这是马刺下一次争夺总冠军阵容的最理想，或许有些不切实际的设想。
经过几笔出色的运作，圣安东尼奥马刺队已正式从一支重建中的球队，蜕变为一支充满活力、天赋异禀的年轻核心阵容。NBA各界已经开始期待马刺队在下赛季能够向季后赛发起冲击。即便他们能在21世纪20年代首次闯入季后赛，那时的他们也远未达到完全体。
我们不知道当他们再次准备好争夺NBA总冠军时，这支球队会是什么样子……但我很想做出一个猜测！至少，我想说说那某种程度上相对现实的最佳设想是什么。经过多年的循序渐进发展（因为事情总是这样发展，不是吗？），这便是马刺队下次捧起拉里·奥布莱恩奖杯时的样子。（噢，附注：我只会讨论目前名单上的球员。不允许假设性的引援。）
未来，马刺队将由 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 领衔。你可能会想，这当然，他现在就是领袖。好吧，有时你就是需要陈述显而易见的事实，不是吗？ 文班 在巅峰时期将再长高2英寸，达到7英尺7英寸（约2米31），但马刺队仍会将他登记为7英尺3英寸（约2米21）。他将成为多次MVP和DPOY得主，场均28+分、13+篮板、4+盖帽，投篮命中率达到50/40/90俱乐部。他将是一名具有统治力的核心球员，许多人会认为他是NBA最好的球员。这些都是难以企及的高度，但有趣的是，这似乎并非完全异想天开（除了他的身高，那只是个玩笑）。
马刺队将在轮换阵容中安排三名“后卫”。有时他们会同时在场，有时他们会与其他侧翼和内线球员错开上场时间。这叫阵容灵活性，你听说过吗？
达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 将是球队的主控后卫，在30出头的年纪仍保持着年轻时的速度和活力。他在防守端侵略性十足，善于组织传球，并且比阵容中任何人都更擅长冲击篮筐。他不是一个精准射手，但37%的三分命中率足以让防守者不得不对他严加防范。
迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 将与 福克斯 一同进入首发阵容，为圣安东尼奥带来一位全能型双能卫，达到另一位高大后卫 凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 曾达到的高度。他能轻松冲击禁区，传球出色，并凭借其臂展和力量在防守端构成威胁。他在罗格斯大学展现的定点投篮能力，将无缝衔接到NBA，能够以40%的命中率投进接球就投的三分。他仍然不是一个可靠的急停跳投者，但除了投篮之外，他还有足够多的进攻手段，足以成为一名场均20+的得分手。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 已经摆脱了位置标签，成为NBA中最好的“瑞士军刀”型球员之一。凭借其出色的防守、突破能力和场上领导力，他被拿来与 安德烈·伊戈达拉 (Andre Iguodala) 相提并论。他身手全面，同时三分命中率达到35%，这使得他能够和 文班亚马 一起在首发阵容中出场。噢， 麦克·麦克朗 (Mac McClung) 将从扣篮大赛退役，而 卡斯尔 则将赢得背靠背扣篮大赛冠军，其中一次他甚至完全跳过了现在高达7英尺9英寸（约2米36）的 文班亚马 完成扣篮（他在三段文字里又长高了2英寸）。
首发五人的最后一名是 卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) ，他已进化成为防守端的 科怀·莱昂纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 二世。他不仅是阵容中最好的外线防守者，还是一名稳定的射手、聪明的空切手，并在进攻和防守篮板上拼抢脏活累活。尽管他是联盟中最好的防守球员之一，但他从未赢得过DPOY，因为他的法国队友将所有DPOY奖项都包揽了。
替补阵容也同样充满乐趣。 杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 在NBA以一个令人又爱又恨的强硬球员而闻名，他用自己的滑稽动作让对手感到沮丧，同时给球迷带来欢乐。他仍然不是一个稳定的射手，但他能够投进空位投篮。我知道你们想让我说他会成为 文班亚马 的“约基奇”身边的“ 阿隆·戈登 (Aaron Gordon) ”……但我不会那样说，因为我不想显得太可预测。
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 是联盟中替补席上最令人兴奋的得分爆发点之一。他凭借三分和急停跳投改变比赛走势。 凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 会增重并进入“健美模式”。他变得壮硕无比，并利用这一点冲击篮下，惩罚禁区防守者。他又回到了那个“大身体”的状态。 朱利安·尚帕涅 (Julian Champagnie) 是 丹尼·格林 (Danny Green) 式的球员，总有一天会完成一记震惊全网的隔人暴扣。 卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 将再次开始投射三分，并写出下一部伟大的美国小说。但随后，他又会被 文班亚马 盖过风头，后者会写出下一部伟大的法国小说，讲述一个长到8英尺（约2米44）高的外星人的故事（据称并非真实故事改编）。
这就是马刺队在未来几年内能够达到的一个完全现实的设想（这里我能用一下讽刺字体吗？）
说正经的，马刺队现在拥有NBA中最令人兴奋的核心阵容之一，以及能够确保其长期成功的灵活性。即使他们没有达到不可思议的高度，他们也应该在未来多年里成为一支稳定的季后赛劲旅。

The ideal development for the Spurs young core
The best-case, and perhaps unrealistic, makeup of the next Spurs championship contender.
