THOMAS SORBER MET WITH THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS

[Dejounte]

Watched this Thomas Sorber interview and came away impressed. Used to be soccer goalie until 8th grade and played Quarterback for the short time he played Football. I’m a big believer playing multiple sports will help you with your footwork, hands and coordination.

Between Beringer and Sorber Spurs might be picking a former Goalie to protect the rim.

which interview

which interview

He interviewed with Jeff Teague on his podcast this morning

Thread-worthy, tbh
(Anybody else notice how active this board has been since winning the #2 pick? Welcome, newcomers!)

Nice!

[scottspurs]

Dylan Harper also interviewed with Jeff Teague. They also had Derick Queen and Tre Johnson on

[Dejounte]

another interview. He comes off as someone who knows the game a lot. High iq player

I'm all for drafting Sorber just to be able to call him "Brace Face". Absolutely goated putdown, tbh.

He's awesome man. Soft touch under the basket, but can dunk with authority...wants to block shots and rebound...good hands for steals to start fast breaks. Plus, he's a good guy. Smart young man. No drama. He's all about defense. I'd be surprised if Pop doesn't trade Up to get him...maybe as high as #10.

He's my highest rated C in this draft.

I don't know, a lot of the blocks I saw in HL clips were him barely getting to the shots of 6-foot college scrubs who were barely getting off the ground. Just compare a Beringer blocks package to his and you'll see the difference, Beringer could really go and meet the ball above the rim. Blocks are blocks, so I'm not trying to diminish the blocks Sorber was getting, but rather noticing that there are a lot fewer no vert 6-0 21 year olds putting up shots at the NBA level

Maybe I need to watch those 2 hour long every play comps on Sorber to be better educated

A former goalie who watched Hakeem?? Hmm

He's my highest rated C in this draft.

Smart man you are!

Yes Sir! Sounds like a Spur to me! Crossing fingers!

[exstatic]

What's the big deal about this guy? Just seems like an unremarkable back-to-the-basket big that doesn't really do what we are desperately lacking -- shooting.

edit: lol Roy Hibbert

He’s got good positives on both sides of the ball. On offense, he averages nearly 3 asst/36 and his asst/TO ratio is right side up. On defense, he generates 4.0 stocks/36.

[Guru of Nothing]

I'll bet Sorber's posts some gaudy assist numbers (for a big) kicking the ball out to NBA-grade shooters.

Thomas Sorber said the floor would be spacious.
"They'd probably put him on the perimeter and use me as a five," Sorber said, already working the logistics. "That'd be an intangible duo. It'd be special."
The duo even had a nickname.
"Wemby-Sorber," he joked. "I don't know, yet. I've got to think about that."
