This low?
There are varying levels of intensity in practices. This looks like a casual shootaround where he wasn’t taking it seriously hence the slow jumper.
Lebron is an enigma. He never really learned how to shoot. He did his best but you wouldn’t call him a shooter. His shot is really all over the place which is why he fluctuates year to year with his shooting percentages. But what really helps him is his size and athleticism. He too big for small guards and he pushes off with his body to create the space and way to quick for the bigs and just uses his quickness to either get to the rim or do the step back on a back peddling big.
Castle doesn’t have the size or strength or athleticism of Lebron so that’s not really a good example. If Lebron were Castles size, strength, and athleticism he wouldn’t even be an all star never mind an all time great.
Sochan quote after win vs Philippines
Jeremy Sochan:I still have to find the right rhythm, but the matches in Poland helped me with that. I think that the game against the Philippines was better than the match against New Zealand. It was my second game after the break, I still have to find the feeling of the game.I was supposed to play in Poland in only one match, but I asked members of our medical staff and coaches who flew with me from the United States if I could play in Sosnowiec. They agreed, but only for 12 minutes, so as planned, I appeared on the court only in the first half.
Comments after the match Poland - Philippines (pzkosz.pl)
Poles better than the Philippines in the last friendly (pzkosz.pl)
The mind’s of Brian Wright pick hoarder needs to be studied after seeing Sochan’s most recent jumpers. Dude looks like a career NBA journeyman.
his shot looks worse than ever
at least he made the shot
What do basketball camps teach these days? When I went they taught you correct form. They put your hands in the proper position and put the ball in the proper position and you shot it like that until you shot it right. He should have never made it out of grade school with that form
Do the Spurs have a shooting coach since Chip left - and if so, does he need to be fired, or is Sochan just stubborn?
If shooting was his only issue...
He lacks all fundamentals, ball handling, passing, has low BBIQ, plays head down etc
I sound like a hater that I'm not but I just don't understand how he was drafted that high, even in a weak draft , he's a 2RP player.
I'd love to eat my words
That last shot by Sochan looks like it was him just messing around, not his normal shot.
For all the talk of how "weak" this draft was... I can count at least 5-7 guys who were available at #8 that are better prospects than Sochan was coming out of college.
We'll see what 2031 looks like, I guess.
Sochan would still get drafted high because of his size. Hard to fill the starting PF spot with non bigs. Salaun a lesser prospect went 6.
You are absolutely a hater, and none of those things are true.
What happened to Sochan tbh?
I thought his rookie year, everyone was singing his raise...high bball IQ, good defensive instinct, can be a quarterback and pass the ball (like Draymond).
Then it all went downhill and look like his Spurs career might not last beyond his 4 years rookie deal.
People’s hatred for Pop spilled onto Jeremy because of the experiment.
Why do you even waste time thinking that tbh?
If you read me I even said that "I'd love to eat my words"...
I'm not 15yo, I don't need to hate on anyone playing bb. I think you also said the same thing to me regarding Vassell last season lol Let's stop wit this bs bro, I wish the best to all of them, it's not personnal
Tell me Sochan doesn't play head down?
Tell me he has a good court vision
What about his handles? NBA level to you?
I presumed he has a low BBIQ bc of his countless reactions to pecific situations. Sport gives you that, you can't hide who you are and high or low BBIQ are alwasy noticeable.
He wasn't even starting in college and wasn't picked bc of his talent but his physical abilities in a weak draft where PATFO opted for a project/gamble
I'm still hoping he improves and think his NT team experience will be great for him, but I'm not going to pretend I like this player if I don't.
Hate doesn't have to always be a reason
I stopped watching NBA for a few seasons, came back last summer bc of Wemby
I started re-educating myself on the Spurs's roster and was reading everywhere how Wemby's duo with Sochan would be amazing
First vid of Pop I see is him almost getting emotional comparing Sochan to... Manu! (lmao). Not knowing him I was expecting a crafty smart dude etc
Imagine my surprise after the 1s games...
I got killed by all ST all timers calling me a Wemby Stan, a hater blabla, I waited and watched more thinking maybe I was wrong...
Only to notice zero improvement at all and a massive liability on the court.
No idea if it's fixable, I'd like him to come off the bench to maybe push him to win his spot. He doesn't seem to have ever been challenged (hence his reaction after the PG experiment?)
All of this are good for his position and he is an all world defender. The main problem is his scoring and getting used to expanding it. He goes top 10 in this draft no question. Teams invest in versatile defenders more than ever because of all the switching and jumbo initiators. Watch the 2nd to last OKC game and just focus on Sochan, you see his elite on ball and off ball defense.
Future will tell but many think this draft is weaker than the 22'
You'd have to be a hater not to acknowledge his defensive abilities and potential, but beyond his shooting, his overall offensive game is a liability.
We've seen when he was out at the end that even with gleague players the team played better, more fluid.
The real hope is bc of his age, let's wait and see/hope
Lol, no they aren't... and no he isn't.
Sochan shows great defensive potential, and he's currently a good, yet inconsistent defender. Calling him an all world defender in his current state is laughable. Spurs fan will say anything to make them feel better about this roster.
you can't really evaluate a prospect in year 2, especially when he got played out of position for half a season. Year 3 is where you need to see a jump, so this year is crucial for Sochan, Branham and Wesley. They have to show major improvement.
It was for 18 games.
