Spurs Select F Jeremy Sochan with the 9th Pick in the 2022 NBA Draft

[KobesAchilles]

Could we do 3 years 15-15-20 with 3rd year being team option? Seems pretty fair, and flexible.

He’d get at least double that on the open market. He wouldn’t sign that.

[KobesAchilles]

Anything less than the max is found money, tbqh

You have to look at potential and the archetype needed for the team. He’s completely restructured his shot. He’s put in the work and will be shooting at a very high level next year. The Spurs see this first hand. A Sochan with a shot is an all-star caliber player. Now he won’t put up the counting stats to be an All-Star bc he is a team player and will do what is best for the TEAM rather than what’s best for him. This iteration of Sochan can easily average 18, 8, and 5 while playing great defense for a bad basketball team. Instead he will sacrifice some of his offense to Castle and Harper and probably only average 11 points, 6 boards, and 3 assists.

You have to reward this type of team first mentality with a contract that acknowledges his hard work, improvement, and sacrifice.

Are you thinking .430 from 3P%, or is that too low?

A little low. I mean look at that form

Double would be 30-30-40 bro...

There's no way a team pay that much for a guy who can't shoot and can be a liability on offense with poor court awareness or passing abilities

(Unless you imagine a miracle U-Turn)

[The Truth #6]

Beyond the debate on his abilities, it seems like he gets injured for a good stretch the last few years. Sure. Some soft tanking complicates the clarity on this issue. But I'm wondering if his wild style of play is what keeps him on the court but also keeps him off the court.

[RC_Drunkford]

if you look at his scouting report coming out of college, he's still the exact same player. Same can be said for Wesley and Branham. Our player development staff seems to suck bigtime.

Great, more videos repeating the never do ented, likely fake 7-foot wingspan measurement while ignoring the lack of steals or blocks or charges drawn or deflections or loose balls recovered....

If you think he hasnt developed since they first got him in the system i dont know what the youre looking at.

name one thing he improved besides freethrow percentage

Low post game, initiating offense. Lots of .

Good chirst

When I think Sochan the first thing that comes to mind is low post game. It’s like watching Duncan all over again

You Know you’re bull ting when you say low post game! And then end it with lots of

where in the world was he initiating the offense? He‘s in the 50th percentile in post ups with a frequency of 3.9%. That means he barely does it. Unless he was completely useless before he didn‘t improve at all. Dude posted up in college as well.

He stepped up his hair dye game. In college it was pretty weak. Simple bleach.

Now he goes green and this mundane unremarkable rebounder gets lots of Spurs fans posting that he's the next Rodman!

[rascal]

If you think he hasnt developed since they first got him in the system i dont know what the youre looking at.

He could hit unguarded layups and dunks when he entered the league. Still has no mid range shot and can't score on anyone if guarded near the basket.

Often will even pass the ball back out when near the basket when guarded because he has no shot creation.

ACKSHUALLY... he hasn't even improved here either... still the same guy

[Pauleta14]

Only thing that could make up a bit for Mitch being named head coach would be Sochan being traded

He makes Vassell looks like a keeper

Is that video worth watching? I watched about 10 seconds and it seems to be a British basketball channel. I honestly never even thought about British hoops. Do many people play basketball in the UK, or is it mostly football/soccer?

[Ni-G]

For video you have to decide for yourself, I'd listen to it in a car as a podcast instead of watching it. BBall is surprisingly popular here, mostly with poorer ethnic minorities: Asian, African and Eastern European origin.
Government funding unfortunately non existent as most of money goes to posh private school white boys sports sadly.

I haven't been this impressed by practice 3s since Ben Simmons' annual clip.

[John B]

Holy crap!!… He cut his hair

Seriously, he keeps shooting like that he’d be the 3 and D Spurs have been wanted him to be. Great stuff
