2024/25 NBA常规赛正如火如荼地进行，对马刺球迷来说，这又是一个充满看点的赛季。虽然相比上赛季的惨淡表现已有明显提升，但球队的状态仍然令人恼火地不稳定。公平地说，考虑到球队阵容中有很多年轻球员以及格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)教练的长期计划，这种情况也在意料之中。
尽管24/25赛季还有很多比赛要打，但一些球迷已经开始展望明年的选秀。如果最优秀的年轻球员能够与像维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)这样的球员在下赛季积累的经验相结合，那么圣安东尼奥的篮球将迎来一个美好的时代。
但是，马刺队可能会在2025年的NBA选秀中选中谁呢？
博彩公司怎么说？
了解马刺队可能在2025年选秀中选中谁的最佳方法之一，就是先看看博彩公司的想法。
现在很多体育博彩公司都提供各种各样的选秀市场，有些已经开始接受关于状元秀或最佳大学球员的去向的赌注。如果您计划自己对即将到来的选秀下注，请务必查看AskGamblers，因为您可以注册一个拥有最具吸引力功能的体育博彩公司。
虽然我们还不知道球队的具体选秀顺序，但博彩公司标记的最热门新秀很可能在马刺队选中他们之前就被其他球队挑走。这意味着像库珀·弗拉格(Cooper Flagg)或艾斯·贝利(Ace Bailey)这样的顶尖大学球员可能无法被马刺队选中——除非马刺队在剩余的常规赛中严重崩盘。
因此，博彩公司列出的排名前五之外的高水平球员可能成为更现实的目标。但这些人会是谁呢？
康·克努佩尔(Kon Knueppel) – 杜克大学
尽管状元热门库珀·弗拉格在杜克大学获得了大部分关注，但他的队友康·克努佩尔无疑是马刺队2025年潜在选秀目标之一。在选秀日，他可能会在第九或第十顺位被选中，这使他成为马刺队一个现实的目标。
克努佩尔身高6英尺7英寸（约2.01米），他的比赛风格似乎是为NBA量身定制的。他不仅凭借出色的投篮能力为杜克大学稳定得分，而且他的挡拆传球也做得很好，并且很少犯错。
他的体型赋予了他应对职业比赛的身体素质，他的外线投篮也很不错。凭借极具潜力的全面表现，克努佩尔将成为马刺队在得分后卫或小前锋位置上的出色补充。
利亚姆·麦克尼利(Liam McNeeley) – 康涅狄格大学
最新的马刺队新闻可能集中在当前的常规赛上，但关于谁可能在2025年选秀中加入球队的讨论正在升温。马刺队仍然需要帮助的一个领域是更稳定的外线进攻威胁。康涅狄格大学的利亚姆·麦克尼利可能是理想的解决方案，而且他应该是一个现实的目标。
体重210磅（约95公斤），身高6英尺7英寸（约2.01米），他的体型可以给对手制造麻烦，并在防守端施加影响。康涅狄格大学的文化也似乎与波波维奇教练在圣安东尼奥建立的文化相似。
这意味着麦克尼利已经准备好融入球队，并几乎可以立即产生影响。选择这名球员可能是一个明智之举，因为他可以为波波维奇教练在进攻端提供更稳定的投篮威胁。麦克尼利最近在对阵冈萨加大学的比赛中砍下27分，这表明他知道篮筐在哪里。
德雷克·鲍威尔(Drake Powell) – 北卡罗来纳大学
另一位可以真正提升球队前锋位置质量的球员是北卡罗来纳大学的德雷克·鲍威尔。选择他将是一次意外的收获，他是一位真正意义上的外线双向球员。他的防守工作最为突出，他拥有出色的敏捷性，可以很好地防守外线。此外，他在攻防转换中的表现可以为马刺队的场上流动性增添额外的活力，并使他们更流畅地攻击对手。
杰里迈亚·菲尔斯(Jeremiah Fears) – 俄克拉荷马大学
尽管马刺队很可能会利用即将到来的选秀来增加前锋位置的选择，但如果他们也这样做来补充后卫，也不要感到惊讶。毕竟，克里斯·保罗不可能永远打下去，这意味着现在可能会引进一名精英级别的球员来学习他的经验。
毫无疑问，菲尔斯在球场上的运动能力和活力将使他对任何NBA球队都很有价值。他还拥有良好的速度和出色的组织能力来执行球队的进攻策略。再加上跳投得分和巧妙的篮下终结能力，你就能明白为什么马刺队可能会认真考虑他。
叶戈尔·杰明(Egor Demin) – 杨百翰大学
控球后卫杰明来自俄罗斯，虽然他现在效力于杨百翰大学，但这让他成为了马刺队擅长发掘的那种国际球员。与杰里迈亚·菲尔斯一样，他肯定会增加波波维奇后卫位置的深度。
虽然他身高6英尺9英寸（约2.06米），但杰明的优势远不止身高。他拥有精湛的传球能力，可以经常找到队友为他们创造机会。他的投篮能力也不差，可以轻松命中三分球。虽然他可能需要稍微加强一下他的职业联赛防守能力，但杰明的潜力巨大，这可能会让马刺队出手抢人。
2025年NBA选秀：马刺队会选择谁？
现在谈论2025年的选秀似乎还为时过早，因为本赛季还有很多比赛要打，而且还不知道球队的选秀顺序。尽管如此，展望哪些顶尖大学球员可以加入并提升马刺队还是值得的。在球队需要更多实力的位置上，肯定有一些现实的目标，看看最终谁会来到圣安东尼奥将会很有趣。

Potential 2025 Draft Picks for the San Antonio Spurs
The 2024/25 NBA regular season is well underway and proving to be another interesting year for Spurs fans. Although there’s been a definite upturn from last year’s blowout, the side is still maddeningly inconsistent. To be fair, this should be expected with a bunch of young players on the roster and the long-term plan coach Gregg Popovich has for the team.
