First off, I do not think the Spurs have Sochan in mind as the long term solution as point guard. Maybe it was their longshot goal that is obviously not happening, but now it’s all to get Sochan’s playmaking ability up to where he can be a starter on a good/great team. His offense is looking slightly better with a 40% 3 point percentage for the last 10 games (less than 2 attempts per game but still), but he’ll need to continue to improve his offense to an average NBA player level or playmaking to an elite level to make it worth having him play major minutes in the future when he returns to the 3-4 spot.

Right now the Spurs have 2 players who would be for sure starters on a good/great team, Wemby and Vassell. I think Keldon would be a solid 6-8 man on a great team who need a spark plug off the bench and Zach has shown his defense isn’t where it needs to be to match the starter skill level in the league, so he’d be a solid back up center option.

Figuring out if we have a core of 2 or 3 players is huge when drafting and looking at players to sign, so I’d much rather the Spurs figure out where Sochan will fit in now at the beginning of Wemby’s career rather than a few years down the road.

    Lmao oughta just turn this into a drinking game at his point.

    Rules: You drink if

    1. Sochan turning into draymond/diaw
    2. Its just an experiment bro
    3. KJ is a sixth man

    Sochan was already at an average/above average playmaking wing. It’s why the Spurs thought this entire thing would be a good idea. Sochan as it stands is already a starting caliber wing/4 on a “good/great team”."

    A lot of you are inexplicably showing that you don’t actually watch Spurs games and really only highlight/stat watch.

      And that’s is what is affecting the conversation on this sub

      Everyone watches wemby highlights and says wow

      But if you watch the games wemby is lost and that isn’t good for development of the most important player…its wemby BTW

      Then they look at stats and say he is getting shots

      No those are chuck ups often frustrated chuck uos

      Its not shots like chet holmgren gets with giddie setting him up

      There’s not a single good/great team that he would start at the wing or 4.

      Name a contender Sochan would start for.
