我们以对球队来说最重要的一轮来结束我们的蛇形选秀。真的是这样吗？
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优秀的贡献者。问题是，他们的天赋池到底有多深？PtR的工作人员开始着手寻找答案。
Jacob Douglas、Jesus Gomez、J.R. Wilco和我参加了一场 蛇形选秀 ，从波波维奇时代马刺队首轮选秀球员中组建球队——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，我们会的——也许我们会用一个更广泛的选秀池再来一次。）选秀池从蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)开始，到斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)结束，共计22名球员，包括选秀夜交易来的科怀·伦纳德(Kawhi Leonard)，但不包括从未为马刺队效力的球员。以下是到目前为止被选中的球员：
Jacob队
- 德章泰·穆雷(Dejounte Murray)，控球后卫（第29顺位，2016年）
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，得分后卫（第4顺位，2024年）
- 凯尔·安德森(Kyle Anderson)，小前锋（第30顺位，2014年）
- 维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，中锋（第1顺位，2023年）
J.R.队
- 科里·约瑟夫(Cory Joseph)，控球后卫（第29顺位，2011年）
- 乔治·希尔(George Hill)，得分后卫（第26顺位，2008年）
- 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）
Marilyn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）
- 朗尼·沃克(Lonnie Walker)，小前锋（第18顺位，2018年）
- 杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)，大前锋（第9顺位，2022年）
Jesus队
- 德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)，得分后卫（第11顺位，2020年）
- 凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)，小前锋（第29顺位，2019年）
- 科怀·伦纳德，大前锋（第15顺位，2011年）
- 伊安·马辛米(Ian Mahinmi)，中锋（第28顺位，2005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）
- 詹姆斯·安德森(James Anderson)，得分后卫（第20顺位，2009年）
- 卢卡·沙马尼奇(Luka Samanic)，大前锋（第19顺位，2019年）
- 约什·普里莫(Josh Primo)，控球后卫（第12顺位，2021年）
- 马拉基·布拉汉姆(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）
我们已经到了本次模拟选秀的最后阶段，现在的问题是用一名最能 complement 或至少不会损害整体阵容的球员来填补最后一个空缺。还有一些有天赋的球员，但我们能找到合适的最后一块拼图吗，还是说现在一切都只是绝望？是时候揭晓答案了！（提醒一下，因为这是一场蛇形选秀，所以选择的顺序与 上一轮 相反。）
- Jacob Douglas：贝诺·尤德里（第28顺位，2004年）
我最后一个选择的唯一目标是获得一些投篮能力。我曾短暂地考虑过詹姆斯·安德森，让他为我们在侧翼提供一些身高，但除了他的新秀赛季，他的三分球投篮并不出色。马拉基·布拉汉姆展现出了一些远距离投篮的能力，但他的防守让我却步。所以我选择了征战了13个赛季的老将贝诺·尤德里，他可以提供空间（职业生涯三分球命中率35%，2007-2008赛季三分球命中率高达39%），并且能够防守控球手。我知道，从技术上讲，我有三名“控球后卫”。我认为德章泰·穆雷是我的主要进攻发起者，尤德里是一名无球射手，他可以偶尔持球，而斯蒂芬·卡斯尔是一名冲击力强、防守出色的侧翼，可以承担第二组织者的角色。
有了尤德里，我的球队就有了五名能够运球、传球、防守和投三分的球员（在大多数情况下）。我真的很喜欢这支球队的多功能性和防守潜力。
- J.R. Wilco：马拉基·布拉汉姆（第20顺位，2022年）
布拉汉姆在第18顺位落到我手里了？我真是太幸运了！
好吧，也许我没有100%认真，但我已经完成了一半多了。我的防守体系已经确定，我的进攻体系也围绕着“石佛”建立起来了，我对第五名球员的要求就是他能够“收拾残局”——当对手的防守集中在阻止邓肯得分时，会有很多机会让布拉汉姆这样的球员可以利用防守球员的失位。在过去的几个赛季里，他已经展现出了自己的闪光点，但只有在一个成熟的体系中，每个人都知道自己的角色，并且没有容易被攻击的漏洞，我才能看到布拉汉姆的蓬勃发展。我所说的“蓬勃发展”是指不要把事情搞砸，因为球队的其他人都知道该怎么做。这支球队是为21世纪20年代的比赛而打造的吗？完全不是。这支球队将在邓肯的巅峰时期围绕他展开比赛：用坚不可摧的内线防守来阻止对手得分，进攻端可能有些老派，但能够进行出色的球权转移，并且效率极高。
- Marilyn Dubinski：卢卡·沙马尼奇（第19顺位，2019年）
