Hey so, Few things…
I’m so tired of the combination of these 2 words.
Regardless of how great Wemby was/is…we had/have a ceiling.
It’s a very young team; they are super long, athletic and they try on defense. (the PHX outcomes, one day will be the norm)
Sochan is a less-hyped Ben Simmon. Less talented ball handling wise but isn’t scared to take a look for himself.
Tre Jones is a decent point guard, but IMO even with an increased chance of a turnover with Jeremy, he’s going to apply a greater defensive pressure on whoever he’s guarding…as well as having a greater presence regarding team defense. He’s a lot bigger than most guards, and with him at the 1 team length is a true strength and will be a problem for the majority of the league.
I don’t think Jones starting/Sochan not ever playing PG changes anything. I’m glad we don’t have CP3. I don’t want to waste money/jeopardize having the money for a player that actually matters when it matters.
Let Jeremy continue playing PG. He’s going to get better at it, there’s no need to panic. I don’t see any benefit in Wemby moving to the 5 & Jeremy to the 4. I like Jeremy, I’m excited to see what the Spurs can become with him as PG. This team is being built a special way if we just develop it. I believe they’re a rebounder away from consistently winning games. I’d prefer to continue to lose games for draft purposes in the hopes they draft a rebounding/enforcer type center(I don’t know who fits this description)
If they want to win now, they should deploy Collins as a rebounder instead of spacing the floor/shooting 3s or whichever big man they have best equipped to primarily rebound.
IDK if they want to win games and I’m, as I said, totally on board with that.
Point of post, when we continue to lose I don’t think it’s the “Sochan Experiment” failing. It’s not fair to blame him as PG for why we’re losing. We’re in the early phases of our babyface(wrestling term:google it) stage; we’re growing stronger chemistry & culture every game and it’s only going to continue to trend that way with support.

I love watching Jeremy play. He has great energy and hustle. He’s also obviously extremely talented and, as an NBA all rookie last year he is sacrificing by playing a position he likely has never played before under the very bright lights wemby has brought to the team. Also like wemby, his many talents but lack of a go to skill on offense as of yet make projecting him and his game very hard.
I see already steady improvement. His perimeter defense is getting better, he’s also bring the ball up a but faster and more efficently, seeing the go ahead pass more often. Last few games his offense has looked better to, scoring double digits and with solid efficiency.
I proud of him and proud to have him as a Spur.
I’ve been so impressed with him through this challenge.