Although there are lots of games to play in 24/25, this has left some fans already looking ahead to next year’s draft. If the best young talent can combine with the extra experience people like Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle have next season, it could be a great time for basketball in San Antonio.
But who might the side pick-up in 2025’s NBA Draft?
What do the bookies say?
One of the best ways to get a feel for who the Spurs might pick in the 2025 Draft is by looking at what the bookmakers think to start with.
Lots of sportsbooks offer a variety of draft markets now and some are already taking wagers on who will be the number one pick or where the best college players might land. If you plan to bet on the upcoming draft yourself, just remember to check out AskGamblers as you are able to register with a sportsbook that has the most appealing features to use.
Although we don’t know exactly the order sides will pick as yet, it’s likely that the hottest prospects as flagged by the bookies could be gone before the Spurs grab them. This means the very best college talent such as Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey might be out of reach – unless there is a serious Spurs collapse during the rest of the regular season.
Due to this, it could instead be high-level talent the bookies list as being outside the top 5 picks which offer more gettable targets. But who might this be?
Kon Knueppel – Duke
Although expected number one pick Cooper Flagg might be getting most of the attention at Duke, his teammate Kon Knueppel is certainly one of the top potential 2025 draft picks for the Spurs. He’s likely to go around the ninth or tenth pick come draft day, and this makes him a realistic prospect for the side to grab.
Knueppel stands at 6 feet 7 inches and has a game which seems tailor made for the NBA. He not only racks up points regularly for Duke with his shot making but passes well off the screen and doesn’t make many mistakes.
His size gives him the raw physicality to cope with the pro game and his perimeter shooting is decent. Knueppel would be a superb addition to the Spurs at shooting guard or small forward with his very promising all-round play.
Liam McNeeley – UConn
The latest Spurs news might be focused on the current slew of regular season games but talk of who might come in the 2025 draft is heating up. One area which the Spurs still need help is more consistent attacking threat in wider positions. UConn’s Liam McNeeley could be the ideal solution and someone who should be a realistic target.
Weighing in at 210 pounds and standing at 6 feet 7 inches, he has the size to cause teams problems and impose himself defensively. The culture around UConn also seems similar to the culture Popovich has built in San Antonio.
This should mean McNeeley is ready-made to slot in and start having an impact almost immediately. Picking up this player could be a smart move in terms of giving coach Popovich more consistent shooting threats in attack. The 27 points McNeeley dropped on Gonzaga recently shows he knows where the basket is.
Drake Powell – North Carolina
Another player who could really add more quality to the team in forward positions is North Carolina’s Drake Powell. He would represent something of a coup and is a genuine two-way player out wide. His defensive work stands out the most and he has the agility to defend the perimeter well. In addition, his plays in transition could add extra spark to the Spurs on-court flow and give them greater fluidity to attack sides with.
Jeremiah Fears – Oklahoma
Although the Spurs may well use the upcoming draft to add more options in the forward positions, don’t be shocked to see them do the same at guard. Chris Paul can’t go on forever after all and this means an elite-level talent might be brought in now to learn from his experience.
There’s no doubt Fears has athleticism and energy around the court which would make him valuable to any NBA team. He also possesses a good turn of speed and great playmaking abilities to execute his side’s offensive strategy. Add in a knack for scoring jumpers plus finishing moves off skillfully in the lane and you can see why the Spurs might be seriously looking at him.
Egor Demin – BYU
Point guard Demin hails from Russia originally and, whilst he plays for BYU currently, this makes him just the sort of international-style talent the Spurs thrive on discovering. As with Jeremiah Fears, he would certainly add more depth to the guard position for Popovich to choose from.
Although he might stand at a gigantic 6 feet 9 inches, Demin is about much more than pure size. He has exquisite passing and can find teammates regularly to create chances for them. He is no slouch when it comes to shooting either and can hit shots from beyond the arc with ease. Although he might need to brush up on his defensive game a little for the pro league, the upside with Demin is huge and this could see the Spurs swoop in.
2025 NBA Draft: Who might the Spurs go for?
It might seem way too early to talk about the upcoming draft in 2025 yet, with so many games left to play in the current season and not knowing which order sides will pick in. Despite this, looking ahead to which top college players could come in and improve the Spurs is worthwhile. There are certainly some realistic targets in positions where the side needs more oomph, and it will be interesting to see who ends up in San Antonio when the smoke has cleared.