好吧，我已经知道我输了，因为我犯了一个错误，那就是先排出了我的后场阵容，尽管在这个选秀池里身高才是最重要的。在这一点上，我能想到的唯一能帮助我的球队的事情就是增加仅剩的一点身高，那就是声名狼藉的卢卡·沙马尼奇。正如Jesus好心地对我指出的那样，他刚刚被费内巴切贝科篮球俱乐部裁掉，以便为另一名前马刺球员腾出位置：凯姆·伯奇(Khem Birch)，而他却没有得到任何上场时间。唉。沙马尼奇似乎有很多尚未开发的潜力，但他缺乏兑现潜力的职业道德。不管怎样，我对“高个子卢卡”的要求就是防守、抢篮板，然后把球传给帕克或怀特，这样他们就可以发动快攻了，因为速度将是我方对抗其他所有球队的唯一优势。这真的太过分了吗？
- Jesus Gomez：布莱克·韦斯利（第24顺位，2022年）
我想郑重声明，我没有（过多地）因为Marilyn选择“高个子卢卡”作为她的中锋而欺负她。在选秀的最后阶段，你只能得到你能得到的，这就是我选择布莱克·韦斯利的原因。他是一名NBA球员吗？如果他的投篮没有进步，就不是。但他只有21岁，而且他拥有惊人的身体素质，这已经体现在防守端了。考虑到科怀、德温和凯尔登的得分能力，我所需要的只是两名防守至上的角色球员，而这正是我完善球队阵容所需要的。如果韦斯利能够更加自律，像马辛米提供篮筐保护那样为我提供出色的对位防守，我相信我的首发五人组可以对抗任何对手。
最后，以下是最终的球队阵容：
Jacob队
- 德章泰·穆雷
- 贝诺·尤德里
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔
- 凯尔·安德森
- 维克托·文班亚马
J.R.队
- 科里·约瑟夫
- 马拉基·布拉汉姆
- 乔治·希尔
- 蒂姆·邓肯
- 蒂亚戈·斯普利特
Marilyn队
- 托尼·帕克
- 德里克·怀特
- 朗尼·沃克
- 卢卡·沙马尼奇
- 杰里米·索汉
Jesus队
- 布莱克·韦斯利
- 德文·瓦塞尔
- 凯尔登·约翰逊
- 科怀·伦纳德
- 伊安·马辛米
所以，为了回答标题中的问题：没有，没有人选择约什·普里莫。另一名落选的球员是詹姆斯·安德森，他带着无限的希望进入联盟，并在为马刺效力的前几场比赛中展现了自己的实力，但不幸的是，仅仅打了六场比赛后，脚伤就毁掉了他的赛季，最终也毁掉了他的职业生涯，因为他之后再也没有恢复到受伤前的水平，并在六个赛季后离开了NBA。
当然，最重要的问题是谁选出了最强的球队？你可以在投票和评论中给出答案，我们再次感谢你在休赛期一直关注我们！我们在这个项目中玩得很开心，明年夏天很可能会再来一次，但会有一个更广泛的选秀范围（这样Marilyn就不会输得太惨了）。距离训练营开始只有一周多的时间了！

Redrafting the Spurs first round picks: Round 5: Will anyone draft Josh Primo?
We conclude our snake draft with the most important round to complete or teams. Or is it?
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)
- Stephon Castle, SG (4th, 2024)
- Kyle Anderson, SF (30th, 2014)
- Victor Wembanyama, C (1st, 2023)
Team J.R.
- Cory Joseph, PG (29th, 2011)
- George Hill, SG (26th, 2008)
- Tim Duncan, PF (1st, 1997)
- Tiago Splitter, C (28th, 2007)
Team Marilyn
- Tony Parker, PG (28th, 2001)
- Derrick White, SG (29th, 2017)
- Lonnie Walker, SF (18th, 2018)
- Jeremy Sochan, PF (9th, 2022)
Team Jesus
- Devin Vassell, SG (11th, 2020)
- Keldon Johnson, SF (29th, 2019)
- Kawhi Leonard, PF (15th, 2011)
- Ian Mahinmi, C (28th, 2005)
And here are the players still waiting to be drafted:
- Beno Udrih, PG (28th, 2004)
- James Anderson, SG (20th, 2009)
- Luka Samanic, PF (19th, 2019)
- Josh Primo, PG (12th, 2021)
- Malaki Branham, SG (20th, 2022)
- Blake Wesley, SG (24th, 2022)
We are down to our final picks of this exercise, and at this point it’s a matter of filling the final slot with a player that either best compliments or at least doesn’t hurt the line-up as a whole. There’s still some talent left, but can we find the right final piece, or is it all just desperation at this point? Time to find out! (Reminder, because this is a snake draft, the order of choosing is the reverse of the previous round.)
