马刺队选中了一位防守悍将，他在亚利桑那大学的三分命中率为37%。
2025年NBA选秀大会乐透区的尾声简直是过山车般的刺激。从第10顺位到第13顺位，发生了三笔交易，各队纷纷调整位置。而圣安东尼奥马刺则选择按兵不动，任由选秀局面按其有利方向发展。最终，他们成功得到了本届选秀中最令人兴奋的防守型侧翼之一。
马刺队在NBA选秀大会上以第14顺位选中了亚利桑那野猫队的大一侧翼球员卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)。布莱恩特身高6英尺8英寸（约2.03米），体重225磅（约102公斤），臂展接近7英尺（约2.13米），是一名摇摆人。他大一赛季作为替补球员场均得到6.5分和4.1个篮板，投篮命中率46%，三分命中率37.1%。布莱恩特在亚利桑那大学的NCAA锦标赛征程中扮演了重要角色，并凭借其兼具防守和投篮的能力，在选秀榜上迅速蹿升。
布莱恩特在防守端是一名悍将。他利用其出色的运动能力（体测数据显示垂直弹跳39英寸、20码折返跑3.14秒、四分之三场地冲刺3.07秒）和积极性，紧盯持球人，并积极抢断传球路线。布莱恩特的抢断率达到2.8%，这本会是马刺队本赛季的最佳数据。他场均贡献1次盖帽，凭借其臂展和运动能力，他将能有效干扰篮下投篮。他拥有足够的身材来防守更大型的球员，甚至能对位强力前锋，同时又不失速度，能跟上快速型侧翼。
尽管他在防守端充满侵略性，但有时也会显得不够严谨。布莱恩特在场均仅19.3分钟的出场时间里，就送出2.3次犯规（大学比赛中5次犯规即罚下）。和大多数年轻球员一样，他需要学习如何进行无球防守，并保持纪律性。随着时间的推移，布莱恩特应该会逐渐适应NBA的比赛节奏，并成为圣安东尼奥马刺队一名有影响力的防守者。在2025-26赛季NBA赛季开始时，布莱恩特将年满19岁，拥有巨大的成长空间。
布莱恩特的进攻方式简洁直接。目前，他是一名纯粹的无球球员，主要凭借及时的空切和接球投篮得分。布莱恩特的接球投篮表现优于66%的球员，接球投篮三分命中率为36.1%，空位接球投篮命中率高达45.5%。他的投篮动作流畅且具有可复制性，随着发展应该会持续进步。他的出手速度略慢，并且我们很少看到他通过大量掩护进行跑位投篮。随着比赛节奏加快，他需要提升自己的脚步和投篮准备。
布莱恩特将为马刺队提供他们急需的侧翼空间点。他也能在面对防守扑防时，通过直线突破攻击篮筐并完成终结。在亚利桑那大学的唯一一个赛季中，布莱恩特在篮下完成了70%的进攻。布莱恩特的终结能力让他完美契合马刺队的组织者，如维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)、迪阿伦·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)。
不要指望他能立刻成为一名自主进攻型球员。他没有太多作为主要持球手的经验，也不是那种你能指望通过运球单打得分的球员，但马刺队很可能也不会要求他承担这样的任务。
布莱恩特与圣安东尼奥马刺队完美契合。他真是布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 喜欢的类型——他为球队带来了另一名能投射三分且懂得无球跑位的全能型防守球员。在选中哈珀之后，马刺队已经不缺组织者了。现在他们需要用那些能终结进攻并投进三分的球员来围绕这些组织者。选择布莱恩特正好实现了这一目标。
有些人可能会对圣安东尼奥马刺队放弃琼·贝林格 (Joan Beringer) 和托马斯·索伯 (Thomas Sorber) 这样的内线球员感到不满，但当你能够得到布莱恩特这样的防守天赋时，你就会毫不犹豫地选择他。他们可以在今年夏天的自由球员市场上补强一名经验丰富的老将内线。
这位新秀侧翼将不得不在竞争激烈的侧翼阵容中努力争取上场时间。他将直接与朱利安·尚帕涅 (Julian Champagnie) 和凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 竞争替补上场时间。不要指望他一开始就能扮演重要角色，但他未来几年有潜力发展成为文班亚马、哈珀、福克斯和卡斯尔身边的3D搭档。

San Antonio picks a perfect fit in Carter Bryant
The Spurs select a defensive menace who shot 37% from three at Arizona.
