Pretty decent for a so called "unathletic, no offense" player...

I happened to be watching live when it happened and I got up out of my seat and just stood staring at the TV with my hands on my head for about 30 seconds.
The reverse spin dribble and throw down reminded me of the Kawhi dunk on Ibaka when he spun away from Westbrook. Sochan’s dunk was filthier but the spin move leading into a dunk was very similar.
The "dunk" was awesome- but the most encouraging thing was the lead up. The Ball handling, nimble footwork all from a 6'8" 19 year old who is able to guard 1-5.
I don't think he's ever going to be a 25 ppg player- but he's not going to be a Ben Simmons passive offense kind of guy.
- Sochan’s swagger at ude. He exhibits that confidence, maturity beyond his years. We have somebody especial here.
- Bassey’s relationship with the main players, being a 2way and not even that long ago. He’s here to stay
- Sochan’s athleticism and aggressiveness lately in attacking the rim. He’s getting better every game
- And yeah that meme face reaction from the Kings bench will be classic
Everyone in the NBA can dunk.
Never seen Mills and Forbes dunk
Dunkin Donuts maybe
moneke's reaction was shades of the hawks' bench when bird went for 60.
Instant classic.
Keldon doing that classic meme response with the kids reacting to ownage
There were several flashes of brilliance from Sochan last night, obviously this dunk being most memorable.
Some of his plays as primary ball handler were also incredible.
I'm starting to get really excited about his future.
Two months ago people were saying he could never be in Simmon's elite supetstar category. Now they're saying he'll surpass him.
FTR, I think Sochan can become what people mean when they talk about Simmons, a point forward. That's not judging either one on All-Star level per se, just that both could be thought of as really good point forwards.
I love this place.
Aw, come on. I already accepted Sharpe's hype is real. Now it's your turn to be a man and own up. Admit you were wrong about Sochan and move on. One Atl Spur is enough for the forum.
Nice play. Not really down with the idea that this proves he will be a super star yet because of this spin move and dunk, but we are all looking for anything that gives us a clue to his future.
However, with all the hype about his prowess as a defender, I'd like you to look at about three moves at around the 4 minute mark of the 3rd quarter where he drifted over to double-team and left his man alone on the perimeter. The results were predictable as the veteran players on the Kings immediately broke for the basket and were rewarded with an assist for an easy score. The question is was that Sochan looking to be a hero on defense while leaving his man. He does wander around a bit like a zone defender when everyone else is playing man. Perhaps this is going to be his role and is approved or encouraged by the coaches? But he's gonna get burned a lot doing that.
I expect him to help a lot specially with bigger guards overpowering Tre. Sochan has nimble feet and high bball iq to anticipate plays, so yeah I think he will be doing a lot of that.
My question is Jak vs Bassey defense. I think Bassey has high ceiling to become a good post defender because he does fight for position, goes medieval blocking shots, and fight for rebounds.
I know it wasn't technically a "dunk"....it was more impressive tbh. That kind of shot basically won Dwight Howard a dunk contest, and this dude did it in a game through contact.https://www.spurstalk.com/jeremy-soc...ctions-videos/

RIP montas
Probably the most impressive NBA play I have ever seen, in terms of immediate disbelief of what happened, was Keon Clark of the Raptors doing this technically-not-a-dunk on a putback several feet away from the rim in the early 2000s or so. If memory serves me correctly he was in the middle of the paint or so and jumped, caught the rebound with one hand, and threw the ball down through the hoop so hard it wasn't immediately apparent that it was actually a basket.
If someone has a link to the video I would appreciate it. I have searched for it before and couldn't find it. Maybe I remembered things wrong.
Yeah, he dunked over a white guy with no verticle lift.
What was I wrong about Sochan about? Said Sharpe was a better pick and had a higher upside and the spurs should target him if possible in a trade up on draft day.
lol Sochan tagged sabonis in the pic of the poster dunk lol
Instagram or twitter?
