First time I see a video that appreciate Sochan defense efforts, thanks
🙌 yesssss
Thank you he’s brilliant and his offensive game can only get better
Pop plays him in the wrong position.
Spurs fans appreciate Sochan. It's the new Wemby fans that don't get it. And they're very loud about it.
reason is: he s actually not a great defender....
Only fake spurs fan don't appreciate Sohans work ethic
Sochan just makes bad decisions on offense sometimes but ive ALWAYS said hes gnna be a great defender and slasher once he gets his shot down. hes gnna be a Draymond Green type
I feel like people who hate Sochan are Wemby fans, not Spurs fans. People tend to follow a player nowadays and not the team.
Yup 100%
You cant blame them the league has pretty much turned into that.. thank the organizations @boozeman4749
1000% love to see real spurs fans because this team is going to something special very soon
Devin Vassell had really solid defensive potential his first three years in the league, now he has turned into a no.1 scoring option with a Cam Johnson type offensive threat beside Victor. but he can still be a really good defender
All we need from Jeremy is increase his 3-point shooting average. Even just a league average is good enough.
He can play small forward.
And then get a PG that guards like Murray.
Add a PF that can shoot and defend like Lauri.
It is good enough to compete in the future.
The biggest problem is there are to many people commenting that do not know basketball. Yes Sochon is going to be imperative to the success of this team. He is 20 yrs old just like Wemby. This microwave mentally generation. Thinks he should come in knowing everything. Years 3-4 for him and 2-3 for Wemby will be very different than what you see now. Great segment. Thanks for pointing out what these unqualified people can't see coming.
Yesssss
fair enough, but then let s start by not mentionning sochan and rodman in same sentence, or even saying sochan is a great defender....thx
@@gf5050 also let's stop saying a 2nd yr player can't attain "greatness"!! I saw all of Rodman's career. He was a long lanky hustle machine at the beginning. Sound familiar?! Sochan can be anything he wants with focus and effort. So sick of people writing off players after 2 seasons. Shut up and let them play.
@@MCloud-vf6xl who wrote that? Dont make things up. But also live in the present and not fantasy world. If sochan doesnt dye his hair last yr, no one ever compare him to rodman, get real. Apart from that i wish sochan the best career ever, especially if he stays at spurs…
People who don't watch the Spurs dont realize that Jeremy has maybe the toughest job on the team outside of Wemby. Wemby gets to stay in the middle and block shots. Sochan guards the best opposing player every possession. Often he switches from one player to another so he can start a possession guarding KD, then switch to Booker, then switch to Beal, and stay with every single one of them. He is one of the true can guard every position defenders in the NBA. And he's 6 months older than Wemby. He's never going to be worse than he is right this second. Sochan is coming to get everyone
Sohan can be a matchup nightmare with Wemby feeding him lay ups, with his activity and if he can put up his 3s, they can for sure be very very much a problem on both ends
I just like the lad, he s no Manu but I like him
I love Sohan’s effort, he’s really a great player, you can’t teach hustlers, tenacity and work ethic.
I feel like the Spurs are missing a shooter, a 40%+ 3&D guy… if they can get a PG, even better, but if they don’t, Jones is good enough…
If Wemby can play some 30+ minutes consistently, they can get at least a playin spot next season…
realy like Sochan, he's always showing a good energy when he is on the court, and with Wemby you cant have an easy access to the ring,
Enjoyed the video. Posting to say that the Spurs hid Parker on the worst offensive perimeter player for his enitre career. Manu was a gambler on defense, he won more than he lost but he was often out of place. Both were willing to take a charge and both would gamble for steals.
In the Duncan era Robinson, Duncan, Bowen, Green, Leonard and their rotation of centers and wings really anchored the defense.
I was confused when he said Parker too but we get the idea😂😂
SA loves our Sochie Bear☺️
To be honest, if the Spurs pick a good PG this draft and have patience to let everyone on the roster grows they will have a dynasty very soon...