The end of the lottery in the 2025 NBA Draft was a roller coaster ride. Teams shuffled around as three trades happened from picks 10 to 13. The San Antonio decided to stand pat and let the board fall their way. They were rewarded with one of the most exciting defensive wings in the draft.
The Spurs took Arizona Wildcats freshman wing, Carter Bryant, with the 14th pick in the NBA Draft. Bryant is a 6-foot-8, 225-pound swingman with a near 7-foot wingspan who averaged 6.5 points and 4.1 rebounds off the bench in his freshman season, while shooting 46% from the field and 37.1% from three. Bryant was a big part of Arizona’s NCAA Tournament run and exploded up draft boards with his combination of defense and shooting.
Bryant is a dog defensively. He uses his high-level athleticism (39-inch vertical, 3.14-second 20-yard shuttle, 3.07-second 3⁄4 court sprint at the combine) and motor to hound on-ball defenders and get into the passing lanes for steals. Carter posted a 2.8% steal rate, which would have been the best on the Spurs this season. He averaged 1 block a game, and will be able to contest shots at the rim with his length and athleticism. He’s got the size to guard up the lineup and take on big forwards, and the quickness to keep up with speedy wings.
While he’s aggressive defensively, he is somewhat undisciplined. Bryant averaged 2.3 fouls (5 fouls to foul-out in college) in just 19.3 minutes per game. Like most young players, he will need to learn how to guard off the ball and stay disciplined off it. With time, Bryant should learn the NBA game and be an impactful defender for San Antonio. Bryant will be 19 years old when the 2025-26 NBA season begins, and will have plenty of room to grow.
Bryant has a simple, straight-forward offensive game. He’s strictly an off-ball player right now who makes his hay off timely cuts and catch-and-shoot attempts. Bryant was in the 66th percentile on catch-and-shoot jumpers, shooting 36.1% on C&S threes and hitting 45.5% of his unguarded C&S attempts. He has a smooth, replicable shot that should only improve as he develops. His release is a little slow, and we didn’t see him coming off a lot of screens. He’ll need to work on his footwork and shot prep as the game speeds up.
Bryant will give the Spurs the floor spacer on the wing that they desperately needed. He’s also someone who can attack a closeout on a straight-line drive and finish at the rim. Bryant finished 70% of his attempts at the rim in his sole season at Arizona. Bryant’s play-finishing ability makes him a great fit around the Spurs’ playmakers like Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle.
Don’t expect him to be someone who creates his own offense right away. He didn’t get a lot of reps as a primary ball-handler and isn’t someone you’d count on to go get you a bucket off the bounce, but the Spurs likely won’t ask him to do that.
Bryant is a hand-in-glove fit in San Antonio. He’s such a Brian Wright player – he gives them another versatile defender who can shoot the ball from deep and knows how to play off the ball. After selecting Harper, the Spurs have their fill of playmakers. Now they need to surround them with players who can finish at the cup and knock down threes. The Bryant pick accomplishes that.
Some may quibble with the fact that San Antonio passed on big men like Joan Beringer and Thomas Sorber, but when you can add a defensive talent like Bryant, you take it. They will be able to add a veteran big man in free agency this summer.
The rookie wing will have to earn his minutes in a crowded wing room. He’ll compete directly with Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson for minutes off the bench. Don’t expect him to play a huge role off the bat, but he could develop into a 3&D running mate alongside Wembanyama, Harper, Fox, and Castle for years to come.
