I think he’s a Ben Simmons with the outside shot. I mean Simmons is a better playmaker but who knows. Pop is already excited with Jeremy, “the sky is the limit” with that kid. “He’s so tall he sees everybody.” I hate to say comp to Magic, but that would be the ultimate, a 6’8” leading the fastbreak. Tre mentioned about 1-4 and even 5 pushing the ball. We’ll see Sochan playing a lot of Point Forward. Pop excited to play position-less basketball, with a lot of running/passing, then dump to Wemby when plays slow down and towards half of the season.

concerning imo that a 19-20 year old has to miss that kind of time with a generic "sore knee" and not some specific injury
you’re assuming there is even any soreness and not just the spurs sitting him to see how some of the other guys look before the season

they should be seeing how he looks before the season. hes not some 11 year vet where everyone knows what to expect from him
This isn't a thing that happens.
cannot wait to see him play ... hopefully Wemby plays as well
They aren't doing as you think they should. What does that have to do with what they are actually doing?
uhh... nothing?
if i just wanted to know what the team was doing and not share my thoughts, i would simply not visit a forum and instead just read articles about them.

just as long as you understand that he is not hurt.
that would be worse if they sat him when he wasn’t hurt
where are you getting that info from though?

That’s tanking 101. Do you really think Dame was hurt last year? And that he wasn’t ready to return after the ASG the year before?
why did we tank the first preseason game?
Because the game didn't matter at all. It was more important to get a good look at all players on the roster against NBA compe ion than to win the game. If they wanted to win they would not have closed with that end of the bench lineup and no Wemby.
would have been a good reason for sochan to play
Guys, teams don't hold out players just to look at other players. A preseason game is 48 minutes and everyone needs to get up to game speed. There's plenty of time to look at various lineups.
oh i agree.
i do think sochan had some legitimate soreness which caused him to be held out. but given that was also the stated reason for him being shelved at the end of last year, i did express some concern that someone as young as him is having this kind of extended "soreness" without a specific acute injury.
but when people started saying that he's not really hurt, he was just held out to see other players... im guilty of trying to go down that ridiculous rabbit hole to prove just how pointless/dumb a decision that would be
tbh i like sochan but i didnt see this coming
KJ and Sochan were both hurt out of the blue at the same time?
I will grant that it is possible that both are actually hurt but Pop games the injury list as a matter of course and he cannot DNP anymore without cause.
ok so innuendo, not info
pop literally DNP'd Collins and McDermott today and said outright they are healthy scratches during his presser
If you want to take Popovich's injury reports at face value then go ahead.
ok nbadan
to be clear, you are affirmatively making the claim that sochan wasnt actually hurt, and your evidence is that it is weird that we had 2 players not suit up due to injury, and also that pop is a liar
This is not out of nowhere. Popovich used to put plantar fasciitis or other bull to keep extra players on the roster. League responded by making the inactive spots and then it evolved from there.
Now today both are miraculously ready to play and the 5 on the other side of the Wemby dichotomy is DNP. Worry about Sochan's knee if you like.
keldon isnt playing
