स्पर्स का 2025 ड्राफ्ट ट्रायआउट

शहर में सबसे चुपचाप ड्राफ्ट सूची

मुझे हबली वैनडाइक और ज़ैकोबियर रिसचर के प्रशिक्षण में होने का पता चला—लेकिन, हम, हारप-फ्लैग? हाँ, सचमुच। और हाँ, पहले से ही प्रभावशाली—जिसने मुझे RAPTOR मॉडल को ‘अप्रत्याशित’ कहना पड़ा। लेकिन वह कुछ, मुझे पकड़ने में सफल: कौन प्रशिक्षण में हथियार? 14वें पिक कोई ‘प्रस्तुति’ ? —यह ‘ग़ायब’ होगया। मजबूत-दस्‍तख‍त-मंद-ध्‍य‍ष्‍टि. अब, मुझे समझना होगा: yeh koi rookie mistake nahi hai. yeh San Antonio hai—जो future picks ko expired coupons ki tarah trade kar deta hai. woh ‘surprise’ tabhi karta hai jab plan mein ho. Toh 14वें पिक ke liye tryout kyun nahi?

Absence ka Bhasha

Sach bataun: agar aap top-15 selection ke liye tayyari kar rahe hain aur pre-draft workouts zero hain? Toh ek hi baat samajh aati hai:

Aap use rakhne ki soch rahe nahi hain. Spurs ka silence ek well-timed timeout se zyada loud hota hai. Unka sabse chupcha movi sabse zyada sunai deti hai. Yeh toh Bologna ke playoffs match ke halftime se bhi chup chaap tha. Toh ya to:

• Woh already trade par agree kar chuke hain (aur unhein players test karne ki zaroorat nahi jinke khelna hi nahi)

• Ya opacity ko strategy banaya gaya hai—rumors badha rahe hain jab tak asli target reveal na ho. Koi bhi case ho, message clear hai: 14वाँ spot sacred nahi hai—wo leverage hai.

  Dusre teams ne honest rehna (Spurs ne nahin)

  Pata lagana chahenge ki dusre teams kaise rehte the? Maine har non-first-round team ki draft list ko Hoopshype aur Bleacher Report databases ke saath cross-referenced. sab… honest the. Full rosters visible. Koi rahasya paywalls ya NDAs mein band nahi tha. lakin San Antonio? Their list? Mere patience se bhi chhoti—the one that vanished after watching another overtime loss to Dallas last season. The shortest of all six teams without first-round picks? The Spurs had exactly three names listed—including two rookies still unproven at pro level. Yeh due diligence nahi hai—it’s signal-coding at its finest. Yeh laziness nahi hai. Yeh narrative control ka precision engineering—he hallmark of Gregg Popovich’s ghosted legacy. The less you say, the more people speculate—and speculation creates trading value when you’re ready to pull the trigger.