I want us to bring in a defensive big like alex sarr imagine the team with:
PG: Trae Young (not that good offense but will run offense perfectly)
SG: Devin Vasell (Decent defense but is young and improving offense really well)
SF: Jeremy Sochan (Promising Defense, getting better on offense, shot will come soon) - this is why we had the sochan experiment so he could move to a role where he can do everything.
PF - Alex Sarr (Big Man, good defense, will take brunt of force away from wemby preventing injury, good offense)
C - Wemby (Alien - nothing else to say)
Bench: Keldon Johnson ( Brings energy, can score well, big body), Tre Jones (perfect backup pointguard, good defense, can assist well) + other promising rotation players.
Totally agree, again a very informative video as always... thanks NBA Swish
Thank u for watching. More on the way
this video is gonna help educate the masses for sure! great stuff!
Thank u. 🙏.
As a Spurs fan, we were excited for the team prior to Wemby coming. In fact, Spurs fans would have been happy with getting Amen Thompson last year in the draft if we didn't get 1st pick. This team is going to be undervalued and underappreciated the same way every team Lebron has ever been in. The difference is that no one will break up this squad and they will grow together. The NBA is in trouble. Its just a matter of time
It was true. Sochan and Vassell, were a lil butt hurt when Wemby arrived with all the fan fare and enormous ability. Prior to Wemby, the Spurs were slanting towards building around Vassell and Sochan's unique, but still budding abilities.
Now Sochan is a role playing around Wemby, as the center piece. Remember, while Sochan was selected #9 by the spurs, he was a 6th man on that baylor team. He came out of college early so his calling card was his ability to be a value utility guy, which included making passes, finding the open man, assisting and playing defense. Sooooo, he knows how to pass the ball.
Someone got to him and redirected him from how he was playing early in the season. In time, you could see that Wemby was growing in his displeasure of the spurs playing low I.Q. 🏀, led by Sochan. Consistently not making the correct 🏀 play, as a basketball player is low I.Q. basketball.
Sochan, Vassell and Keldon Johnson were playing selfish, low I.Q. basketball. Remember, it was only last year Johnson was awarded a 4 yr/$80M contract, becoming the highest paid spur. Vassell just got extended @$124M prior to Wemby's arrival.
Due to Wembys increasing BAD body language on the court and starting to loaf back on defense, because Pop was permitting BAD basketball, Pop's hand was forced.......ENTER Tre Jones back into the lineup to provide fundamental, high I.Q. basketball play. Keldon Johnson to the bench. Vassell playing around Wemby instead of coming down the court attempting to be the featured guy.
So what is known now at the end of the season is that Wemby as a 19 year is the spurs best player with the highest basketball I.Q. on the team.
Sochan should focus on defending, rebounding and hitting the open shot, when he is open. He should not be FORCING offense as he so often does. He should be a dbl/dbl guy every night.
Spurs fan since 94. Love the content, but 1 addition to the big 3 era. Yes Duncan was the rim protector, but the head of that defensive juggernaut on the perimeter was Bruce Bowen….that being said, you’re on point the Spurs are building in the same blueprint.
Thank u
Interesting video. Maybe a few too many examples to prove your point but some people might need that.
Will be exciting to see what the Spurs become over the next few years.
And Zaccharie Risacher is the missing piece of an elite defensive team.
Can you imagine if they get sarr
Sochan gets hate for his defense, but Pop wouldn't have put Sochan on the other team's best players if he was bad. Later in the season there was more standing around, but then we find that Sochan has been experiencing ankle/foot pain and that explains most of his mobility loss. Spurs have the best training and athletic center in the NBA and likely we will see a healthy Sochan for next season.
I love Sochan He put some style on this franchise
Facts
Great video and completely agree, greaat job buddy
Actually the whole spurs team is starting to show that they might become a top team through maturity rather than through signing of 10 new players. Vassel, Jones, Johnson and Collins are very solid and the other guys are not bad.
