Even if Sochan doesn’t become a great lead ballhandler what are the downsides of having an extra guy who can potentially run weak side pick and rolls, make quick decisions when needed and potentially run second units in a couple years.

That’s without mentioning guys other teams discarded and then got turned into sought after role players by the Spurs like Danny Green and Poetl. Guys who the league thought were garbage/ on their last legs who came to SA and rehabbed their image/ extended their careers like Aldridge, Derozan and Rudy Gay.
Dejounte played 6 seasons in SA, was the 29th pick and was an AllStar the year before they traded him lol. They also developed Derozan from an inefficient chucker into one of the best midrange players in the league and at the very least an average playmaker for his position. Also Derrick White who was also pick 29 went from completely unknown bench player to a starter on one of the favorites for the title. Kyle Anderson, 30th pick has developed into one of the best role players in the league. Also developed Poetl from fringe starter/bench rider to one of the better defensive bigs in the league. Danny Green went from a guy who barely played and couldn’t shoot in Cleveland to one of the most sought after role players for a decade and is still somehow in the league at 36. There’s probably more I’m missing.
The Spurs track record is unimpeachable. Pretending it’s not is lunacy.
I mean yeah. Those things can be connected and usually are lol. Playing with better players usually makes your efficiency go up.
That video wasn’t trying to paint him as an actual Draymond level, just showing that his role on that teams defense was similar to Draymonds. Which it was.
He’s always had that at least a little. Doc just put him in positions where he was asked to make a ton of tough ass passes that only really good passers should have to consistently make.
What team has Jimmy beat that was even close to the Warriors or Spurs level lol.
Tbf teams have done that to him his whole career which is probably why his percentage is that high. He’s a guy who will hit some wide open corner 3s, but will brick everything that’s even sort of contested.
What are the dumbass things that KAT does? I know he can be prone to offensive fouls but isn’t that generally it?
