最初，这是一次大胆的运作，旨在为马刺从“三巨头时代”过渡铺平道路。
欢迎来到本期讨论。在六月这个选秀月里，我们将聚焦 NBA选秀 。在6月25日2025年NBA选秀到来之际，我们将回顾 马刺 的选秀历史。今天，我们来回顾一下2011年NBA选秀。
问题：凯里·欧文 (Kyrie Irving)、德里克·威廉姆斯 (Derrick Williams)、埃内斯·坎特 (Enes Kanter)、特里斯坦·汤普森 (Tristan Thompson)、约纳斯·瓦兰丘纳斯 (Jonas Valančiūnas)、扬·韦塞利 (Jan Veselý)、比斯马克·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo)、布兰登·奈特 (Brandon Knight)、肯巴·沃克 (Kemba Walker)、吉默·弗雷戴特 (Jimmer Fredette)、克莱·汤普森 (Klay Thompson)、亚历克·伯克斯 (Alec Burks)、马基夫·莫里斯 (Markieff Morris)和马库斯·莫里斯 (Marcus Morris)有什么共同点？
答案是：他们都在科怀·莱昂纳德 (Kawhi Leonard)之前被选中。
尽管科怀·莱昂纳德取得了诸多成就，但如果没有格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich)及其精英教练团队的悉心调教，他可能不会成为两届最佳防守球员、2014年总决赛MVP，也不会在巅峰期持续具备争夺常规赛MVP的能力。
载入马刺队史的是，马刺用波波维奇的心头好乔治·希尔 (George Hill)交换来了圣迭戈州立大学的“阿兹特克人”（即科怀·莱昂纳德），以及戴维斯·贝尔坦斯 (Dāvis Bertāns) 和埃拉泽姆·洛贝克 (Erazem Lorbek) 的选秀权。乍一看，这笔交易似乎是一次大胆的尝试，对马刺而言也颇具牺牲精神。用一个相对默默无闻、三分命中率仅有25%的莱昂纳德，以及两个海外球员的选秀权，去交换乔治·希尔。当时的希尔正逐渐成长为一名合格的首发控卫。但请记住，希尔的合同只剩下一年，而且他根本不可能取代托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker)的首发位置。
仿佛得到莱昂纳德还不够，交易中的另一位球员戴维斯·贝尔坦斯也来到了圣安东尼奥，在那里他成为了板凳席上的三分“刺客”。2019年，他被交易到华盛顿奇才，换来了德马尔·卡罗尔 (DeMarre Carroll)，同时也是为了腾出薪资空间，以一次失败的尝试签下马库斯·莫里斯。（是莫里斯搞砸了，而不是马刺。）贝尔坦斯此后一直在NBA效力，从奇才转战达拉斯独行侠、俄克拉荷马雷霆，再到夏洛特黄蜂。他目前在迪拜打球。
仿佛莱昂纳德和贝尔坦斯还不够，科里·约瑟夫 (Cory Joseph) 才是马刺在第29顺位实际选中的首轮秀。约瑟夫以主动要求下放至奥斯汀公牛队（Austin Toros）进行培养而闻名，这一举动提升了他的比赛能力，也赢得了教练组和球迷的喜爱。他曾多次顶替托尼·帕克担任首发控卫，并在该角色上取得了成功。他随马刺赢得了一次总冠军，随后回到了家乡多伦多。在猛龙效力两个赛季后，他被交易到印第安纳，换取了埃米尔·普雷尔季奇 (Emir Preldžić)的选秀权。此后他相继效力过印第安纳、萨克拉门托、底特律、金州勇士，上赛季在奥兰多魔术度过。
最后，在选秀大会的第59顺位，马刺选中了匈牙利籍摇摆人亚当·汉加 (Ádám Hanga)。汉加自被选中后一直在欧洲联赛效力。他曾多次赢得ACB联赛、西班牙国王杯和西班牙超级杯冠军。他还因其防守能力获得了诸多荣誉——2011年匈牙利联赛最佳防守球员，2017年欧洲联赛最佳防守球员，以及2016年和2017年ACB联赛年度最佳防守球员。遗憾的是，他从未真正在美国站稳脚跟。

Open Thread: In 2011, the Spurs made their most legendary draft day decision
Initially a gutsy move designed to pave the way for the Spurs to transition from the Big 3 Era
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 the 2011 NBA Draft.
Question: What do Kyrie Irving, Derrick Williams, Enes Kanter, Tristan Thompson, Jonas Valančiūnas, Jan Veselý, Bismack Biyombo, Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, Jimmer Fredette, Klay Thompson, Alec Burks, Markieff Morris, and Marcus Morris have in common?
Answer: They were all drafted before Kawhi Leonard.
For all his greatness, Kawhi Leonard may not have become the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, 2014 Finals MVP, or a continual threat for league MVP in his prime without the expert tutelage of Gregg Popovich and his merry band of coaches.
As will go down in Spurs lore, the Spurs traded Pop’s favorite George Hill for the San Diego State Aztec along with draft rights to Dāvis Bertāns andErazem Lorbek. At first glance, this may have appeared to be a long-shot of a trade and quite the sacrifice on the part of the Spurs. A relatively unknown Leonard with 25% 3-point shooting along with a couple of draft rights to overseas players for George Hill. Hill was emerging into the starting point guard he has become. But keep in mind, Hill had one more year on his contract and there was no way he was going to take Tony Parker’s starting position.
As if obtaining Kawhi wasn’t enough, trading mate Dāvis Bertāns made it to San Antonio where be became a three-point assassin off the bench. He was traded in 2019 to the Washington Wizards for DeMarre Carroll while clearing space in a botched attempt to sign Marcus Morris. (Morris botched it up, not the Spurs.) Bertans stayed in the NBA moving from Washington to Dallas, to OKC and then on to Charlotte. he is currently playing in Dubai.
As if Leonard and Bertāns were not enough to obtain from the draft, Cory Joseph was the Spurs actual first round pick at the 29th spot. Joseph is noted for requesting to be sent down to the Austin Toros to develop, a move which enhanced his game and endeared him to coaching staff and fans alike. He stepped in for Tony Parker as the starting point guard at times and found success in the role. He won a championship with the Spurs before moving to his native Toronto. After two seasons with the Raptors he was traded to Indiana for the draft rights of Emir Preldžić. He has since passed through Indiana, Sacramento, Detroit, Golden State, and spent this past season with the Orlando Magic.
And finally, with the 59th pick in the draft, The Spurs chose Hungarian swingman Ádám Hanga, Hanga has continued to play in Europe since the draft. He’s won multiple Liga ACB, Spanish Cup, and Spanish SuperCup championships. He’s also received accolade for defensive prowess — Hungarian League Best Defender 2011, EuroLeague Best Defender in 2017, Liga ACB Defensive Player of the Year in 2016 and 2017, Alas he never quite caught on stateside.