Kawhi has two DPOY'S
i hate all these new bandwagon spurs fans.
Great take, Wemby and Sochan are two elite defenders. Add Topic in this year's draft to boost their playmaking and defence as well, with Vassell still being young and a potential great scorer, and then a versatile 4, that starting line-up will be insane. Some key role players off the bench, and you potentially have a dynasty, with Sochan and Wemby being just 20, Topic is 18, and Vassell 23.
I think they need a SF more than they need a PG like Topic
i agree.. i think pop's experiment on sochan move at pg is to develop his passing skills, and vassel taking more shot to improve his confidence, and the last few games the pick & roll of wemby and vassel has improved... the other fans don't get it.. and wemby improved his 3pts also, it takes time to build chemistry...
Just imagine for a second, Spurs get Cooper Flagg to add to these two on defense. How do you score on Wemby/Cooper/Sochan? You literally can't
I am a fan of Sochan.
And he's not just a defensive stopper, he's tough. Well, not in the Draymond kind of character 😂 but just doing his job that some never noticed, even how he positions his body to guard the opponent's best player is just unbelievable, annoying them sometimes.
And I like the fact that he worked so hard to improve his 3pt shots.
Really a good contribution to the team even though he's not the go to guy in team scoring.
The Spurs really need that having released McDermott via trade. He can help.
The comparisons to Rodman are fair. Sochan has a motor. He is relentless. Sometimes a little reckless. But he's version 2.0. He isn't a head case like Rodman and offensively, he's light years ahead. Rebounding should get better as he gets stronger.
You made a great point. But to say spurs defense depends on sochan?? You trippin buddy 😂
Let me be clear, jeremy will be a really great help defensively, but he’s no rodman to MJ, he’s no holiday to giannis, and he’s no gordon to Jokic. Unlike other team’s superstars, Wemby also happens to be the spurs best defensive player.
Comparisons are baseless: he’s so Chan to Wembanyama. Already
I want us to bring in a defensive big like alex sarr imagine the team with:
PG: Trae Young (not that good offense but will run offense perfectly)
SG: Devin Vasell (Decent defense but is young and improving offense really well)
SF: Jeremy Sochan (Promising Defense, getting better on offense, shot will come soon) - this is why we had the sochan experiment so he could move to a role where he can do everything.
PF - Alex Sarr (Big Man, good defense, will take brunt of force away from wemby preventing injury, good offense)
C - Wemby (Alien - nothing else to say)
Bench: Keldon Johnson ( Brings energy, can score well, big body), Tre Jones (perfect backup pointguard, good defense, can assist well) + other promising rotation players.
i like that a lot..young/jones/wesley is the PG position sorted, solid
I would like to put DJ Murray over Trae plus the line up you said.
Vassell, Jeremy, Sarr and Wemby.
@@Bro_Coy it s not just about x and o with murray. Dude is toxic…
@@gf5050 oh I see.
If DJ is toxic, SAS does not need him.
As a diehard Spurs fan. Growing up watching David, Timmy, Tony, Manu, Role players, Malik Rose, Bruce Bowen, Avery Johnson etc... (just opening with that so to prove im not just a Wembanyama fan.)
So with all that said. People don't appreciate Jeremy Sochans game (i see a lot of Bruce Bowen potential in Sochan, With Malik Rose hustle on the boards).
They Appreciate Keldon Johnson game more than Sochans and i honestly don't get it.
4:50 Calling Tony Parker a "defensive stalwart" is just so incorrect. He was easily the weakest defender pretty much every starting line-up he was a part of during his tenure with the Spurs, and often his "defensive" goal when going against a great point guard in the playoffs was to negate their offense by matching their scoring output. Even calling Manu a "defensive stalwart" is a reach, but it's almost not worth mentioning because of how much more egregious that label is when applied to Parker. People who warrant mention as San Antonio defensive stalwarts during their championship years, other than Duncan & Leonard, include Bruce Bowen, David Robinson, and Danny Green.
