Maybe some of these younger role players will improve once we have a better leading cast so they can become athletic supporters.
Dude starts the year as a starter and then gets benched. He shot 28% from 15-19 feet and 35% from 10-14 feet. And shot 30% from 3, and 68% from the free throw line and you have morons claiming he “improved.” He also went 21 out of 54 games without even making a 3 and I’m sure that will be spun as “improvement” somehow.
I’m going to start an official 3 point tracker for Sochan once the season starts. Pretty easy to for me to keep track of since I only have to bump it 28 times a season. nearly half his games he didn’t even make a damn 3. Mnky defends Sochan like he’s an all NBA player or an all-star or even a ing starter. The dude is a bench player. He’s behind the corpse of Harrison Barnes in the line up simply bc he can’t shoot worth and hasn’t improved at all on offense. And you can say he’s improved or he’s good and blah blah blah but the Spurs themselves don’t agree with your own statement. He didn’t even start once we lost Wemby.

looks a lot cleaner tbh. just hope it holds up in live action
If I was Mitch I'd tell Sochan he's getting benched every time he refuses to take a shot opponents are daring him to take, no exceptions or excuses.
Tell the world how you know about the game without saying it...
holee .
Barnes is about as good a veteran presence and consummate pro any team would be lucky to have.
Sochan is raw/unfinished and if you cannot see with your own eyes...it says everything about you and your level of ignorance.
Im not even the biggest Sochan fan but he is not a piece that will hurt the team by having him around as a good utility man and his defense is actually something most teams would like to have.
but you do - you...
Steph Sochan and we staaaaaaaacked
so he’s a bench player? Like I’ve been saying. He can’t shoot? Like I’ve been saying. You agree with my points but get all defensive about what exactly? Bc if Sochan could actually shoot he wouldn’t be a work in progress really.I’m not against Sochan on the Spurs. I like him as a bench player.
I’m against Sochan as a starter. He’s not good enough to be a starter on the Spurs if we are going to make a serious playoff push. This is proven by the team itself (who I guess know more than about the game?) since they’re the ones who benched him. Btw he started the year not on the bench so…
And I’m not going to get hyped on year 4 of Sochan changing his shot. You can get hyped by a 30 second video all you want and do you. But I won’t. He’s a nice bench player. We should sign him for a 4 year $52 million deal. But that’s all he is.
Sochan might be a crucial starting piece if the coaching staff decides he is…
the coaching staff will see how the pieces work together…every good team is made up of complementary pieces…not on some “all star” heirarchy…
i dont believe vassell should be anywhere near the starting five - but i am not tasked with that decision and if the coaching staff decides vassell fits better in the starting lineup- then i will assume they have good reasons for it…
Empty Gym God
That shot is horrendous, it's like Vassels super high release but way on his right side.
Who's teaching him this? why can't he just shoot normally like everyone else? You're an elite athlete, it's not that hard to shoot.
Almost everything about basketball seems new to him. Did he grow up playing the sport? He plays like he learned the game in his teens.
Klay Thompson releases a clip of making 78 straight 3s in a row and Sochan releases one of him making 2 out of 3
So you're saying they had the same amount of misses...Klay Thompson releases a clip of making 78 straight 3s in a row and Sochan releases one of him making 2 out of 3

Make or break season for him
Yup
Im going to steal that going forward. Well Sochan missed less 3s than Curry did last season so…
Form is bad but better. For some reason, for lots of players, these changes take years to see the actual improvement on the court. On the flip we're just trying to go from awful to less than average.
I think the motivation is there. He's seen two of his draft mates get sent packing so hopefully that adds more fuel to the fire and a survival instinct at least kicks in. And even if his shooting doesn't increase as much as everyone wants, I'll be interested to see if any other part of his game improves or not: rebounding, finishing in the paint, dribbling, antagonizing offensive players with dirty play, et cetera.
For dirty defense, he needs lessons from Bruce Bowen and Danny “Stinky Finger” Ferry.
I think Steve Adams said Sochan basically gave him a prostate exam during a rebound one time, so Sochan is familiar with getting his hands dirty, so to speak.
Poland first preparation game for the Eurobasket is tomorrow. It should give us hints on whether or not Sochan has improved his outside shoot. If he can shoot better, it will be great for Spurs next season.
Fox's extension and Sochan's 3 points shooting with his NT are the main things to watch regarding Spurs in the following days/weeks.
Who does Poland play and what time?
