Specifically because he gets the offense moving, *more* specifically he gets Wemby involved.
This is not a Sochan hate post, but Sochan should not be leading this offense.

Tre Jones was great last night, but I want to take everyone back to October 21, 2022.
Spurs vs. Pacers. A game we won by 3 points, but at one point, we were up by 19 points. We dominated that game but towards the end when Indiana started pressuring, the team, with Tre Jones as their starting guard, could not consistently and successfully get the ball past half court.
I don’t bring this up to slander Tre Jones. I bring it up to highlight the difference in his ability after one season as our starting guard because last night, Tre got pressured a lot, yet was able to bring the ball up with minimal effort. Guys need time to learn and the only way you learn is by getting reps against the top talents.
Sochan isn’t starting over Tre because he’s a better point guard. Sochan is starting over Tre because (given his size and defensive capabilities) he has the potential to be a much greater weapon for us in the long run.
To paraphrase Sochan, “Sometimes, you’ll see it and think ‘This looks great!’ and other times you’ll see it and think ‘this is trash’ but it’s all a learning experience”