I kind of don't understand what the goal of this video was, and I'm not just saying that because of this one mistake. The video isn't breaking down Sochan's defense, or how he has or might work with Wembanyama on that end of the court (other than some very broad "watch out for these guys" statements). Sorry to be negative, but it was disappointing to click on a video about the Spurs' defensive potential moving forward just to have over half the runtime devoted to a random collection of "remember how good these guys were/are at defense?" snippets. Especially during the strangely long discussion of Jrue Holiday, who doesn't even play the same positions as Sochan and isn't really a natural choice for projecting what type of defender he could become. I understand the point was to make it clear that defensive stoppers are important, but, besides being an obvious take, doesn't fit the title of the video.
This is an awesome take. Gotta agree with you. And the way I see it, aside from Wemby and Sochan, they would still need at least 2 more great lockdown defenders to increase their chances of winning the loaded Western Conference. If they somehow will be able to get either Alex Sarr and/or Donovan Clingan in the 1st round of this year's NBA Draft -- these are 2 bigs with great defense (and offense) and then add up Ryan Dunn in the 2nd round, then there's no doubt the Spurs' defense will carry them once again straight to the top just like the old times!
Thank u. I agree. Who should they draft?
Alex Sarr, would be a great fit
Topic would b better
Topic would b better
Sohan and Vassel are key players as much as Wemby is.
No there not they inconsistent, toxic & not a good fit for wemby, they in there egos
My Cavaliers need to keep Mobley and Allen to compete with Wemby, Chet in the future.
The first 30 seconds got me as a sub forever 😂😂😂
Yesssssss
Well said!
Sochan haters are not spurs fans. Because they don’t watch the game at all
😂
Interesting.
The only thing SAS need for Sochan is to shoot the wide open 3’s.
If the SAS can draft Alex Sarr, they can let Jeremy play the Small Forward position.
If they can draft or trade for Risacher, much better.
The only thing they need is a legit point guard that can defend. For example, Dejountey Murray.
The starting five would be Wemby, Sarr,Jeremy, Devin or Risacher (can come off the bench) and Dejountay .
Dumb comment lol
@@Idiots221explain your reason
@@Idiots221, your comment is dumb and stupid.
@@vc7658, good question.
I think he won’t give a reason.
Fude what are you talking about here? Spurs is rank 4th best team in defense when ZEMBY is on the court BUT 28th when WEMBY is on the bench. Players don't come around the rim often when Wemby is on the court period
I thought the same during Sochan’s rookie season (great effort, lots of potential). But I’m quite disappointed watching him now. No, he’s not s good passer or PG. That’s not his role. But he’s not a good shooter, cutter or off-ball player either. Everytime he runs a fastbreak, it’s a gamble whether he can make a lay-up or just does something weird. If he was such a great defender, the Spurs should still have an OK def rating with Wemby off the floor. But it’s a disaster. Just going for the Rodman look doesn’t make you, well. Rodman.
Exactly😢 I agree and I’m an 11 year Spurs fan. Watched pretty much every spurs games
I have been a fan of the spurs for over 30 years now, and I have had the roughest time trying to understand and get behind Sochan...but this video really helped, because before this I was just saying, "In Pop we Trust"... over and over, and if Pop is all in on Sochan, then there is something there and I fully support him and the teams decision, and if he is the defensive piece we need to get over the top (like Bruce Bowen was for years, don't know why he wasn't mentioned...) then I'm really excited even more than before if that is possible!
I saw they as a power duo since day one. Sochan´s game will be like a fusion between Rodman and D´rose, in the future i can easily see he as one of the great 5 in spurs...along wemby, this draft add, some great trade and devin. Go Spurs Go!
