Keldon is a good kid. He will thrive in the bench in a heavy scoring role. But he still needs to improve his defense. If he does that he will be a finisher despite coming off the bench.
I tried to tell y’all.

keldon is gonna terrorize some poor bench players at the end of first quarters this year lol
is there any indication that there are plans to play him off the bench?
None other than putting 2+2 together.
If Wemby is dead set on NOT playing Center then that means Wemby/Collins both start. That leaves 3 spots for these 4 players: Tre, Vassell, Keldon and Sochan. Hard to imagine Sochan coming off bench IMO and Vassell seems like a lock to start.
That means Tre or Keldon has to go to bench and I can see an argument from both. I personally would start Vassell, Keldon, Sochan, Wemby, Collins, but I can see a path to Tre replacing Keldon in that lineup if you want more ball handling and don’t think Sochan can handle it well enough in that lineup l
I was with this also….js
That's been my view as well. I'd still like to have Tre coming off the bench too and someone who's more of a 3 point threat at the PG in the SL.
Lowry would be a good fit there for a year and could clear up our logjam of players.
as much as i think keldon's best bet at long term success is a bench role, ive always seen sochan as the obvious candidate to come off the bench for now. he did so at baylor. we would have mostly a 3-man big rotation between collins/wemby/sochan. also makes sense since sochan can handle some ball handling duty as a backup when Tre is sitting
and keldon will space the floor much better than sochan would. wemby needs a lot of room to operate when he's facing up, especially if he's going to constantly use that long spin move
That's nice, but until this team gets a starting caliber PG who can shoot, I still think he starts because it'll be easier to limit the amount of time Jones and Sochan play together.
*Only an issue if Sochan hasn’t improved his 3’s
It’s possible - just have to see. I may argue that Tre doesn’t space the floor better than Sochan but with Sochan you get elite defensive capabilities along with similar play making chops
This clearly isn’t a year SA is trying to “win win” so I think having Sochan start next to Wemby and keep developing as a PG type is the best move personally. But I’m sure it will be a mis-mash of lineups to a degree
He was spotted in the background of the SL training camp putting up some shots during someone's interview, and he was taking his left hand off the ball much sooner, which is the key to a more consistent shot.
Highly unlikely he has to the point where defenses respect him.
Yep it's a quandary for sure. I'm thinking Keldon coming off the bench might be the most impactful move. I think his energy could thrive in that role. I hope Sochan is spending the summer working on his shot, but I'm sure they all are.
I definitely don't think it's hard to see Sochan coming off the bench. I'm imagining a second unit featuring Keldon, Branham and McDermott. That defense would be something else.
Graham/Branham/McDermott/Keldon/Mamu
who says no
I'm sure they don't know what works yet, but going by skillet Keldon would probably fit better as a starter. We'll see.
He's just saying he's open to it, and basically all the good things, not that it's gonna necessarily happen.
I just think Wemby and Sochan need to play as much together as possible. Spurs don’t appear to be ready to have that pair start at the 4 and 5, so only logical the Keldon move to the bench.
I agree in a year you’re trying to be a legit playoff team, but this is still more of a development year so I don’t think 2nd unit defense is a massive concern. I think having Sochan playing and developing, like we saw last year with him being thrust into ball handling duties at times, is going to rank higher in pecking order.
Of course I could be wrong and Sochan goes to bench and that would make sense. But IMVHO, Sochan is starting and it’s Keldon or Tre on the bench.
This never happened. Why do people insist on pushing this made up narrative?
Did you see the word “IF” in there?This never happened. Why do people insist on pushing this made up narrative?
The way you worded that it made it seem like it was something that Wemby said.
What's the point of coming up with a random ass hypothetical like that? It just places the conversation on a false narrative.
i mean, if you think about it, i'd say more than half of ST posts are based upon hypotheticals and conjencture.
The quote by Keldon and how he expressed it is as if it’s writing on the wall… to all the folks saying, “well! There’s no indication this really means anything” people. You don’t really get asked that question if it isn’t the elephant in the room and he had an answer like he’s thought about it already/ been informed of the possibility.