17. Jacob Douglas: Beno Udrih (28th, 2004)
My only goal with this final selection was to get a bit of shooting. I briefly considered James Anderson to give us some size on the wing, but he didn’t shoot well from deep outside of his rookie season. Malaki Branham showed signs of deep shooting ability, but his defense turned me away. So I land on the 13-year veteran in Beno Udrih to provide some floor spacing (35% career three-point shooter who hit 39% of his threes in the 2007-2008 season) and the ability to guard ball-handlers. Look, I know I technically have three “point guards.” I view Dejounte Murray as my primary initiator, Udrih as an off-ball shooter who can handle the ball in spurts and Stephon Castle as a slashing, defensive wing that can handle secondary playmaking.
With Udrih in place, I have a team with five players who can dribble, pass, defend and shoot from deep (for the most part.) I really like the team’s versatility and defensive potential.
18. J.R. Wilco: Malaki Branham (20th, 2022)
Branham fell to me at 18? I’m living a charmed life!
Ok, maybe I’m not being 100% serious, but I’m more than halfway there. With my defense set, and my offense established around the Big Fundamental, all I really need with my fifth player is someone who can clean up the scraps — and with the opponent’s defense focused on keeping Duncan from eating them alive, there will be plenty of plays where a guy Branham can take advantage of a recovering defender. He’s shown flashes over the last couple of seasons, but it’s in an established system with everyone knowing their role and no easy holes to attack that I can see Malaki thriving. And by thriving, I mean not messing anything up too bad, because the rest of team knows what to do. Is this team built to play ball in the 2020’s, not at all. This is a squad that’ll play through Tim at the height of his powers: shutting teams down with an interior defense that will rarely give up points, and an offense that might be old-school, but is capable of excellent ball movement and will be incredibly efficient.
19. Marilyn Dubinski: Luka Samanic (19th, 2019)
Well, I already know I’ve lost because I made the mistake of filling out my backcourt first despite size being a premium in this pool. At this point, all I can think to do to help my team is add what little size is left, and that’s the infamous Luka Samanic, who, as Jesus so nicely pointed out to me, just got waived by Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul to make room for none other than a former Spur who saw no time on the floor: Khem Birch. Ugh. Samanic seemingly has plenty of untapped potential but lacks the work ethic to fulfill it. Regardless, all I’m asking of Tall Luka is to defend, grab rebounds and just pass it out to Parker or White so they can initiate a fast break since speed will be my team’s one and only advantage against everyone else. Is that really too much to ask?
20. Jesus Gomez: Blake Wesley (24th, 2022)
I just want to say for the record that I have not bullied Marilyn (too much) for picking Tall Luka as her center. This late in the draft you get what you can get, which is why I picked Blake Wesley. Is he an NBA player? Not if his shot doesn’t improve. But he’s just 21 years old and he has amazing physical tools that have translated on the defensive end. With the scoring I’m getting from Kawhi, Devin and Keldon all I needed were two defensive-minded role players, and that’s what I got to round out my team. If Wesley can be more disciplined and give me great point-of-attack defense in the way Mahinmi can provide rim protection, I’m confident in my starting five against anyone.
And with that, here are the final teams:
Team Jacob
- Dejounte Murray
- Beno Udrih
- Stephon Castle
- Kyle Anderson
- Victor Wembanyama
Team J.R.
- Cory Joseph
- Malaki Branham
- George Hill
- Tim Duncan
- Tiago Splitter
Team Marilyn
- Tony Parker
- Derrick White
- Lonnie Walker
- Luka Samanic
- Jeremy Sochan
Team Jesus
- Blake Wesley
- Devin Vassell
- Keldon Johnson
- Kawhi Leonard
- Ian Mahinmi
So, to answer the question in the headline: no, no one drafted Josh Primo. The other player left out was James Anderson, who came into the league with so much promise, and he looked the part in his first few games with the Spurs, but unfortunately a foot injury after just six games derailed his season and ultimately his career, as he never looked the same after that and was out of the league after six seasons.
But of course, the most important question of all is who drafted the winning team? You can answer in the poll and comments, and once again we thank you for sticking around through another offseason! We had a lot of fun with this project and very well may do it again next summer but with a much wider field (that way Marilyn can’t fail so badly). Training camp is just over a week away!
