赛季中某些时候扮演了一定角色，但总体而言出场时间不多的三人。
欢迎来到Pounding the Rock的2024-25赛季球员回顾！本系列将着眼于那些与圣安东尼奥马刺队结束本赛季并持有保障合同，且出场时间有意义和/或扮演重要角色的球员（因此不包括双向合同球员，因为我们今年几乎没看到他们，也不包括被交易走的球员）。我们也不认为乔丹·麦克劳克林达到了回顾的标准，而这三名球员的出场时间足够涵盖，但不足以单独写一篇文章，因此将他们归为一组。
此外，根据您的反馈，与往季的另一个变化是，球员评分不再来自单个作者（这可能会导致球员之间的不一致），而是每个人都对每个球员进行评分，并在文章中使用累计评分。
请尽情阅读！
比斯马克·比永博(Bismack Biyombo)
2024-25赛季数据：28场比赛，5.1分，5.6个篮板，58.5%投篮命中率
合同状态：完全自由球员
年龄：33
在扎克·科林斯被交易、维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)因伤缺阵后，马刺队缺乏健康的内线球员，他们转向自由球员市场，与老将比斯马克·比永博(Bismack Biyombo)签订了两份10天短合同，之后又签下了赛季剩余时间的合同。他完成了所有被要求的事情：在他参加的28场比赛中首发了26场，收到了一些DNP（未出场）的通知，但在再次被召唤时总是做好准备，并且帮助保护了篮筐（尽其所能），同时在进攻端作为低位接球点提供柔和的手感。他并不总是稳定，但你永远不会怀疑他的努力。
展望未来，比永博(Bismack Biyombo)回归的可能性很可能取决于马刺队在选秀和自由球员市场上所做的事情（以及可能的查尔斯·巴锡）。比永博(Bismack Biyombo)无疑将是下赛季板凳席上一个可靠的第三阵容球员和老将存在，但他不是文班(Wemby)的长期（甚至短期）替补答案。
最终评分：B-
查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)
2024-25赛季数据：36场比赛，4.4分，4.2个篮板，58.1%投篮命中率
合同状态：完全自由球员
年龄：24
健康状况一直不利于巴锡(Charles Bassey)，这已经是连续第三年，伤病困扰了他的膝盖。在他之前的两个赛季因髌骨骨折和前交叉韧带撕裂而提前结束之后，这次他遭受了骨挫伤，只参加了马刺队最后35场比赛中的4场。在此之前，他有机会赢得替补中锋的位置，因为他们放弃了科林斯(Collins)，但和往常一样，不稳定是巴锡(Charles Bassey)比赛的常态。他在一些比赛中看起来很棒并且充满信心，而在另一些比赛中则显得迷茫。不幸的是，他的最新伤病发生在科林斯(Collins)被交易后，以及文班(Wemby)被宣布缺席的两周前，因此他没有获得作为球队唯一健康中锋的首发大好机会，而是同样因伤缺阵。
与比永博(Biyombo)类似，巴锡(Charles Bassey)的未来可能取决于马刺队今年夏天所做的事情。不幸的是，健康状况一直在阻碍他的发展，再加上他上场时的不稳定表现表明，他也可能不是文班(Wemby)的替补答案。如果马刺队让他回来，他仍然可以成为一个可靠的第三阵容球员，但他也可以在自由球员市场上寻求更大的角色。
最终评分：D+
马拉基·布兰纳姆(Malaki Branham)
2024-25赛季数据：47场比赛，5分，2.1次助攻，40.5%三分球命中率
合同状态：剩余1年，496万美元（已执行球队选项）
年龄：22
马拉基·布兰纳姆(Malaki Branham)可能很容易成为本赛季最令人失望的马刺球员（至少在那些与球队一起结束本赛季的球员中），这在很大程度上是因为他是去年唯一失去工作的轮换球员。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)和克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)的加入肯定会让后卫的出场时间更加紧张，但布兰纳姆(Branham)赛季最能说明问题的是，当一切尘埃落定时——特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)离开了，卡斯尔(Castle)和保罗(Paul)都成为了首发——最终是布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)从板凳上获得了出场时间，而不是布兰纳姆(Branham)。虽然他仍然是两人中更好的射手，但他们显然更看重韦斯利(Wesley)的拼搏精神和更全面（尽管有缺陷）的比赛。
马刺队在去年夏天出人意料地执行了布兰纳姆(Branham)和韦斯利(Wesley)的第四年新秀选项（以及杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)的），所以截至目前，布兰纳姆(Branham)下赛季将回归。与此同时，他的合同非常适合交易，并且可能有另一支球队会更看重他在板凳席上的投篮能力。马刺队也可以在不严重影响他们的薪资空间的情况下裁掉他。在这一点上，很难知道我们是否已经看到了布兰纳姆(Branham)作为马刺球员的最后一场比赛，但如果不是，他还有很多工作要做才能在下赛季重返轮换阵容。
最终评分：D
接下来：布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley)

2024-25 Spurs Player Reviews: Bismack Biyombo, Charles Bassey, Malaki Branham
A trio of players who had roles at some point, but overall didn’t play much throughout the season.
