朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 正打出生涯年表现，他是圣安东尼奥马刺队能够打出2016-17赛季以来最佳表现的关键拼图之一，也是队内表现最稳健的角色球员。从2022年的落选秀到新秀赛季被裁，他一路走来，再次证明了马刺球员培养体系的卓越成效。
目前尚帕尼正处于职业生涯的第四个赛季，场均上场时间（27.8分钟）位列全队第五。他作为一名顶级射手的球风可以无缝融入任何体系。不仅如此，他还有更多闪光点：他的投篮中有31.7%是两分球，篮板球保护出色，且在防守端绝非漏洞。别忘了，他还是本赛季球队使用频率最高阵容中的核心成员：由德亚伦·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)、维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和尚帕尼组成的阵容，是全联盟使用频率第16高的组合。
作为一支竞争者球队不可或缺的成员，这足以说明尚帕尼的职业素养。他与首发阵容的无缝契合，让球队能够更好地发挥老将哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 的才华。这一切都引出了一个问题：如果进行选秀重排，尚帕尼会排在第几位？
在进入职业联赛前，他曾被要求评价自己的球风，他当时表示：“我更像是场上的万金油。”他进一步解释道，相比于更倾向于身体对抗打法的哥哥贾斯汀 (Justin)，他更像是一名射手。
他的产出表现与首轮中后段秀相当，这也符合我对重排顺位的预测——如果选秀在今天重来，他将在第17顺位被选中。在同届新秀中，他的三分球命中数排名第三，有效投篮命中率（55.9%）排名第五，得分排名第12，篮板排名第16。除了出色的无球跑动能力外，这些数据让他比同届70%的球员更可靠、更有影响力。
深入研究后可以发现，在次轮秀中，只有安德鲁·内姆哈德 (Andrew Nembhard) 和瑞安·罗林斯 (Ryan Rollins) 的得分能力确定优于尚帕尼。但在本次重排模拟中，他们已被重新排入前7名和前14名，这使得第二轮中没有人的产出能超过尚帕尼。此外，任何能够赢得首发轮换位置的球员，其价值都远超次轮秀。
此外，在获得空间时，他是NBA最致命的射手之一。在“大空位”三分（NBA定义为防守者距离6英尺或更远）中，他的命中率高达47.6%。当然，他身处一个完美的环境：身边有两位顶尖的突破手，以及一位无所不能的战术支柱（文班亚马）。他的很多投篮机会来自于底角/侧翼的传球，或者是进攻篮板后的外传。他在转换进攻中寻找空位的能力也很出色，能通过即兴发挥给对手造成巨大杀伤。在很多方面，尚帕尼就是球队的“安全感来源”。
他的神准射术曾创下队史纪录：在12月31日对阵纽约尼克斯队的比赛中，他单场命中了11记三分球。本赛季只有斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 和特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murphy III) 的单场三分命中数超过了他（12记）。
他的场均出场时间超过了18名2022届的首轮秀，总出场时间排名同届第六。尽管以现代标准来看他参选时年龄偏大（21岁开启职业生涯），但这不应成为他在选秀夜顺位大跌的理由。优质球员成为“漏网之鱼”的情况发生得比预想中更频繁。
尚帕尼的下一步是提高在两人配合中的传球能力。对手现在已经不再对他掉以轻心，因此增加“拆解回传”以防止在手递手配合（DHO）中遭遇包夹，将对他大有裨益。
发掘像他这样的球员并以低廉价格签约，能显著提升球队的薪资灵活性。作为对比，迈阿密热火队在2022年第27顺位选中了尼库拉·约维奇 (Nikola Jović)，并基于潜力与其签下了一份4年6240万美元的提前续约合同。约维奇是2022届在赛前获得新合同的12名球员之一，但遗憾的是，受限于出勤率问题，他目前几乎难以在NBA立足，这也让他的合同暂时变得难以交易。
马刺队在尚帕尼身上则处于完全相反的有利地位。我并不是说马刺在交易截止日前谋划交易，但如果他们想制造一些大动静，对方球队大概率会要求将尚帕尼加入交易方案，因为他的球场产出远超其300万美元的年薪。
他另一项极具价值的技能是为队友掩护。诚然，其中一些是假掩护（ghost screens），但在掩护助攻和掩护助攻得分方面，他仅次于卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 和文班亚马，位列全队第三。这种积极性也延伸到了防守端，他在全联盟前锋防守端地板球回收榜上排名第二。他6英尺10英寸（约2.08米）的臂展不仅能帮他抢回地板球，在干扰对方射手投篮时也极具威胁。
他的未来一片光明，因为他是一名无私且不断突破自我的球员，而且他认为自己还没有达到上限。 感谢Vic-and-Roll播客的诺亚·马加罗-乔治 (Noah Magaro-George) 最早将他与丹尼·格林 (Danny Green) 进行比较，后者是马刺队史上最伟大的狙击手之一。如果尚帕尼在职业生涯首次季后赛中延续出色表现，或者很快出现在三分大赛并夺冠，请不要感到惊讶。

Where Julian Champagnie would go in a 2022 re-draft
Julian Champagnie is having a career year and has been one of the steady role players who have helped the San Antonio Spurs have their best season since 2016-17. He’s come a long way since going undrafted in 2022 and being waived as a rookie, serving as another example of a player development system that works.
