I think he's just super chill. He's what we call "flat affect" - doesn't have noticeable highs and lows, but a steady baseline state of emotion. And if what they say is true about NBA players, he might be high on weed all the time too.
I actually kinda like what I've seen in a general sense. And even if the experiment fails, he goes back to the natural position plausibly with some kind of enhanced development he wouldn't have honed without the PG test run.
He has a lot of stuff to work on and some things to clean up like better shot selection, TOs, passing vision/playmaking needs to improve. I love that he is stepping up to the challenge and from what I saw last season I think he is a quick learner and hope that applies here somewhat.

Happened another game too... Wemby had a big dunk and he didn't react at all... Hopefully it's nothing, but there's definitely smoke... You don't go from being one of the more expressive players on the team to not reacting for no apparent reason
But he isn't tho... Dude has been here over a year... We know how he usually acts on the court
I mean, he literally slapped hands with Wemby right after KJ's steal and finish, but y’all do yourselves.
So u think he is acting completely normally and everyone pointing it out, down to reporters are seeing things?
Do I think this board is psychotic and completely incapable of enjoying a scrappy, astounding win? Yes. Do I think at this point it's clinical? Yes.

agree
He doesnt usually celebrate with emotion. Nothing to be worried about
He was never an overly emotive guy on the court but he does look like he’s a bit flat out there.
yeah i'm not sure... i thought he did well enough
His body language and behavior is different. If you cannot see that then you have your eyes closed. If you think it needs a psychologist to see that then maybe you need to fire your psychologist and open your eyes to the real world.
after rewatching Sochan did dap up everybody though. Victor and him also high fived each other after his putback. Not much going on I think except Sochan being a little frustrated which is logical when he plays a position that's not suited for him
Could he be a lizard person?
There's many times a teammate would begrudgingly dap a teammate because that's just what sports culture says you should do... But there's different levels of engagement... U can tell when someone is into a greeting, or when they're just going through the motions... Sohan seemed to be going through the motions with everything this year... He doesn't celebrate with everyone on the bench, and he gives half-hearted high 5s... Especially when it pertains to Wemby...
Is he an only child? Could be that syndrom
Probably nothing...and even if it is then who cares...you ship Sochan out. It's not like he the reigning mvp or something.
While it's probably nothing and the board is overreacting...I will say that posters here are not the only ones to notice this. Lot of neutral fans on realgm also pointed out how there appears to be some kind of tension with Sochan. Whether it's related to Wemby or something else entirely benign, who knows. But his disposition has definitely been noticable
Sochan is fine. He was struggling. Did anybody expect him to be happy? I think he is focused and will not celebrate until he can see his plays much improved. I like that. It reminds me of the late Kobe at Jimmy Kimmel show unimpressed with his teammates celebrating on a win over Boston after three weeks of losing. Sochan is remained focused, much like Timmy was. Nothing to see there.
Sochan clearly looks like he's not haivng fun, like he's not personally and emotionally involved ... I believe he's sending Pop a message that he's not having that PG experimentation. Nobody does actually, that's not working. it's really striking on his body language at the very end of the game, on the last few possessions...
By now, everybody must have seen that he simply does not show much, any? emotion one way or the other.
Even when getting pissy with an opponent, he's stonefaced
Although not interacting or celebrating with teammates is disconcerting

Nah, there are some of the worst Spurs fans on realgm. It's all driven by those ninnies. That Phreak guy in particular is one of the stupidest most pointless people I've seen around. I'm sure he's here by another name, too.
Sochan is an asshole on the court. He has a swagger and has never shown a ton of emotion beyond getting into people's grills. Then he's the chillest dude off the court.
Y'all need to go back to the Kardashians and Real Housewives.
Sochan and Wemby high fived at least three times during the game and I wasnt even counting because this is dumb.
Wemby has shown an appreciation for Vassell in these moments and it’s no surprise that he went straight to him again last night. He likes Vassell and they celebrate in similar ways. Sochan is kind of a jerk and weird and that’s not new, but his teammates seem to like him. He usually points that at opponents
If we're using Draymond Green as a loose comp for Sochan, it's plain to see that Jeremy is ahead of the curve in terms of development. Draymond put up 2.2/3.9/0.7 as a 22 year old rookie and then 6.2/5.0/1.9 as a 23 year old before really bursting on to the scene as a do-it-all glue guy at age 24, on a team that jumped from 51 wins to 67 wins for the season. Sochan's at 8.8/6/4.3 right now at age 20. He'll turn 24 in 2027. Patience.