I think the Spurs keep Sohan, and Vassell. I like KJ but I can see him getting traded. If they can somehow get Trae young at the 1, Vassel 2, Sohan 3, (If they can draft him) Alex Starr 4, Wemby 5. Keep Jones and Collins for veteran leadership on bench and maybe go get one or two more vets.
I truly think Trae Young would be a mistake for SA. Draft Topic at the 1. Sign Paul George at the 3. Keep Vassel, Sochan. Jones off the bench and you probably need some more scoring of the bench. Johnson would be good in that role, but he might have to go. Collins and Champagne, are expendable.
@@arthursummers7899 Paul George is a liability. He is inconsistant, ball dominate and getting old. Not a good match and not worth the money on his contract.
I don't really like alex sarr. I'd prefer zachary risacher With wemby.
Call me crazy, but with the height ordeal I think I’d prefer Lamelo Ball to Trae Young at this point
@@TorsteintheTitan PG can still score, he is mostly available and can be a good second option to Wemby, or first option if Wemby is off or injured. He can defend and he is a vet presence and he has no problem not being the #1 guy. Young is way more ball dominant, he makes bad decisions in clutch moments, and he is an actual liability on the defensive side. I'm saying all that and I like Young because I'm also a Hawks fan.
I gotta say , good vid but you forgot our main man in wing defense player in the early 2000's.
Bruce
Facts.
Kawhi is a two time dpoy brother but good video
Thank u 🙏
if only spurs can get alex sarr this draft, in few years they can have 3 elite defender to shout down !!
❤I am an 11 year Spurs fan. (Spurs is my life)
I saw below a spurs fan suggesting trading our 7th pick to the Magic’s Isaac. I love this move but I doubt Magic is letting go with their wonderful future Isaac just in exchange for a 7th pick this year consider how bad this year top 10 prospects are. (This year 1-10 are similar to previous year 13-23) While Isaac is a genius all nba defensive level player with one of the best PF body, who can also shoot the ball. Think about the odds of this year seventh pick being better than Isaac?? Nah.. most likely not.
Nevertheless, I agree that player like Isaac is the most needed addition the Spurs need. Having Isaac instead of Sochan at the 4 is the KEY TO WEMBY HEALTH. Why is that? Not everyone think of this. But to tell the utter truth, Wemby is very often by himself defending two guys under the rim every single night. It’s already a relatively dangerous (injury provoking) task for him to play Center position regardless of all scenarios. But Wemby now always shoulder up the pressure of defending more than one people within the paint by himself. And all the hustling rebound works and jumping works as well as defending enemies heavy Centers. Wemby needs his help for such “basic health” matter. Sochan is great defender only when he is guarding enemies 1-3 position stars, but not against 4-5. We can watch replays and check the defensive statistics of him guarding PF and C positions, he pretty much has the worst defensive number among starting PFs. Why is that, that’s because of Sochan’s 6”8 height and mediocre bounce, physics, wingspan, and lateral motors and weight.
Now you might understand what I mean. From this we can see getting long quick player who can defend really well within the paint area and ideally can also shoot the 3s is the most important key to help on Wemby’s health, we don’t want him always shouldering up the whole team’s defensive liability and pressure. Wemby is a non heavy a bit fragile 7”4! He would get injured!!!😢 that’s for real.
And from this, we can see how important Spurs defensive playings are for Wemby and his short term long term health. Therefore actually not only PF position, our second biggest need is of same importance regarding health, we need good strong defensive 1-3 position players (along with Sochan at 3 or take Sochan to bench if he is better than him).
This is crucial cus individuals guarding well will relieve most of the burden and pressure on Wemby when he is playing 5.
I truly think Wemby’s health is bigger than whether or not the spurs have a superstar point guard.
wemby and sochan in defense. wemby and vassel in offense.
