    Sochan is gonna be in the top 10 most hated players in the league when people realize what a pest he is in defence… and because he looks dumb with his hairdos

    Anyone else see a lot of Ron Artest in his game? Even the upright nature in which he plays. Also the raw offensive ability and edge to his play.

      That’s actually real. He’ll take the hate away from wemby. Ppl won’t wanna hurt wemby they’ll wanna hurt sochan. And sochan isn’t running from that smoke.

      It’s very interesting that they’re trying to mold him into a PG. His handle and shot are both pretty rough right now but it could pay off big time, he’s already such an impactful and versatile defender. Even if it doesn’t end up working he can just slot in on the wing anywhere.

      Was Ron Harper really a point guard or just a big wing defender that got “slotted” into the PG position (and it didn’t matter that much due to the triangle?)

    The Spurs defense could be pretty interesting this year. Against the Rockets they put a ton pressure on the PG with Sochan harassing him in space while Vassell and Keldon were very aggressive in the gaps with their length. Collins is fairly mobile for a 7 footer and obviously Wemby covers so much space. The offense will be a little janky but they could be very scrappy.

    Just 2 back to back games in the pre-season, and I can tell our guys hate the Spurs. Will be a good rivalry this year. Feels like Spurs have a little mental edge going into season after last 2 performances. But our team has a lot of defense/grit guys, so should be good chip on shoulder stuff.

      As a long time Spurs fan AND Rockets hater my favorite moment of the last year was Wemby doing a little fist pump when yall secured the 4th pick.

      but yall got a lot of talent and a good coach and i dont like it

      It’s hard to hate the Rockets since there’s so many former Spurs on the bench. Like it was great to see Ime, Boban and Tiago last night. But I’m sure I’ll find a way lol

    People are going to love him, then when the Spurs get good, opposing fanbases are going to hate him.
