首先，今年 20 歲的 Jayden Quaintance （6-10）本就有在去年能被選的機會，當時是在 Arizona State，但重回 NCAA，選擇轉學至 Kentucky。大一的 Quaintance 就榮獲 Big 12 All-Defensive Team (2025)，是一個防守極強的長人。選秀網給他 Kevon Looney 的模版，但我覺得比較像活塞隊的 Isaiah Stewart，上半身結實，不怕碰撞，大概要擔心的就是情緒和球商問題了。Quaintance 在大一就有 9.4 分、7.9 籃板與 2.6 次阻攻，但在大二時，因傷只打了 4 場比賽，使得選秀順位不斷下滑。
SA Spurs （選了一個寂寞）：Jayden Quaintance 進行半月板手術
Spurs rookie forward Jayden Quaintance underwent surgery to repair meniscus damage in his right knee, the team announced Wednesday. The 19-year-old Quaintance, whom the Spurs selected with the 20th overall pick in last month's NBA draft, came to the club with a history of knee issues.

The Spurs were aware of the looming meniscus procedure when they drafted the 6-foot-9, 253-pound big man. "We do our homework and we've got a great medical team that's very thorough in their analysis and process," general manager Brian Wright said. "We spent time with his representatives going through where he is in his rehabilitation process and what the options are. We got comfortable about what that looks like today and then the long-term prognosis as well." The Spurs provided no specific timetable for Quaintance's recovery.

幸好 Quaintance (首輪，20)年輕，馬刺團隊也願意等他康復，不然，以本屆的長人來說，馬刺錯失了休士頓大學的 Chris Cenac Jr. (首輪 27 ，被塞爾蒂克挑中)、北卡大學的 Henri Veesaar (二輪 52，被老鷹挑中)。當然，馬刺是卯起來選，至少也選了 康乃狄克大學的 Tarris Reed Jr. (首輪，26)與杜克大學的 Maliq Brown(二輪，44)，鐵了心要補禁區人手。
Quaintance 會不會整季報銷呢 ? 以他反覆發生的情況，最擔心的是像 Lonzo Ball 那樣，樂觀一點，Joel Embiid 和 Karl-Anthony Towns 也都能重回球場。