Id like to keep Trae Jones as well hes a great backup PG. along with KJ ... everyone else can go
5:08 Actually had back to back defensive player of the years
I really like your videos
Thank u. More on the way
Nah we all appreciate sochan, he literally was making defensive plays in the last moments of the 4th quarter that lead to close games, of course all combined with wembys defense and 4th quarter clutch moments, sochan is just needed for us, and I hope he gets better with his ankle surgery
Plus vassel can’t forget about vassel and his improvement every year with mid range and his three point shot, these three are going to be trouble for the league
Imagine if G.Payton Jr. was available to join the spurs..... ELITE defense on guards, theres a highlight of just guards attempting to dribble thru his defense and just gets the ball poked away. Sohan can handle the wings, and Wemby can swat anything in the paint, even bats (which is a thing in san antonio hahah). plus GP2 is a very likeable guy and athletic as heck. but i think he's still on contract til 2025 to the GSW. i really dont understand contracts if they can be bought out or something. just my 2 cents.
Love it.
He's a dawg enough said just wait on it !!!
We need a real big man to rebound for us when wemby isn’t there. Like a Steven Adam’s
Sochan at the PG was an experiment, the kid just barely know how to dribble and the fans expected him to be Chris Paul 😂
How to tank without tanking. Pop is a genius ;)
But he accepted the role without complaints.
Though I read that he was so frustrated with himself at that time... 😅
@@JazzYachtrocker Well Pop knows they ain't winning, might as well teach these kids some new skill set.
Kawhi was a PF to in College barely know how to dribble.
wemby sochan and vessel are all untouchable everyone else we will hear offers for
not mamu its soooo brillant and he has the best connection with wemby of all team.
Definitely more Draymond then Rodman vibes, gonna be x factor for spurs
Sochan ainda será jogador 3D
This might be crazy, but I think there will be a few years in the future where the spurs could have the 1st and 2nd best defenders in the league in Wemby and Sochan

How do you make this video and NOT mention Bruce Bowen?! SHAMEFUL!
Need Topic
This dude just said he doesn't care if Wemby has 40 points LMAO. That's way more important than sochan defense. They also need sochan defense to win but your delusional to think Wemby performance isn't the main thing that will bring chips.
the point is, wemby wouldn't need to score 40 if all players are firing at all cylinders. That's not how spurs basketball works lol.
Bro he might not have vision but how u gonna miss a 7 4 foot player
I've watched well over half of the spurs games this season. Sochan has holes, just absolutely massive leaks, particularly offensively. There are times where I want Pop to pull him over to the sideline and pick stick'um on his hands, a la The Replacements. But he's also regularly tasked with defending the opposing teams best offensive weapons. He sometimes makes mistakes on defense. He's particularly weak on transition D, but in half court he's been better than solid. A lot of that is going to change as he gets older. You can see the progress from last year to this year.
I don't know if I would argue he's going to be the key to unlocking a championship, but I would absolutely agree that he has the potential to develop in to a top tier defender who flirts with all defense nods. The problem is going to be whether or not, in a 5 out offensively driven era of the NBA, his defense is going to be enough to overcome his lack of offense. One of the things that has happened in the last 20 years as the game evolved, no even average team has truly dead weight offensively on the floor any more. Top tier defenders still have to be able to shoot to provide the space necessary for your best offensive weapons to operate, and sochan's jumper is sketchy at best. You regularly see Sochan's defender sag into the paint to effectively double wemby when sochan has the ball on the 3 point line, frequently daring him to shoot. That is going to have to change.
completly agree with all the defensive holes u mentioned
Sarr, Resacher and Topic are all good additions to spurs.
But If we get raptor's pick,
how about go for magic's Isaac?
IMO,that's just like:
Spurs gets: Issac + 2024 magic's 1st round pick
Magic gets: raptor's pick + hornet 's pick + Malaki + Zach
If we gogogo lucky,
we may have the starters line like this:
Wemby
Isaac
Sochan
Vassell
Plus our own 2024 1st pick
Not for sure who we will go for this summer,
But I think it'll be OK if we have such defensive starters line.
