Was similarly bad statistically last year. Wondering if he's lazy or just hasn't been coached how to move his feet. For all his athleticism he is terrible defensively.
He was bad defensively last year too.

He's cheap so you gotta give him another year to develop unless he can be used to get someone better in trade, but another season like this one in 24-25 and the Spurs shouldn't even pick up the option on him.
well, the deadline to exercise his 25-26 option is prior to the start of the 24-25 season
The Spurs picked up Primo's option and cut him shortly after. It would take an utter catastrophe for them not to pick up Sochan's option.
23-24 isn't qualifying as one?
he will still be just 20 years old when the reg season ends. i dont think you give up on him, even though he's underperformed. its not like there's a roster crunch, let alone compe ion at the 4
Not even close. He's only 20. There is very little to lose by keeping Sochan under contract for his first 4 years, like 4-5% of the cap each year, even if the Spurs don't end up extending him.
Was joking, yeah I'd pick up the option but certainly wouldn't extend him after if he doesn't take a big step forward next year.
lol obviously
but you never know with pop saying "i thought he was terrific" after every miserable performance
Every minute given to that janitor is minutes lost to someone else
In NBA every minute is $$$
Let that niglet go find a job at Walmart where he will probably get fired in 48 hours
His drtg was similar to last year but the entire team was worse, where as this year there’s some minor improvements but sochan regressed slightly. I agree he should be much more defensively given his physical gifts, he has the willingness. So that is either he’s unaware of defensive situations (really tough to help), lazy (coaching issue) or lacks fundamentals (also coaching issue).
I’m ready to say I’m biased because I like his overall attributes, just that he’s so raw that it will take a much longer time to make into a finished product. He’s sort of like a Wesley at PF and needs significant coaching. Putting him at PG fully messed him up.
His DFG is downright awful too, though I think a bit of an improvement from last season if I remember right. Not Keldon or Branham bad, but still bottom third or so of the league.
Yeah he gets assigned to the best player on the other team, without instructions it seems.
You would think he wouldn't need instruction to not leave the best player on the other team wide open at the three point line constantly
I never understood what they are doing this year. And why they were not coached to stop collapsing the paint unnecessarily on every drive. It’s not just sochan. It’s the entire team.
Spurs are taking his options, no doubt.
he needs to up his bbiq. he has the tools just no court awareness. start shooting free throws like he a bb player, how about g league to get his confidence back. Pop ruined this guy.jmho.
Continues his low IQ out of the league tour. Invisible all game until the clutch where he passes up an open layup and throws a bad pass leading to a TO when he could have tied it easily
You are right in that Pop completely ruined this guy. Dude has great court awareness or had. Unfortunately, due to whatever Pop instilled in him the guy can't turn it off. Guy was great with zero responsibilities and the green light to just play. Should be stripped of the #10 until he regains that Rodman/Manu type hustle player.
I just don't think he'll ever put it together here. He needs a change of scenery and a different coach. I'd try and move him now before his value has totally tanked or before I had to pick up that option.
This scrubs year reminds me of the Jefferson era
Except could at least play ball
This scrub would struggle selling hot dogs on the sideline

Ben Simons vibes from Sochan![]()
That’s not on Sochan. Wemby messed that up.
