马刺队宣布，他们已将卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 下放至其G联盟下属的奥斯汀马刺队。这位2025年选秀大会的第14顺位新秀将能够出战周五对阵南湾湖人队的比赛。
现年20岁的布莱恩特，尽管在亚利桑那大学的大一赛季并未扮演核心角色，但仍被马刺队在首轮选中。凭借其出色的运动天赋和在侧翼位置上的身材优势，这位年轻的侧翼球员曾被认为是一个值得培养的潜力股。令人有些意外的是，尽管技术粗糙，尤其是在进攻端，但他在新秀赛季仍一度进入了轮换阵容的边缘。不过，他场均仅获得略多于七分钟的出场时间。在有限的上场时间里，他的投篮效率挣扎，也无法在防守端弥补这一点，导致马刺在他上场时段通常处于输分状态。
尽管在NBA级别的比赛中表现不佳，布莱恩特仍然是一名潜力十足的新秀，在G联盟的锻炼对他来说将大有裨益。他身高6英尺6英寸，臂展6英尺11英寸，并且活力十足，这些特质让他有望成为一名优秀的防守者。他的投篮手感虽然不佳，但投篮姿势看起来并无大碍，而且他在大学时期的三分命中率达到了37%。他显然具备成为一名合格3D侧翼的雏形，而在奥斯汀马刺队获得更多上场时间可以加速他的成长。他需要提升自己的持球基本功才能兑现天赋上限，而在下属球队中获得持球进攻的自由度也将对这方面有所帮助。
目前尚不清楚他会在G联盟效力很长一段时间，还是会在赛程和球队伤病情况允许时被反复召回和下放。近来，杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 的上场时间有所增加，如果这位新秀在下属球队待上一段时间，索汉很可能会填补此前布莱恩特扮演的有限角色——这似乎也是一个明智的决定。
本赛季在NBA，布莱恩特场均出战7.6分钟，贡献2.1分和1.6个篮板。他预计将在周五迎来自己的G联盟首秀。

Spurs assign rookie Carter Bryant to G League affiliate
The Spurs announced they have assigned Carter Bryant to their Austin G League affiliate. The 14th pick in the 2025 draft will be available for the game against the South Bay Lakers on Friday.
Bryant, 20, was selected in the first round by the Spurs despite not playing a starring role in his sole season in Arizona. The young wing was expected to be a worthwhile project due to his athletic tools and positional size at the wing. Somewhat surprisingly, he found himself on the edges of the rotation for stretches as a rookie despite lacking polish, especially on the offensive end, but he only averaged a shade over seven minutes per game. In his limited playing time, he struggled to shoot with any efficiency and couldn’t make up for it on the other end, with the Spurs routinely getting outscored with him on the court.
Despite not producing at the NBA level, Bryant remains an intriguing prospect who could really benefit from some seasoning in the G League. Standing at 6’6, with a 6’11 wingspan and a high motor, he projects to be a plus defender. His shot has not been falling, but his form doesn’t seem broken, and he connected on 37 percent of his three-point attempts in college. The outline of a useful 3-and-D wing is clearly there, and getting more run with the Austin Spurs could accelerate his development. He needs to improve his floor game to reach his ceiling, and having the freedom to try things on the ball in the affiliate should also help in that area.
At this point, it’s unclear whether he’ll have a long stint in the G League or will be recalled and assigned when the schedule and injuries allow. Jeremy Sochan has been getting minutes lately and will likely play the small role Bryant was filling if the rookie stays with the affiliate for a while, which seems like the smart decision.
Bryant is averaging 2.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 7.6 minutes a game this season in the NBA. He’s slated to make his G League debut on Friday.