I doubt Magic is letting go with their wonderful future Isaac just in exchange for a 7th pick this year consider how bad this year top 10 prospects are. While Isaac is a genius all nba defensive level player who can also shoot the ball.

who yall gon trade for trae young
Watch Luka end up on the Spurs after the Clippers beat the Mavericks in the first round.
not happening
Except Wemby is the defensive stopper for the Spurs. Sochan's defense as of right now doesn't impact the Spurs. Stats alone can back this up. Without Wemby on the floor Spurs has one of the worst defense in the league, if Sochan's defense is really that good then it shouldn't be that case. Also to add, the Spurs defensive anchor on Duncan era was Bruce Bowen, not Manu or Tony Parker. Very casual take man.
Spurs need pursue LaMelo Ball or Dejounte Murray this coming off-season 🤔🤔🤔
Pass.
Melo is injury-prone.
I already moved on from Murray.
Trae maybe
@@atbp828 Trae Young SCORING MACHINE but low FG & THREES, he's liability in DEFENSE. I know LaMelo Ball injury prone now but he need work out this summer to avoid any injury like Stephen Curry he's young career
Lamelo is injury prone and I don't see Charlotte giving him up. Not without us paying the price that I'm not sure we want to pay. I really wish Lonzo would get better but it doesn't look that way.... That's the guy we could get if he ever gets back to being truly healthy again. I think Chicago's about ready to give up on him.
🙊
"The San Antonio will become a champion soon NOT because Wemby but because of Sochan" Bwhahahahhahaha nice joke. Sochan is overrated defender, just above average defender.
casual take but ok
casual take
you’re acting like if a second year player being an “average defender” isn’t a really good thing. he only continue to get better. don’t jump on the bandwagon when that day comes
Sochan has the best motor on the team after Wemby in regard to the rest of the team. You can’t teach that. Watch closely or you just staring at Wemby. Some of the things Jeremy does are not on the stat sheet
@@Lab-Rat Motor doesn't equal to good defense. He makes a lot of mistakes and nowhere to be the top defender in the league.
LOL YOU CALLED TONY PARKER AND GINOBLI AT 29 WASNT THE DEFENDER HE WAS. STEPH CURRY A BETTER DEFENDER THAN TONY PARKER
lebron can guard all five positions :^)
True
sorry swish but ur take is wrong here. im hardcore spurs, i watch a lot of them too and sochan being elite defender is a MYTH only started with his hair colour/rodman association (and u actually fell for it, even in this vid). he s an average defender who gives some good effort. he s only 20 so yes, room to improve ofc
he ranks top 3 in the league for perimeter ISO defense metrics and since switching away from the PG experiment hes rapidly gone from one of the worst DEPMs in the league to a net positive.
hes already a phenomenal defender especially against wings and bigger guards and while he does struggle with smaller, quicker guards hes just scratching the surface because like you said, hes only 20.
@@SilentGhostSG where r these stats and metrics? I wanna check coz it doesn’t match the eye test. Spurs have been one of worst defensive team over last 2 yrs but we have top 3 iso defender and best blocker in the league…
@@gf5050 if Sochan dont passed your eye test, and you think is not elite defensive player at age 20, maybe you should start in NBA team managment, scout or analitycs dep
@@danteessa3062 it s called having an opinion. we r talking about sport here, it s lighthearted and there is NO truth, just opinions, deal with it instead of coming with fantasy nonsense or sarcasm. sochan is an okay defender, but is overrated. he aint rodman, and he s far from draymond (which should be his benchmark) either. yeah he is a 20 yrs old overrated defender in the worst defensive team over last 2 yrs, which he did not improve by his amazing defensive abilities (apparently). see i can do sarcasm too lol. maybe he ll be ok in 10yrs but who cares. that is my opinion. and if it doesnt pass your eye test and u think he s elite already (lol), maybe, just maybe u r biased, a nuthugger or u dont know bball as much as u think u do....i wouldnt be surprised if spurs trade sochan for a star vet if the opportunity arises. i actually hope so
Ikr he said Sochan a elite defender im like 🌚, bro was getting killed every good offensive player
we don't accuse sochan of not "wanting" to pass the ball to wemby, we only called him dumb and blind for not doing it
it's easy to say that from the couch
I'm not buying it. The Spurs defence shoudn't be so terrible. They have literally the best defensive player in the league, the best coach ever, and Devin Vassel as a starter, who was supposed to be a defensive specialist when he came into the league. If Sochan is a defensive prodigy, they should be at least passable. know it is weird to blame Sochan, and it isn't his fault, but there's something not adding up in San Antonio.
