2024 年 NBA 选秀抽签大会

ESPN 的鲍比·马克斯(Bobby Marks)分析了马刺队与联盟其他“资产囤积者”相比的未来选秀资本情况。

圣安东尼奥马刺队一直在囤积未来资产,这已经不是什么秘密了。马刺队总经理布莱恩·莱特(Brian Wright)效仿俄克拉荷马雷霆队的模式,在建立年轻核心的同时,尽可能多地获得选秀权。根据 ESPN 鲍比·马克斯 的说法,圣安东尼奥的资产宝库是联盟中最丰厚的。

马克斯最近在 ESPN 的一篇文章中,将未来七年拥有 62 个首轮选秀权和 2025 年选秀大会 30 个签位中 13 个签位的五支球队进行了排名:俄克拉荷马城雷霆队、圣安东尼奥马刺队、犹他爵士队布鲁克林篮网队休斯顿火箭队

以下是马刺队在未来七年拥有的首轮签的简要回顾:

  • 他们自己的全部七个首轮签
  • 来自亚特兰大的两个无保护首轮签(2025 年和 2027 年)
  • 来自夏洛特的受前 14 位保护的首轮签(2025 年)
  • 来自芝加哥的受前 10 位保护的首轮签(2025 年,2026 年和 2027 年受前 8 位保护)
  • 来自明尼苏达的无保护首轮签(2031 年)
  • 交换权:亚特兰大(2026 年)
  • 交换权:波士顿(2028 年,受前 1 位保护)
  • 交换权:达拉斯和明尼苏达中更有利的那个(受前 1 位保护)(2030 年)
  • 交换权:萨克拉门托(2031 年)

马克斯对马刺队选秀资本的质量感到最为兴奋。当然,在接下来的七年里,不需要为任何人欠下一个选秀权是很棒的,但圣安东尼奥也积累了一些非常有价值的选秀权。

亚特兰大老鹰队 在 2025 年和 2027 年的选秀权(以及 2026 年的交换权)是联盟中最好的资产之一。如果亚特兰大再经历一个动荡的赛季,马刺队可能会在一个选秀大年获得一个额外的乐透签位。失去德玛尔·德罗赞(DeMar DeRozan)将对芝加哥公牛队造成沉重打击。扎克·拉文(Zach LaVine)和尼古拉·武切维奇(Nikola Vucevic)的反弹赛季可以确保他们在选秀中保持在前 10 名之外。夏洛特是一个未知数,但明智的钱押在这支年轻球队将无缘季后赛。马刺队有可能拥有 4 个首轮签,但更有可能的是,他们最终会得到 2 个——他们自己的和亚特兰大的。

当然,所有这些选秀权的好处在于,马刺队实际上并不需要全部使用它们。圣安东尼奥可以利用这些选秀权来交易得到有能力赢球的球员,以辅佐维克多·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)。或者,就像他们在 2024 年 NBA 选秀大会 上所做的那样,他们可以用一个选秀权换取多个未来的资产,就像与 明尼苏达森林狼队 的交易一样。无论如何,这些优质的选秀资产使他们处于一个有利的位置,可以围绕文班建立一个有竞争力的阵容。

The Spurs hold the best collection of future draft assets

2024 NBA Draft Lottery

ESPN’s Bobby Marks has broken down the Spurs’ future draft capital relative to the league’s other asset-hoarders.

It’s no secret the San Antonio Spurs have been stockpiling future assets. Spurs general manager, Brian Wright, has followed the Oklahoma City Thunder’s model of acquiring as many draft picks as possible while building up its young core. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, San Antonio’s treasure trove of assets is the best in the league.

In a recent piece for ESPN, Marks ranked the five teams that hold 62 first-round draft picks over the next seven years, and 13 of the 30 selections in the 2025 draft: Oklahoma City, San Antonio, the Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets.

Here is a brief reminder of the first-rounders the Spurs own over the next seven years:

  • All seven of their own
  • Two unprotected from Atlanta (2025 and 2027)
  • Top-14 protected from Charlotte (2025)
  • Top-10 protected from Chicago (2025, top-8 protected in 2026 and 2027)
  • Unprotected from Minnesota (2031)
  • Swap rights: Atlanta (2026)
  • Swap rights: Boston (2028, top-1 protected)
  • Swap rights: More favorable of Dallas and Minnesota (top-1 protected) (2030)
  • Swap rights: Sacramento (2031)

Marks was most excited by the quality of the Spurs draft capital. Of course not owing a pick to anyone for the next seven drafts is great, but San Antonio has amassed some highly valued picks as well.

The Atlanta Hawks draft selections in 2025 and 2027 (plus the right to swap in 2026) are among some of the best assets in the league. If another tumultuous season occurs in Atlanta, the Spurs could find themselves with an extra lottery election in a stacked draft. The loss of DeMar DeRozan will hit the Chicago Bulls hard. A bounce-back season from Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic could ensure they stay out of the top 10 in the draft. Charlotte is a wild card, but smart money is on the young team missing the playoffs. There is a world where the Spurs could have 4 first-round picks, but it’s more likely they wind up with two – their own and Atlanta’s.

Of course, what’s great about all these picks is that the Spurs don’t actually need to use all of them. San Antonio could dangle these picks in deals to acquire ready-to-win players to surround Victor Wembanyama. Or, as they did in the 2024 NBA Draft, they could flip a pick for multiple assets down the line, like the deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Either way, these quality draft assets have put themselves in a position to build a contending roster around Wembanyama.
