这是50多年来第二次发生
在漫长而辉煌的NBA历史中，一支球队连续两个赛季获得年度最佳新秀的殊荣，此前仅发生过五次……直到今年。
昨天，马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)荣获2025年年度最佳新秀奖。这是马刺队连续第二年选中该奖项的得主。
第一次是在1961-62赛季，沃特·贝拉米(Water Bellamy)作为状元秀加盟芝加哥包装工队。他后来被评为年度最佳新秀。接下来的赛季，特里·迪辛格(Terry Dischinger)被评为1962-63赛季年度最佳新秀。迪辛格是芝加哥西风队在第二轮选中的。西风队与包装工队是同一支球队，只是更名了。
芝加哥西风队在1963年更名为巴尔的摩子弹队，并再次实现了背靠背的年度最佳新秀。
在1967-1968赛季，榜眼秀厄尔·门罗(Earl Monroe)获得了这一荣誉，随后在1968-1969赛季，同样是榜眼秀的韦斯·昂塞尔德(Wes Unseld)也获得了该荣誉。
两年后，1970年波特兰开拓者队的第八顺位选秀杰夫·佩特里(Geoff Petrie)与戴夫·考恩斯(Dave Cowens)分享了年度最佳新秀的荣誉。次年，1971-72赛季的榜眼秀西德尼·威克斯(Sidney Wicks)与佩特里联手，获得了年度最佳新秀的荣誉。
接下来的赛季，1972-1973赛季，布法罗勇敢者队在第二顺位选中了鲍勃·麦卡杜(Bob McAdoo)，他赢得了最佳新秀奖。第二年，他们用第三顺位选中了厄尼·迪格雷戈里奥(Ernie DiGregorio)，他也紧随其后获得了年度最佳新秀的荣誉。
在十二年里，球队连续两年四次创造了奇迹。但自1973年以来，这种情况只发生过一次。
2014年，明尼苏达森林狼队用状元签选择了安德鲁·威金斯(Andrew Wiggins)。2015年，他被评为年度最佳新秀。接下来的赛季，明尼苏达队用状元签选择了卡尔-安东尼·唐斯(Karl-Anthony Towns)，他也获得了年度最佳新秀的奖项。
2023年，圣安东尼奥马刺队选中了维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)，他以全票当选年度最佳新秀。
昨天，2024年NBA选秀的第四顺位新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔被评为今年的NBA年度最佳新秀，这使他和 文班 成为第六对来自同一支球队的背靠背年度最佳新秀组合。
让我们为51区欢呼吧！

Open Thread: Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle join five other pairs of teammates who earned back-to-back Rookie of The Year honors
It’s only the second time in over 50 years
In the long and storied history of the NBA, only five times has a team nabbed the Rookie of the Year in back-to-back seasons…until this year.
Yesterday, Spurs guard Stephon Castle won the 2025 ROTY award. This is the second year in a row the Spurs have drafted the winner of the award.
The first time involved Water Bellamy, who went to the Chicago Packers as the number one overall pick of 1961-62. He went on to be named ROTY. The next season Terry Dischinger was named the 1962-63 ROTY. Dischinger was the second round pick by the Chicago Zephyrs. The Zephyrs were the same team as the Packers but had undergone a name change.
Chicago Zephyrs became the Baltimore Bullets in 1963 and pulled off back-to-back Rookies of the Year again.
In 1967-1968, Earl Monroe who was drafted second overall received the honors followed in 1968-1969 with Wes Unseld, also the league’s second overall pick.
Two years later, Geoff Petrie, the Portland Trail Blazers’s eighth overall pick of 1970 shared the ROTY honors with Dave Cowens. The next year, Sidney Wicks, the second overall pick of the 1971-72 season joined forces with Petrie when he commanded the ROTY honors.
The following season, 1972-1973, the Buffalo Braves drafted Bob McAdoo second overall who won the Rookie award. The next year they landed Ernie DiGregorio with the third pick and he followed suit with the ROTY honors.
Four times in a dozen years, teams pulled rabbits out of their hats in consecutive years. But since 1973, it had only happened one time.
In 2014, the Minnesota Timberwolves picked Andrew Wiggins with the number one spot in the draft. In 2015, he was named Rookie of the Year. The following season Minnesota drafted Karl-Anthony Towns with the number one pick and he also earned the ROTY hardware.
In 2023, the San Antonio Spurs drafted Victor Wembanyama, the unanimous Rookie of the Year.
And yesterday, Stephon Castle, the fourth pick in the 2024 NBA Draft was named this year’s NBA Rookie of The Year, making he and Wemby the sixth pair of back-to-back rookies from the same team to acquire the honors.
Let’s hear it for Area 51.
