两名快速进出联盟的被选球员
欢迎来到本期讨论。在六月这个月里，我们将畅谈 NBA选秀 。随着6月25日2025年NBA选秀的临近，我们将回顾 马刺 的选秀选择。今天，我们一起来回顾2018年NBA选秀。
马刺队通过选秀选中了小朗尼·沃克四世 (Lonnie Walker IV)，开启了他们的2018年征程，他是一名天生自带“马刺风骨”的球员。这位前迈阿密大学飓风队球员迅速投身到他在圣安东尼奥新家乡的社区服务中。2019年12月3日，他在一场以135-133双加时战胜 休斯顿火箭 的比赛中迎来爆发，砍下28分，并贡献4个篮板、3次抢断和1次盖帽。
沃克四世于2022年与马刺队的合同到期，并以自由球员身份加盟 洛杉矶湖人 。在湖人效力一年后，又转投 布鲁克林篮网 一年。他与 凯尔特人 签下了一年合同，随后被裁。随后，他转战立陶宛篮球联赛和欧洲篮球联赛的扎尔吉里斯考纳斯队，并于2025年2月16日随队夺得明道加斯国王杯。三天后，他重返NBA，加盟 费城76人 。
马刺队还在选秀大会上用第49顺位选中了齐梅齐耶·梅图 (Chimezie Metu)。
梅图在马刺效力两年后被裁。他随后为萨克拉门托国王队效力了三个赛季，接着在一个赛季里辗转于菲尼克斯和底特律之间。自2024年以来，他一直在 巴塞罗那足球俱乐部 效力。

Open Thread: The 2018 draft brought a Spursy shooting guard and a Nigerian-American big man
Two draftees who were in and out at a rapid pace
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 2018 NBA Draft.
The Spurs kicked off their 2018 campaign by drafting Lonnie Walker IV, a Spurs Way player right out of the box. The Miami Hurricane jumped into community service in his new San Antonio hometown. He had his breakout game on December 3, 2019, scoring 28 points, grabbing four rebounds, three steals and a block in a 135–133 double overtime win over the Houston Rockets.
Walker IV finished his contract with the Spurs in 2022 and joined the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency. One your with the Lakers, one with the Brooklyn Nets. He signed a year with the Celtics before being waived. Instead he joined Žalgiris Kaunas of the Lithuanian Basketball League and the EuroLeague, winning the King Mindaugas Cup on February 16, 2025. Three days later he returned to the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Spurs also chose Chimezie Metu with the 49th pick of the draft.
Metu spent two years with the Spurs before being waived. He joined the Sacramento Kings for three seasons, followed by a season split between Phoenix and Detroit. Since 2024, he has played with FC Barcelona.
