Jeremy Sochan is Wemby's cryptonite. He needs to go to the bench

Asked, and answered.

nice one

Seriously tho where did I mess up with the [ QUOTE]--- text ---[ /QUOTE] ??

Sochan has been great at... what we know he's great at. He's added consistency. Great.

We haven't seen any progress in his shooting, court awareness, ball handling or poise. He needs to control his energy and use it more wisely.

Sochan wasn't great at anything last season. A lot of people here called him average and not elite at anything. Wasn't that the main critique point? He's rebounding better, scoring more and drawing way more fouls. Small sample size, but again if he keeps playing like this he will be in the MIP and all-defensive team race. With that type of production he's in elite role player territory. Him developing a jump shot would basically make him a borderline All-Star.

Yeah. I’ve been a staunch defender of pop for years but even I have to admit he’s really lost the script. The offensive and defensive schemes are largely head scratching, the lineups were vomit inducing.

That said, he is still highly respected by the players and he does have the ability to really manage the players well. Kawhi has proven that it was all on him and pop just got neutered by it. If pop can get a few good assistant coaches that will really take control of the Xs and Os, then have those assistants take care of the schemes, like what KFC used to do, then the spurs can make some serious noise.

Wemby is obviously an other-worldly talent, Vassell can be a good 3rd option on a championship level team, sochan does a lot of the dirty work, castle is a bulldog. These players can be a skeleton of a good young team. Develop castles outside game, get another scoring wing who can defend and the spurs can really compete with the right schemes. People make it out like OKC for talent at every position that are far better than the spurs. I disagree. It’s the schemes that have clear roles for the players that make the differences. These are professional athletes and they can certainly excel at their roles if they only have to focus on a few things. Asking them to be everything everywhere all at once is when they fail. Ironically, sochan is the biggest example of this.

I'm with you on Pop. Last year was a year of teaching tbh. Pop is good at that so I had not much problems with the losses. This year though it looks like it is a outdated basketball. Players can't play freely. Wembty can do whatever but idk if he have the smarts of TD to do that. His basketball IQ is getting su ious even though he is young.

To criticize Sochan who is the best player on the team this season so far... idk

Overall Wemby is a shooter and Sochan is inside player.

Wemby is 7’5”. Sochan is not the reason wemby isn’t taking shots in the paint. Victor is just refusing to move. He’s planting himself, whether on the perimeter or at the elbows. The movement on the baseline, the leak outs, the dives to the rim, they’re all missing. You can’t blame that on Jeremy. The lack of spacing was just as bad, if not worse, last year.

100% and I think you make a dramatically overlooked point.

Victor parks at the 3, ready to receive the ball, as if it was the paint. If he is going to be a lame outside guy, then he should put himself in motion. Steph Curry doesn't just camp out there.

Kevin O Connor thinks Sochan shouldn't play with Wemby.

Seriously tho where did I mess up with the [ QUOTE]--- text ---[ /QUOTE] ??

It looks like you started and stopped several quoted sections with BOTH [ /QUOTE]

You have to be sure to START with [ QUOTE] (minus the space) and END with [ /QUOTE] (also minus the space)

[Chinook]

What did I do wrong guy??

I followed what Chinook told me ffs

When you do the quote, there's no space between the opening bracket and the Q. So it looks like [Q] for the start and [/Q] for the end. Except you put the whole word QUOTE in place of the Q.

Alternatively, you can just take the portions of a post you want to quote, highlight them, and then click the quote button in the interface.

I had to put the space so you could see it in regular text. So basically just go back into the post and edit it to remove those spaces, and it should be fine.

for all the Sochan snifers out there... ^^

[John B]

Sochan is a perfect pnr target for CP3 with him rolling to the rim

[jermaine]

Maybe Wemby is Sochan's crypto

[ambchang]

If only wemby can roll to the rim like sochan. Maybe wemby will take that third year leap and be more like sochan.

[exstatic]

This aged poorly.

Sochan is strong and goes through his defense. Wemby not so much., not yet.

[Chinook]

Again, not ting on the OP, but I do find it funny how thoroughly this game discredited that analyst in the video. You can tell that guy didn't watch a second of the Spurs and has no interest in anything other than talking points. None of us is perfect, but we don't ask folks to pay us for our basketball takes. Shame on him.

[Pauleta14]

Maybe

Despite the good game, I maintain my pov

I don't see much compatibility between Wemby and Sochan, it might end up working but I don't see it now.

Sochan felt a lot more comfortable when Wemby was on the bench

[BackHome]

Sochan just took a big dump on some posters.

[Mr. Body]

I do think Sochan and Wemby can get in each other's way, but we saw some solutions tonight, moving Wemby on screens from the baseline corner, operating the pic and roll with Sochan/Paul, then getting Wemby deeper into the lane and high post. That high post area, where Poeltl learned to be so effective, can be a key, and those screens from the wings were a bit hard for Minnesota to cover.

There are solutions.

[scott]

Wemby looked really effective tonight with his off the ball movement. There were several occasions where he was fed the ball in very dangerous positions because of some off ball screens and good movement. We need more of that. Wemby seems to think of himself as an ISO self creator, but he’s actually not very good at that (which is predictable, given his size).

A lot of the time when “Sochan is clogging up the spacing” its because Wemby is trying to be something he is not. Unfortunately our HC is apparently encouraging this stuff.

OP bases his entire view of the world off YouTube, Twitter and instagram. In other words he can’t think on his own and can only regurgitate talking points from some unaccredited rando with a social media channel. The viewpoints have to be as sound bite hot takes as possible, generally the more controversial the better. Then he will take those viewpoints as his own, and accuse those who disagree with him of lacking critical thinking skills, comprehension skills and intelligence, and when called out go on a hissy fit.

It’s pretty much his entire schtick. Whether basketball or politics.

[RC_Drunkford]

there's zero issue with making Sochan the roll man while Wemby rather operates on the perimeter. On offense Sochan is basically the C and Wemby the PF which gives you plenty match up advantages since Jeremy is too quick for centers. I don't see a problem there, he even threw a lob to Wemby.

[Raven]

wemby-sochan-paul is the most fluid trio tbh, they play great with each other and it will force teams to adjust, because they can play the roll all season otherwise.

[Pauleta14]

Some poster have reading compehension issues it seems...

Just take a deep breathing it'll be fine boy

Thanks for stating the obvious that seems too sensitive for a vast majority of the Spurs fanbase

WTF is happening with most of you guys ffs??

You can't have any nunaces in your analysis? It's hero or zero?

ps/ yeah I hope there are solutions, we're seing Pop and his staff trying stuff since 2 games FOR A REASON