Welcome to Pounding the Rock’s 2024-25 player reviews! The series will look at the players who finished the season with the San Antonio Spurs on guaranteed contracts and who played consequential minutes and/or a vital role (so no two-way players because we hardly saw them this year, and no players who were traded away). We also did not feel that Jordan McLaughlin met the threshold for a review, and the three players here played enough to cover but not enough for their own entire article, so they’re clumped together.
Also, based on your feedback, another change from prior seasons is instead of player grades coming from the individual writer (which can create inconsistency from player to player), everyone graded every player, and the cumulative grade was used in the article.
Enjoy!
Bismack Biyombo
2024-25 stats: 28 games, 5.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 58.5 FG%
Contract status: unrestricted free agent
Age: 33
With the Spurs bereft of healthy centers following the trade of Zach Collins and loss of Victor Wembanyama and Charles Bassey to injury, they turned to the free agency market and signed veteran big man Bismack Biyombo to two 10-day contracts before signing him for the remainder of the season. He did everything that was asked of him: he started in 26 of the 28 games he played in, received a few DNP’s but was always ready when called upon again, and he helped protect the rim (to the best of his abilities) while providing a soft touch as a relief outlet down low on offense. He wasn’t always consistent, but you could never doubt his effort.
Looking ahead, Biyombo’s chances of returning will likely depend on what the Spurs do with the draft and free agency (and possibly Charles Bassey). Biyombo would certainly be a solid third stringer and veteran presence on the bench next season, but he is not the long-term (or even short-term) answer as Wemby’s backup.
Final Grade: B-
Charles Bassey
2024-25 stats: 36 games, 4.4 points. 4.2 rebounds, 58.1 FG%
Contract status: unrestricted free agent
Age: 24
Health has not been on Bassey’s side, and for the third year in a row, the injury bug stung him in the knee. After his previous two seasons were ended prematurely by a fractured patella and torn ACL, this time he suffered a bone bruise and only participated in four of the Spurs’ final 35 games. Before that, he had his chances to earn the backup center position as they moved away from Collins, but per usual, inconsistency was the game of the game for Bassey. He looked great and confident in some games, and he looked lost in others. Unfortunately, his latest injury occurred right when Collins was traded and two weeks before Wemby was ruled out, so instead of getting his big chance to start as the team’s only healthy center, he too was lost to injury.
Similar to Biyombo, Bassey’s future may depend on what the Spurs do this summer. Unfortunately, health keeps getting in the way of his development, and that along with inconsistency when he has played shows he also may not be the answer as Wemby’s backup. He could still be a reliable third stringer if the Spurs bring him back, but he could also seek a bigger role elsewhere in free agency.
Final Grade: D+
Malaki Branham
2024-25 stats: 47 games, 5 points, 2.1 assists, 40.5 3P%
Contract status: 1 year, $4.96 mil remaining (team option picked up)
Age: 22
Malaki Branham may have easily been the most disappointing Spur this season (at least among those who finished the season with the team), in no small part because he was the only rotation player from last year who lost his job. The additions of Stephon Castle and Chris Paul were always going to make guard minutes harder to come by, but the most telling thing about about Branham’s season was when all the dust settled — Tre Jones was gone and Castle and Paul were both starting — it ended up being Blake Wesley who got minutes off the bench, not Branham. While he’s is still the better shooter of the two, they clearly valued Wesley’s hustle and more well-rounded (albeit flawed) game more.
The Spurs somewhat surprisingly picked up both Branham and Wesley’s fourth year rookie options last summer (along with Jeremy Sochan’s), so as of now, Branham will be back next season. At the same time, his contract is very tradeable, and there could be another team out there that would value his shooting off the bench more. The Spurs could also waive him without their cap space taking a big hit. At this point, it’s hard to know if we’ve seen Branham in his final game as a Spur, but if not, he has a lot of work to do to get back into the rotation next season.
Final Grade: D
Up next: Blake Wesley
