在经历沉寂的2003年后，马刺队更加积极
欢迎来到本帖。在六月份，我们讨论NBA选秀。在6月25日举行的2025年NBA选秀大会之前，我们将回顾马刺队的选秀选择。今天我们回顾2004年NBA选秀。
虽然马刺队在2003年NBA选秀中没有选择任何球员，但他们在2004年选了四名球员，弥补了选秀权的不足。
首先，马刺队用第28顺位选择了贝诺·尤德里 (Beno Udrih)。他在马刺队度过了他的前三个NBA赛季，并在2005年和2007年赢得了两次NBA总冠军。他一直活跃在NBA，直到2017-2018赛季前往立陶宛。2020年，他转型为教练。他目前是密尔沃基雄鹿队G联赛附属球队威斯康星鹿群队的主教练。
同样在2003年，马刺队在选秀日从亚特兰大老鹰队获得了维克多·萨尼基泽 (Viktor Sanikidze)的选秀权，以换取2005年的二轮选秀权和现金。马刺队保留了他的选秀权直到他的职业生涯结束，但他从未在这个半球打过球。
罗曼·萨托 (Romain Sato)是用第52顺位选中的，该选秀权是马刺队在1999年将戈丹·吉里切克 (Gordan Giriček)的选秀权交易到孟菲斯时从孟菲斯灰熊队获得的。萨托随后在交易截止日附近被马刺队放弃。他从未参加过NBA比赛，但在海外取得了成功。
马刺队用他们的第57顺位选择了俄罗斯人谢尔盖·卡劳洛夫 (Sergei Karaulov)。他从未为马刺队效力，但在海外打了近二十年。
所以，四名外籍球员被选中。不幸的是，球队并没有太多作为。

Open Thread: Four foreign born draft picks caught the attention of the Spurs in 2004
The Spurs were more involved after a quiet 2003
Welcome to the thread. During the month of June, we are talking NBA Draft. As we lead up to the 2025 NBA Draft on June 25th, we will be revisiting the Spurs draft choices. Today we remember 2004 NBA Draft.
While the Spurs took a pass on the 2003 NBA Draft, they made up for the lack of picks by taking four players in 2004.
For starters, the Spurs chose Beno Udrih with their 28th pick. He played his first three NBA season with the Spurs winning two NBA Championships in 2005 and 2007. He stayed active in the NBA until the 2017-2018 season when he went to Lithuania. In 2020, he transitioned into coaching. He’s currently the head coach of the Wisconsin Herd, G-League affiliate to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Also in 2003, the Spurs picked up the draft rights to Viktor Sanikidze on draft day from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for 2005 second-round draft pick and cash considerations. The Spurs retained his rights throughout his career, but he never played on this side of the ocean.
Romain Sato was drafted using a 52nd pick that was acquired from the Memphis Grizzlies when the Spurs traded the draft rights to Gordan Giriček to Memphis in 1999. Sato was subsequently waived by the Spurs near the trade deadline. He has never suited up or played an NBA game but found success overseas.
The Spurs used their number 57 pick to draft Russian Sergei Karaulov. He never played with the Spurs, but played nearly two decades overseas.
So, four foreign born players were drafted. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of activity in the organization.