After a few good moves, the San Antonio Spurs have officially elevated themselves from a rebuilding team to a frisky, young core. Already, the NBA world is expecting the Spurs to leap toward playoff contention next season. Even if they are ready for the franchise’s first playoff berth in the 2020s, they’ll be far from a finished product.
We don’t know what the team will look like by the time they are ready to compete for an NBA title again… but I’d like to make a guess! Well, at least I’d like to say what the somewhat realistic best-case scenario is. After years of linear development (because that’s how it always goes, right?), this is what the Spurs will look like the next time they hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy. (Oh, and PS. I’ll only be covering players on the current roster. No hypothetical acquisitions allowed.)
In the future, the Spurs will be led by Victor Wembanyama. You may be thinking, of course, that’s who leads them now. Sometimes you need to state the obvious, okay? Wemby at his peak will grow another 2 inches to be 7-foot-7, but the Spurs will list him at 7-foot-3. He’ll be a multi-time MVP and DPOY, averaging 28+ points, 13+ rebounds, and 4+ blocks while shooting 50/40/90 splits. He’ll be a dominant, go-to player who many consider to be the best player in the NBA. Those are high marks to reach, but the funny thing is, it doesn’t seem completely far-fetched (besides his height, that was a joke.)
The Spurs will play three “guards” in their rotation. Sometimes they’ll be together, other times they’ll stagger their playing time along other wings and bigs. It’s called roster flexibility. Ever heard of it?
De’Aaron Fox will be the lead guard, maintaining his youthful legs in his early 30s. He’s aggressive at the point of attack defensively, distributes the ball well, and gets to the rim better than anyone else on the roster. He’s not a sharpshooter, but at 37% from three, he’s respectable enough to make defenses guard him from three.
Dylan Harper will join Fox in the starting lineup and give San Antonio a versatile combo guard who reaches the heights previously achieved by another big guard, Cade Cunningham. He’s a walking paint touch, a good passer, and a threat defensively with his length and strength. His spot-up shooting he showed at Rutgers, translates to the NBA, and he’s able to knock down 40% of his C&S threes. He still isn’t a reliable pull-up shooter, but he has enough tools in his bag outside of that shot to be a 20+ point per game scorer.
Stephon Castle has ditched the positional tag and is one of the best Swiss-Army Men in the NBA. He draws comparisons to Andre Iguodala with his stellar defense, slashing ability, and on-court leadership. He does a bit of everything while shooting 35% from three, making him playable in the starting five alongside Wembanyama. Oh, and Mac McClung retires from the dunk contest, and Castle wins back-to-back dunk contests, one of which he wins on a dunk where he jumps completely over Wembanyama, who is now a whopping 7-foot-9 (he grew 2 inches in three paragraphs).
The last member of the starting five is Carter Bryant, who has evolved into the second coming of Kawhi Leonard (defensively). Not only is he the best perimeter defender on the roster, but he is a knock-down shooter, savvy cutter, and does the dirty work on the offensive and defensive glass. Despite being one of the best defenders in the league, he never wins a DPOY as his French teammate hogs them all.
The bench unit is really fun too. Jeremy Sochan is notorious around the NBA as a lovable enforcer who frustrates opponents and brings joy to his fans with his antics. He’s still not a knockdown shooter, but he makes the open ones. I know you want me to say he becomes the Aaron Gordon to Wembanyama’s Jokic… but I’m not going to do that because I don’t want to be too predictable.
Devin Vassell is one of the league’s most exciting flamethrowers off the bench. He swings games with his three-point and pull-up jump shooting. Keldon Johnson gains back a bit of the weight and goes full-bodybuilder mode. He’s absolutely jacked and uses it to get downhill and punish defenders in the paint. He’s back to being the Big Body. Julian Champagnie is a Danny Green type who one day actually does finish a poster slam that breaks the internet. Luke Kornet starts shooting threes again and writes the next great American novel. Only to be one-upped by Wembanyama, who writes the next great French novel about an alien who grows to be 8-foot-tall (supposedly NOT based on a true story).
That’s a totally realistic scenario that the Spurs can hit in the next few years (can I use the sarcasm font here, too?)
In all seriousness, the Spurs now have one of the most exciting cores in the NBA, and the flexibility to make it successful long term. Even if they don’t reach insane heights, they should be a consistent playoff force for many years to come.
