not true he's able to play both guard positions and would be valuable in a spurs system
Its a make or miss league. Jones and Sochan aren't consistent three point shooters. Playing them together with a streaky Johnson and inconsistent-from-3 Wemby and Collins would be difficult in games which are shoot-outs.
Ideal five - Jones, Vassell, Sochan, Wemby, Collins and Keldon doing sixth man duties marauding through second units.
If Sochan can improve his handle and playmaking skills even more - this can be a possible death lineup - Sochan, Vassell, Johnson, Wemby & Collins and which can close with Jones, Vassell, Johnson, Sochan and Wemby.
The greatest impact of Wemby will be at the defensive end, methinks. But the Spurs need to get at least two players who can fill in at PG and at Center. BW can try prising out Josh Hart from the Knicks who is a very good rebounding and defensive-minded guard. And if the Spurs can bring back Poeltl, that will be gold.

bringing back yak would be the most hilarious/evil thing the spurs could do lmao
I hope the Spurs aren't finished this year trying to improve the current roster so no I don't want that to be the starting lineup.
No, Spurs need a true pg who can run a fast break and get the ball out quickly for transition baskets.
No all the time walk the ball up play.
Celtics are winning the le this year. Brown is going no where.
Toronto will be resigning him.
Maybe we just keep Wemby at the 4 his whole career and he becomes the best power forward of all time ����
don’t need a true PG for that. I think all starting 5 minus collins can collective run a fast break successfully. They are young and fast and can push it and score.
Depending on Jones resigning, I very much see Sochan as a bench player, in the Ginobili, 6-man of the year mold. Jeremy has his head on straight.
Be weird for us to (someday) be able to say "Was Duncan the best PF ever in the NBA? Duncan wasn't even the best PF for the Spurs"
You can't just add Wemby to this crappy roster(2nd worst record in the league) and say we are set.
There still needs to be a shakeup to the roster to add more talent and athleticism.
Playing Sochan at pg because you don't have a good pg is foolish. He's not a pg and should not be considered a starting option there.
The roster does not fit as it is now and the front office needs to figure it out. Everyone should be on the trade block including fan favorite Sochan since the spurs now have their future franchise PF.
Not true. Sochan does not have pg skills, not quick enough or has the dribbling skills to run a team as a pg.
He'll be playing out of his natural position if you try to play him at pg.
there’s a reason why the spurs tried him at PG this past season and I don’t believe he failed at all. In fact, I think he did pretty good for a player that is not known to be a PG. we will see though
Spurs were tanking so it didn't matter if they played him there.
They are already looking to add another pg by some of the players they are bringing in for workouts.
well we would need to move up for that so I hope we don’t overpay but let’s hope it’s all for the better. I trusted the tank and spurs didn’t disappoint
I'll find it difficult to see the Spurs adding some random players who dont have the faintest concept of defense given Popovich's comments at the end of last season, knowing who Popovich is, and now knowing what the Spurs are getting in Wemby.
If anything, a more nuanced attention to defensive detail with who plays may be more important than its been in years.
Poetl is way too old. He'd be in the last year of his contract by the time Wemby and the Spurs are ready to compete for a le.
The main question obviously is what to do with Sohan?
He is the perfect fit next to Wemby, but is it as C/PF combo or with Wemby being the PF while Sohan is more of a Pointforward what even would make it possible to not have a real PG at all?
With just the current players (and it's probably smart to be patient and dont't do a big splash as of now) I'd go with a starting5 of:
Zollins
Wemby
KJ
Vassel
Tre
...with Sohan coming in for Tre if we need size and for Zollins if we are fine. I also see Sohan with more minutes than Zollins or Tre even while coming of the bench. He seems to be a guy that will be ok with it and long term he probably will become a starter when either Zollins changes his role or leaves or we go positionless with him becoming a defacto pointsomething.
Are we talking about the Austin Spurs? Bc Wemby has to pay his dues first. He needs half a season in the GL to learn the system. In January, if he puts in the work, follows directions well, gets over himself a bit, then we can talk about spot up minutes for him in the main roster.
That being said, He is a Center on offense and a PF on defense. Sochan is SF now with Collins being the reverse of Wemby. When you have a generational talent you build around him not the other way around. Sochan needs to learn how to either handle the ball or shoot or he’s gone. KJ needs to play defense or he’s gone. Vassell better be healthy this year
I would sign CP3 and then have Vassell, Sochan, and Collins play alongside Wemby. KJ off the bench or trade
I think this is the first starting lineup we'll see, too, barring any roster changes. I don't think they will move Keldon into the second unit and don't think they'll run pointguard-less.
Brown is unhappy being the second option in Boston. That’s exactly what he would be here.
Not for a while
Jaylen Brown seems like the perfect fit, but seems far less likely than even 14%.
Yeah Brown ain't coming here as far as who starts not a big deal it's more who get the minutes and as far as Sochan he good for our rebuild. My only question is what are the Spurs going to want him to do as far as maybe playing SF more or playing C a little bit more - he is good enough to play C when we going small.
