中的某一年，那将是他 2020-2021 赛季效力于孟菲斯灰熊队的那一年，当时他场均贡献 12.4 分、5.7 个篮板、3.6 次助攻和 1.2 次抢断，投篮命中率为 46.8%，三分球命中率为 36%，罚球命中率为 78.3%。有了文班亚马、默里和安德森，我们有了一个高大、防守稳固的班底。
- J.R. 威尔科：乔治·希尔（第 26 顺位，2008 年）
我又一次被截胡了（上一轮我正准备选德里克·怀特，玛丽莲就选走了他），我发现我需要外线防守、控球和三分球……也许我选希尔比“慢动作”更好。毕竟，“波波最喜欢的球员”也不会差到哪里去。我最终会需要一个控球后卫，但这次选秀中控卫太多了，随便扔块石头都能砸中三个。此外，希尔对波波的战术体系了如指掌，所以他可以发起进攻、打无球和投三分，或者掩护和组织进攻。即使我需要让他打小前锋，我也对乔治感到满意。不仅仅是满意，我感到很高兴。谢谢你，雅各布！
- 玛丽莲·杜宾斯基(Marilyn Dubinski)：杰里米·索汉（第 9 顺位，2023 年）
我的后场已经准备就绪，现在该增加一些身高了。我可能更看重潜力，但索汉还年轻，还有很大的上升空间。他已经成为联盟中最好的年轻防守者之一，可以说可以防守所有五个位置（包括较矮的中锋）。在进攻端，他是一个优秀的篮下终结者，并且正在提高（尽管非传统）外线投篮能力，同时也有能力成为第二持球手和组织者。（当然，有帕克和怀特在场上，他不需要做太多这样的事情，所以谢天谢地，不会重演 2023-24 赛季上半段的情况。）也许最重要的是，我正在打造一支可以在转换进攻中快速推进的球队，索汉肯定会为这种球队身份增光添彩。
- 杰斯·戈麦斯：凯尔登·约翰逊（第 29 顺位，2019 年）
我们缺少一些个性。伦纳德和瓦塞尔的组合给了我可靠的得分，但这无疑是一个安静且有点无聊的核心。氛围很重要，我们缺少一个 X 因素，一个能够提供能量和身体对抗，并且可以在任何一个晚上爆发的球员。凯尔登·约翰逊就是那个人。在防守端，我们可能会在面对更高大的锋线组合时遇到一些问题，但如果约翰逊能够投进三分并攻击对手的防守，我们的进攻应该足够强大，足以弥补这一点。我们还有时间增加内线的高度和更有破坏力的防守者，但我们知道我们是什么：一支可以打快攻或半场阵地战，并且在需要时可以换防的现代球队。我拥有了所有我需要的得分点。现在剩下的就是找到能够在防守端提供帮助的角色球员了。

Redrafting the Spurs first round picks, Round 3: Finding a team identity
As we pick our third players, it’s time to start thinking about what identity our teams will have.
The Spurs have a well-earned reputation for being great drafters. From superstars to elite role players, San Antonio has traditionally gotten contributors even without high picks in the Gregg Popovich era. The question is, just how deep is the talent pool, really? The PtR staff set out to find the answer.
Jacob Douglas, Jesus Gomez, J.R. Wilco and I participated in a snake draft to build teams from the pool of Spurs’ first-round draft picks of the Pop era — maybe it’s too overly-specific but you’ve got to start somewhere. (And if we have a lot of fun — hint, we are — maybe we’ll do it again with a much wider pool to choose from.) The pool begins with Tim Duncan through Stephon Castle for a total of 22 players, including draft night acquisition Kawhi Leonard but not picks who never played for the Spurs. Below are the players drafted so far:
Team Jacob
- Dejounte Murray, PG (29th, 2016)
- Victor Wembanyama, C (1st, 2023)
Team J.R.
