I have no hope for Sochan. Hopefully we can package him and Keldon for someone we need. Both those two can go. And no I'm not cliff jumping, I just don't rate those 2 and find Keldon is just flat out annoying with his non stop screaming and flexing
Hope this experiment will not destroy his confidence. He made the all-rookie 2nd team and was deemed as having great potential moving forward. But now it seems he regressed in all aspect of his game.
I remember Beno Udrih was destroyed by Linsay Hunter in the 2005 Finals (his rookie year) where he can't even dribble the ball past half court...
Eventually, he lost Pop's trust and was benched. Brent Barry replaced him as the backup PG till Beno was traded.

Pop put Sochan in a position to fail. If Sochan were given an honest chance he would look better.
for s sake....They guy cant make easy layups.....Pretty much useless on offense....Defence is sus as well
Yeah, this isn’t the NBA finals. It’s game 3 of 82 after one of the worst seasons ever, in NBA history.
I'm losing faith in the Sochan PG experiment already. The team just plays scattered without an actual facilitator on the floor.
On the season, Sochan is a team-worst -48.
Tre Jones is +15 in basically the same minutes.
I know there will be growing pains but if this continues, Spurs need to make a move and the obvious one (in my opinion) is to start Tre Jones and move Keldon to the bench where he will have more freedom to do the things he does best.
Sochan can still bring the ball up or handle some passing occasionally but it shouldn't be his primary responsibility.
Not good.
At the start of the season I wanted to have Wemby, Vassell and Sochan in the SL, did not care about anything else. Now I am willing to send Sochan to the bench for Tre ... Jeremy can regain his confidence against other teams' benches.
Apart from his PG shortcomings he also does not seem to individually defend like we saw last season. Its a bummer ...
That is a great answer and just shows the standard he has set for himself.
Yea, at least show that he has high expectations for himself and he understand that his performance in the past 3 games is not up to his expectation.
Game 1: Foul trouble, Turnover issues.
Game 2: Mediocre through 3 quarters and came alive in 4th Q and OT. Clutch performance but it was a struggle nonetheless
Game 3: Turnover issues and missed 3 pts and FTs.
Other than game 1, he can't hit the 3 pointers.
Stay on target… remember guys we are in experimental, developmental laboratory mode for the next three to eight years. In this mode losses are wins, turnovers are steals and hero ball is encouraged. After all, we need to see what we got. The broth is boiling, the cake is baking and the stew is stewing. There’s no bad plays out there. There’s no plays called at all! Got to protect at all costs our next high draft pick.
Yes, understand still in experimental mode. Just that after a failed experiment, is the failed subjects still the same before the experiment? Will they be able to start afresh so easily? Or will there be any negative lingering effects that will stay with players affecting their psyche and developments?
I was thinking in terms of GOAT coach ever and the situations leading to the Wama outcome thru 3 games.
I feel like playmaking/vision is something you either have or you don't. Coupled with his poor handle and lack of athleticism, Sochan will never be a passable PG. It's time to end this silly experiment
Pop is the point guard whisperer.
It's also witty. Wit is always a great sign in a person.
The trade Sochan talk is stupid. We're not winning any rings this year so I don't mind riding it out a bit longer but Sochan is clearly better in any other position than PG. Starting 3 would be fine if they're bent on Wemby not being a 5.
if the sochan experiment at pg fails, he will still gain great experience as a secondary creator. As long as he isn’t just a broken s of the player he once was, lacking the confidence to even get up in the morning.
We’re the youngest team in the league
OKC just got destroyed by the Nuggets
Everyone calm down and let’s see where we are at in 20 games
I’m gonna guess 4-16 if they don’t fix the pg situation. Assuming this right on target right?
No, trading Sochan is not stupid.
It depends on the return you'll get for him. The only untradeable player is Wemby.
Pop is trying something here with Sochan at PG, Collins at C and Wemby at PF. I have faith in Pop, we will see.
Sochan is a fighter. He doesn’t back down from a fight. It’s better to lose miserably now and get that blood taste in his mouth. If he is the fighter that I think he is, it’s just going to motivate him more to improve. If he does, he woukd be a great player. And even if PATFO decides to get a vet PG in his place, Spurs would jave a defensive big man who can facilitate and that’s a very valuable weapon to have.
this doesn't make sense. If anybody goes to the bench it's Sochan. You can't start 2 non-shooters in the modern NBA
I know it's early.. but I don't see how the skill set of this core of players gels..