He’s in his fourth season, averaging the fifth-most minutes per game on the team (27.8), and his style as a knockdown shooter fits anywhere. Still, he’s more than that as 31.7 percent of his shots are two-pointers, he rebounds well and he is not a liability on defense. Don’t forget that he’s been a key piece of the team’s most-used lineup this season: the one including De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Stephon Castle, Victor Wembanyama and Champagnie, is the 16th most-used lineup in the league.
It says a lot about his basketball character that he’s a necessity on a contender. Being a seamless fit with the starters has made it possible for the team to preserve the talents of veteran Harrison Barnes. This all begs the question, where would Champagnie go in a re-draft?
He was once asked to assess his game before becoming a pro and he said, “I kind of fill roles on the court.” He elaborated a bit, saying he was more of a shooter than his brother Justin, who prefers to play the power game.
His production mirrors that of a mid-to-late first-round pick, which aligns with where I predict he would go if it was redone today, which is 17th. He is third in made 3-pointers, fifth in effective field goal percentage (55.9), 12th in points and 16th in rebounds in his draft class. All of this makes him more reliable and impactful than 70 percent of the picks, aside from him being an excellent mover without the ball.
When examining further, Andrew Nembhard and Ryan Rollins were the only second-rounders chosen that can be definitively taken over Champagnie since they are better scorers. Still, for the purpose of this exercise, they were re-slotted into the top seven and 14, leaving no one in round two more productive than Champagnie. To boot, anyone who has earned a starting rotation spot brings value that it way above a second-rounder.
Moreover, he’s one of the most lethal shooters in the NBA when given space, making 47.6 percent of wide-open 3-point shots, which NBA describes as having six feet or more of space*.* Of course, he’s in the perfect situation being next to two great penetrators and a control tower who does it all, and lots of his shots come from a pass to the corner/wing or one outside following an offensive rebound. He also does a good job of getting open in transition, helping the team with unscripted plays that do lots of damage. In many ways, Champagnie is a security blanket.
His marksmanship set a franchise record, making 11 3-pointers on Dec. 31 against the New York Knicks. Stephen Curry and Trey Murphy III are the only players to have made more in a game this season (12).
He is averaging more minutes than 18 2022 first-rounders and is sixth in total minutes. Even being older by modern standards, debuting his career at age 21, shouldn’t have made him fall so much on draft night. Quality players slipping through the cracks happens more often than it should.
The next step for him is to improve his passing out of a two-man action. He’s not catching opponents by surprise anymore, so adding the slip-back pass to prevent a trap on a dribble handoff would be useful.
Finding players like him, and signing them for the low, can make a significant difference for a team’s flexibility. Just for perspective, the Miami Heat drafted Nikola Jović 27th in 2022 and paid him based on potential with a four-year extension worth $62.4 million. He was one of the 12 players from the 2022 draft who got a new deal before the season and, sadly for them, he’s barely an NBA player with availability issues, making his contract unmovable for now.
The Spurs are in the opposite situation with Champagine. I’m not saying the Spurs were scheming for a trade at the deadline, but if they wanted to make a splash, opposing squads would have presumably demanded that he be included in the deal because his production so much outweighs his $3 million salary.
Another one of the valuable things he does well is screen for his teammates. Granted, some of those are ghost screens, but he is third behind Luke Kornet and Wembanyama in screen assists and screen assist points on the team. This hustle extends to the other side since he is second in the league among forwards in defensive loose balls recovered. His 6’ 10 wingspan helps him track those down as well as when closing out to shooters.
His future is bright because he is an unselfish overachiever, and he thinks he hasn’t reached his ceiling. Credit to Noah Magaro-George of the Vic-and-Roll podcast for comparing him first to Danny Green, one of the best snipers in team history. Don’t be surprised if Champagnie continues his work when he enters his first playoff, or if he is in a 3-point contest soon, and wins it.