90% of the reason their defense is bad is because they lose the ball a ton on offense. That's what gets teams easy buckets and doesn't let them set up the defense. If you watched games you would know that. Also their defense has drastically improved over the last couple of months
@@blablablaa14 That is a really valid point. BUt their defence is still bottom of the league, particularly when Wemby sits. I'm just not seeing Sochan adding the vale he is supposed to.
I think there are many factors for that, but the main one has to be that they are too freaking young. They have positions where one mistake undos everything they do right, and also the bad defenders are TERRRIBLE, Malaki, Devin and Keldon have had big minutes and they have been so so bad. Add to that that we don't have a second rim protector and that's expected. As the video states, Sochan is 20, wait until they get in sync and add a couple of veterans and the defense will improve a lot.
@@michaelmcphee2006 Their defense is bottom of the league if you look at the entire season. Not if you look at a more recent times. This is a young team, they lose by 30 multiple times when they started. No one knew how to play off Wemby. Wemby had no restrictions on him as well so he did wild stuff regularly. If you're not seeing Sochan value, go back and watch the last Suns match and tell me KD wasn't hurt by Sochan guarding him. You don't always see impact immediately, sometimes it takes a year or two to really see things click. If you want proof look at how the Wolves were not good defensively last year with the same roster and how much better they got this year. And yeah their defense is awful when Wemby sits cause Sochan sits with him and they bring Zach Collins and Cedi Osman, the worst defenders you can have to replace them and they lose by 10+ points in 5 minutes. That's the Spurs silently tanking. Its the same reason they let Sochan play just half of games last year because he was damaging their tanking work
i agree. a combo of youth/inexperienced and low talent imo...it will change soon, also they r gaining experience every game and r improving
1:29 Dude watched FIVE games in row and made this video, saying Sochan not passing to Wemby is not truth.
LMFAO. I watched every single Spurs game and I can tell you that: Yes, he passes the ball but he also misses lots of wide open and lobs to Wemby.
They are currently last in the Western conference, and now you're talking not just about championships but domination. Wtf are you on? So if they become no. 1 in the league at some point, they now dominate the whole solar system?
Agree, nonsense
you mean Jeremy Sohass ?
He is ok I guess but still a little selfish ut sorry to say this he will never be better than wemby..
LOLLLLLLLL you are so brilliant to announce this. No one will ever be above wemby but Sochan can be the chief's lieutenant like Green at the Warriors.
sign jaime jaquez jr, bol bol, tre young and draft aj dbyantsa because i won a 3 peat with them on 2k
Can’t take Jaime From my Miami Heat tho. Lol
Is there an emoji to laugh instead of like? Because this video is a complete joke 😅
Bro just stop 1 minute into the video, u really think sochan can win a ring without wemby?? u crazy bro ... bro they are the worst defense with him last year and with him this year too wtf u talk about bro ...
They need to draft Flagg, Sochan is not the Man, It is what it is if Sochan was the Man the Spurs would at least won 1/2 their games. I just call it like I see it.
They're all playing out of position Pops looking for development not wins.
stop it sochan dont have elite defense. just trade him and picks for m. bridges
Bro is a literal casual
Lol
isiot ..sochan is .pure trash
😂
You the idiot right here
