Exactly. When he mentioned doing what's best for himself, but in a moment of clarity realized how he sounded, brought it back around to saying what's best for the team. Ehhh hopefully I'm wrong.
"Wemby was amazing." Not that ing hard to say tbh.“We’re not amazed anymore by what he can do. We know how great he is now.” Sure that sounds salty.
as usual you losers are overanalyzing everything.
Sochan is probably in the lockerroom shooting the with Wemby while you fat civilians are pretending to be psychologists and twisting Sochan’s words to what you want it to be like. Just because he isn’t a butt buddy like Lebron and his friends are with Wemby doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect his greatness.

I saw that even in the huddle he looked like Dennis Rodman not giving 2 s...then again who knows.
Winning suddenly solves all problems..lol
burrito supreme guy still crying about this?
Sochan coming to Tre’s rescue when Booker was abusing him. You know what Sochan is made up of. Sochan like Wemby will just gonna get stronger and better. Pop patting him in the neck as calming him as if saying, “careful of those fouls, I need you out there kid.” He is listening to his coach and will move mountains for Pop.
Jeremy probably found this place and realizes how many Spurs fans are actively rooting for his failure.
There seems to be this idea that Sochan is a finished product when he's only just 20 years old and his birthday isn't until May.
On defense, he's jumpy and overshoots his man, maybe too active and undisciplined, right now probably a better help defender than a man defender, but he's fast and large and knows how to use his length and speed to cause problems.
On offense, he doesn't always see or execute opportunities, in college his story was that he'd see passes but not always place them, his personal bag is pretty limited, like he'll keep going to the same turnarounds, etc.
Both those things are going to improve tremendously. I don't think he'll be the 'strong' type of defender Draymond is, but I can see something similar, a canny defender who is patient and as much about placement and anticipation as anything. Those are things you have to learn. On offense, same thing, Sochan will learn how to be patient and read how the floor is developing. He's a smart guy; this is all going to come.
GrandpaPop is a weird yet beautiful sight to behold. When has he ever done that to young TP? Lol but yeah that was a nice.
So what was up with Sochan?
9 assist is whats up
Including several nice ones to Wemby
And a critical block on Booker in crunch time
Yeah that would be like, “what dumb f@ck are you doing?! Come here!”
That block was really nice. He took it away at the same time.
Spurs with Sochan at PG: -66 in 107 minutes.
Spurs with Tre at PG: +47 in 130 minutes.
Sochan isn't stupid. He knows that he is struggling and hurting the team when he is playing PG. He is also quite heavily criticized on social medias. I'm sure Pop has told him not to worry about all that, and that these short term issues are expected and logical, but it's still an uncomfortable situation to be for Sochan.
I think some here expect this from a new squad:
I feel like Pop is only really hard on players he plans on keeping.
Listen, I've been a fan of Tre since he was picked even when you dorks were saying he was the worst player ever.
I've been a big booster of Sochan since he was drafted. He was my guy.
Jones has been playing point guard since he was probably in junior high. Sochan has been playing point guard for five games and a preseason. The time to get him these reps isn't when they're a playoff team. It's now.
It annoys me how many sports fans I see hate on their own players like damn he's twenty!
Who has Pop treated harshly in the last year? Parker inherited a championship team. The expectations are completely different now.
Put it out right now. Sochan is my favourite player on the team. I love the team, I like wemby, I like Vassell, KJ, tre, I’m rooting hard for champagnie, mamu, Blake and malaki, I want collins to succeed and I want everyone on the spurs to do well, but sochan has that special sauce in him the way he plays. Maybe tone down the trolling stuff a midge. The way he reads the floor is great for a young player on both o and d. The way he smartly uses his length, speed and strength based on his match up and exploit it to his advantage was fun to watch.
I would be crushed if he ever got traded. Just a fun player to watch.
As a board-certified armchair psychologist, I have analyzed this short video and have come to some very troubling conclusions .
If we first first focus on when he quickly moves by Keldon Johnson, his lack of eye contact and general disregard seems to imply that he's saying something to the effect of: you're going to be on the bench unit soon, if not traded, and I shouldn't even worry about celebrating with you right now in this instance because you're not very high on my priorities. But his posture also suggests to say: I liked how you hustled in the fourth quarter, especially that one play when we got switched.
If we analyze how he very briefly bumps shoulders with Jeremy, the obvious conclusion is that his body language is saying: I'll give you the minimal recognition because I want to be cool with you cuz I need you to pass me the ball, but in fact I need you to pass me the ball a lot more than you are already, so it's a troubling stance at best, suggesting obvious displeasure and deep seated frustration, possibly even anger towards his shooting form and/or defensive stance technique.
Next, he bumps chests with Devin and gives him the most attention, suggesting that you are the second banana, you can briefly celebrate in this touching of our anterior planes with me. But if we analyze it further it gets more troubling. Analyzing his eyes, he seems to be looking in the direction of west. Unfortunately, Los Angeles is west so it implies that he's already looking to become a Laker.
Final assessment: it was fun while it lasted but we need to trade Wemby asap and start the rebuild over again. We had a good run with Wemby. It was a great five games. But the body language strongly suggests permanent problems that could never be fixed.