- Tim Duncan, PF (1st, 1997)
- Tiago Splitter, C (28th, 2007)
Team Marilyn
- Tony Parker, PG (28th, 2001)
- Derrick White, SG (29th, 2017)
Team Jesus
- Devin Vassell, SG (11th, 2020)
- Kawhi Leonard, SF (15th, 2011)
And here are the players still waiting to be drafted:
- Beno Udrih, PG (28th, 2004)
- Ian Mahimi, C (28th, 2005)
- George Hill, PG (26th, 2008)
- James Anderson, SG (20th, 2009)
- Cory Joseph, PG (29th, 2011)
- Kyle Anderson, SF (30th, 2014)
- Lonnie Walker, SG (18th, 2018)
- Luka Samanic, PF (19th, 2019)
- Keldon Johnson, SF (29th, 2019)
- Josh Primo, PG (12th, 2021)
- Jeremy Sochan, PF (9th, 2022)
- Malaki Branham, SG (20th, 2022)
- Blake Wesley, SG (24th, 2022)
- Stephon Castle, PG (4th, 2024)
In a way, this is the most important round since now is the time to start really considering team identity, so each decision is key. On to the third round! (Reminder, because this is a snake draft, the order of choosing is the reverse of the previous round.)
9. Jacob Douglas: Kyle Anderson (30th, 2014)
I drafted my star big man and guard. Now I want to surround them with wings and shooters. I went with one of the league’s best glue guys in Anderson. Albeit a streaky shooter (with an insane form), Slow-Mo gives us a defender who can guard multiple positions, handle the ball and make secondary passing reads and play inside if needed. If I had to pick a specific year of Anderson’s career, it would be his 2020-2021 season with the Memphis Grizzlies when he stuffed the stat sheet, averaging 12.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 46.8% from the field, 36% from three and 78.3% from the free throw line. With Wembanyama, Murray and Anderson we have a long, defensive foundation to build the team upon.
10. J.R. Wilco: George Hill (26th, 2008)
Sniped once again (last round I was about to take Derrick White when Marilyn did) I find myself needing perimeter defense and ball handling and three-point shooting … maybe I’m better off with Hill than Slow-Mo anyway. After all, you could do worse than Pop’s Favorite Player. I’m eventually going to need a point guard, but there are so many in this draft it’d be hard to throw a rock without hitting three of them. Besides, Hill knows Pop’s sets frontwards and backwards, so he could initiate, play off-ball and hit threes, or set picks and facilitate. I’m satisfied with Georgie even if I need to play him at SF. More than satisfied, I’m pleased. Thanks Jacob!
11. Marilyn Dubinski: Jeremy Sochan (9th, 2023)
I have my backcourt all set, and now it’s time to add some size. I may be leaning on potential here, but Jeremy Sochan is young with plenty of upside. He’s already one of the best young defenders in the league and can arguably guard all five positions (including smaller centers). On offense, he’s a good scorer around the rim with an improving (if unconventional) outside shot, as well as the ability to be a secondary ball-handler and playmaker. (Not that he’ll have to do that too much with Parker and White on the floor, so thankfully no repeat of the first half of 2023-24.) Perhaps most importantly, I’m building a quick team that can get out and run in transition, and Sochan is certainly someone who will add to that identity.
12. Jesus Gomez: Keldon Johnson (29th, 2019)
We are missing some personality here. The Leonard-Vassell duo gives me reliable scoring, but it’s undeniably a quiet and somewhat boring core. Vibes matter, and we are missing an X Factor, someone who will provide energy and physicality and who can go off on any given night. Keldon Johnson is that guy. Defensively we could have some issues against bigger frontcourts, but if Johnson hits his threes and attacks closeouts, the offense should be potent enough to make up for it. There’s still time to add some size inside and more disruptive defenders, but we know what we are: a modern team that can run or play in the half-court, and switch if needed. I have all the scoring I need. Now all that’s left is getting role players who can help on the other side of the ball.
