Yeah from the outside it looks like Pop’s long term vision of Sochan is to turn him into a Diaw type of player (or I suppose more like Draymond, considering the rest of his game) whilst also understanding that those minutes will lead the Spurs to another high lottery pick. On a roster that clearly needs another foundational piece or four.

If this Sochan stuff works out there’s probably 3(?) starters on this team when you decide to really try to build and win? Wemby, Vassell, and Sochan? Get that fourth in the draft, have all those picks, flexible contracts, a shit ton of cap and now you’re cooking.
