马刺队在科罗拉多州淘到了一块被忽视的瑰宝。
欢迎来到本期讨论。在六月，我们将重点讨论 NBA选秀 。随着6月25日2025年NBA选秀的临近，我们将重温 马刺队 的历年选秀。今天，我们回顾2017年NBA选秀。
在蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 退役后的首个赛季，马刺队取得了61胜21负的战绩，这让他们获得了当年的第29位和第59位选秀权。秉承他们一贯的“选秀淘宝”风格，马刺队的管理层 (PATFO) 选择了德里克·怀特，他是当年选秀中首位被选中的大四球员。这位来自被忽视的科罗拉多大学的球员展现出了多才多艺的特点，他既能胜任两个后卫位置，又具备稳定的三分投射能力。
我喜欢这张照片。网上有一段视频，记录了德里克·怀特 (Derrick White) 在被选中后接听格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 电话的场景。你可以从中看到并听到他那一刻难以置信的惊喜，以及得知自己将加入一支伟大球队的自豪。
在他的新秀赛季，怀特在AT&T中心获得了少量上场时间，但他随发展联盟附属球队表现出色，展现出未来有望成为一名全职NBA球员的潜力。
怀特在场上是球队的重要贡献者，在场下则是一位热爱社区的成员。他多次代表马刺队出席活动，并乐于参与其中。我最喜欢的一次是，他帮助一所小学庆祝赢得了*“Whataburger 你在读什么”*比赛。他戴上了面具，并在活动结束后与孩子们一起玩耍。
令马刺球迷遗憾的是，怀特于2022年2月11日被交易至波士顿凯尔特人队。这次交易对怀特来说是个好结果，因为他去年随凯尔特人队赢得了一枚NBA总冠军戒指。
那么马刺队得到了什么回报呢？
德里克·怀特 (Derrick White) 被交易到波士顿凯尔特人队，换来了：(a) 约什·理查德森 (Josh Richardson)，(b) 罗密欧·兰福德 (Romeo Langford)，(c) 最终选中布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley) 的2022年首轮选秀权，以及 (d) 2028年首轮选秀权互换权。
让我们逐项分析这笔交易。
交易至今——
(a) 约什·理查德森 (Josh Richardson) 于2023年2月9日被交易至新奥尔良鹈鹕队，这笔交易带来了：
- 德文特’·格拉汉姆 (Devonte’ Graham)，他最终于2024年7月6日被连同2025年次轮选秀权（来自新奥尔良）一起交易至夏洛特黄蜂队，换取现金。
- 2024年次轮选秀权 [该选秀权于2023年7月12日在一笔三方交易中送至波士顿，该交易将雷吉·布洛克 (Reggie Bullock) 送至马刺队（他随后被裁掉），并让马刺获得了与达拉斯互换2030年首轮选秀权的权利。]
- 2026年次轮选秀权（无保护）
- 2028年次轮选秀权（无保护）
- 2029年次轮选秀权（无保护）
(b) 罗密欧·兰福德 (Romeo Langford) 在马刺队打完了那个赛季，随后与犹他爵士队签约。
(c) 布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley) 刚刚完成了他四年合同的第三年。
(d) 仍然持有与波士顿的2028年首轮选秀权互换权利。
因此，这笔交易的最新版本是马刺队送走了德里克·怀特 (Derrick White)，并获得了布雷克·韦斯利 (Blake Wesley)、2028年和2030年首轮签互换权，以及三个次轮选秀权（2026年、2028年、2029年）。
这笔交易带来了大量的筹码以供未来运作。
在次轮选秀中，马刺队用第59顺位选中了贾隆·布洛瑟姆盖姆 (Jaron Blossomgame)。这位来自克莱姆森大学的前锋在夏季联赛中为马刺效力后，与奥斯汀马刺队签约。在布雷克·埃亨 (Blake Ahern) 的带领下，布洛瑟姆盖姆与德里克·怀特 (Derrick White)、达伦·希利亚德、马特·科斯特洛和奥利维耶·汉兰一同夺得了2018年发展联盟总冠军。
他先后效力于发展联盟的坎顿冲锋队、里奥格兰德河谷毒蛇队和风城公牛队，随后前往海外联赛，并于2023年和2024年随摩纳哥篮球俱乐部 (AS Monaco) 连续两年夺得法甲联赛冠军。

Open Thread: The 2017 NBA Draft brought Derrick White to the Silver & Black
The Spurs found an overlooked gem while mining in Colorado
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 2017 NBA Draft.
After coming off the first season without Tim Duncan, the Spurs sported a 61-21 record which landed them the 29th and 59th spots. In typical “steal of the draft” style, PATFO chose Derrick White, the first senior of the draft. The overlooked University of Colorado product offered versatility, the ability to play either guard position, and a solid 3-point shot.
I love the photo. There is a video out there of Derrick taking the phone call from Pop right after being drafted. You can see and hear his overwhelmed astonishment of the moment and his pride in knowing he was going to a great team.
In his rookie season, White got some minor time at the AT&T Center, he flourished with the G-League affiliate showing the kind of promise that might bring him into the NBA full time.
White was a strong contributor on the court and a fun-loving community member off the court. He made many appearances on behalf of the Spurs and was a willing participant. My favorite was when he helped an elementary school celebrate winning the Whataburger Whatcha Reading contest. He donned a mask and stuck around after the festivities to hang out with the kids.
Unfortunately for Spurs fans, White was traded to the Boston Celtics on February 11, 2022. It worked out well for White as he picked up an NBA Championship ring last year with the Celtics.
What did the Spurs get in return?
Derrick White was traded to the Boston Celtics for (a) Josh Richardson, (b) Romeo Langford, (c) the 2022 first-round pick that materialized into Blake Wesley, and (d) the rights to swap 2028 first-round picks.
Let’s break this down piece by piece.
Since the trade-
(a) Josh Richardson was traded on February 9, 2023 to the New Orleans Pelicans which yielded:
- Devonte’ Graham, eventually traded July 6, 2024 to Charlotte Hornets with 2025 second-round pick (via New Orleans) in exchange for cash considerations.
- 2024 second-round pick [went to Boston on July 12, 2023 in a three-team trade that sent Reggie Bullock to the Spurs (he was waived) and the right to swap 2030 first-round picks with Dallas.]
- 2026 second-round pick (no protections)
- 2028 second-round pick (no protections)
- 2029 second-round pick (no protections)
(b) Romeo Langford finished the season with the Spurs and then signed with the Utah Jazz.
(c) Blake Wesley just finished the third year of his four-year contract.
(d) Still own 2028 first-round draft swap rights with Boston.
So the updated version of the trade sent Derrick White and netted Blake Wesley, 2028 and 2030 first-round swaps, and three second-round picks (2026, 2028, 2029).
Lots of collateral for wheeling and dealing.
In the second round the Spurs took Jaron Blossomgame with the 59th pick of the draft. The Clemson forward joined the Spurs in Summer League before signing on with the Austin Spurs. Under Blake Ahern, Blossomgame succeeded in capturing the 2018 G-League Championship along with Derrick White, Darrun Hilliard, Matt Costello, and Olivier Hanlan.
He made a career through the G-League playing with the Canton Charge, Rio Grande Valley Vipers, and Windy City Bulls before heading overseas where he won back-to-back LNB Pro A championships in 2023 and 2024 with AS Monoco.
