勇士簽下心儀已久27歲射手 他是「大學史上最佳」袋棍球巨星

Pat Spencer, one of the greatest college lacrosse players ever, today signed a two way NBA contract with Golden State. In his lacrosse career he was #1 all time in assists, #2 all time in points to Lyle Thompson. His brother Cam, is a star guard on #1 UCONN. Cool story. https://t.co/Uv0FQ5uxHr

勇士今(22)日以雙向合約簽下27歲射手斯賓塞(Pat Spencer)，他本季在G聯盟替聖塔克魯茲勇士出賽18場，場均能砍15.1分、5.9籃板和4.4助攻。值得一提的是，斯賓塞就讀馬里蘭洛約拉大學時，曾是一名袋棍球巨星，被公認為大學史上最偉大的袋棍球選手之一。

Pat Spencer officially back on the SeaDubs roster. Finally getting healthy. Has had wrist surgery and hip surgery in the last year. Before the injuries, he was really close to snagging a two-way spot with the Warriors.

斯賓塞是2020年落選新秀，生涯至今還未正式登上NBA賽場，他這3個賽季都在G聯盟打球，2021-22賽季效力於巫師旗下的G聯盟隊伍「首都Go-Go」；近2季則披上聖塔克魯茲的戰袍，本季出賽18場比賽，有2場先發，繳出場均15.1分、5.9籃板和4.4助攻，整體命中率達到49.5%，三分球命中率43.1%。

灣區主播杜馬斯(Jason Dumas)表示，勇士「心儀」斯賓塞已有好一段時間，但他近2年飽受傷病纏身，過去一年還動了手腕和髖部手術。

Pat Spencer was a lacrosse legend and still holds the NCAA DI record for career assists. He won the Tewaaraton Award, which is like the Heisman for college lacrosse.

值得一提的是，斯賓塞曾是馬里蘭洛約拉大學的袋棍球巨星，甚至被公認為大學史上最偉大的袋棍球選手之一。他大學4年總計貢獻了380分(149球、231助攻)，至今仍是NCAA一級歷史助攻榜紀錄保持人，得分也高居史上第2。他在2019年美國超級袋棍球聯盟選秀中成為狀元，但他最終選擇了籃球。

袋棍球又稱長曲棍球，是一種使用頂端具有網狀袋子的長棍作為持球工具的團隊球類運動。

斯賓塞如今與後衛羅賓森(Jerome Robinson)和前鋒桑托斯(Gui Santos)一起加入勇士名單，成為3名領雙向合約的球員之一。
