Official Sochan 3 point tracker

[KobesAchilles]

First game played in the season and Sochan came out on fire… He was a blazing 1 for 2 on 3 point shots. Will he make more than 50? So far he is on track.

Total 3s made: 1

 

[PanameSpur]

I think a more interesting tracker would be "How many 3s has Sochan passed on?"

I counted 2 but probably missed some

Agreed the worse problem is his reluctance to shoot

 

[BacktoBasics]

No matter what he does it seems no one is happy. The guy played within himself. Hustled, made plays, played defense, didn’t jack up dumb shots.

He was a solid role player. Exactly what we need of him.

why do we need him to shoot though? Think that question was never answered well enough.. Why is it that we, out of all teams, need to have everyone be capable of making triples, when we have the most dominant post player? I mean, i get that people will pack the pain because of it, but that doesn't mean ypu have to punish them by making triples.. I mean when shaq was in his prime, that didn't make kobe a less than awful 3 point shooter, now did it?

You have to shoot. At the very least you have to show that you’ll shoot the open shot. Otherwise they won’t respect it and there’s no reason to come off a trap or double team.

Doesn’t necessarily mean he has to be a bomber but you have to at least be a threat to shoot it.

Sochan needs to shoot any open 3.. once Wemby rotate out of a double- or triple- team

 

[RC_Drunkford]

If he goes 1/3 every game that would be good enough. Right now he's 1/2

 

[brazil]

yes at this point, quantity matters even on a bad %

 

[picnroll]

First game back in ages. Great defense and extremely efficient offense. If every Spur was that efgicient they’d be walking away with wins. Shooting form on the 3s taken looked better. Esrly days but Sochan haters -1 so far,

Because if he misses or passes on open 3s teams sag off of him and double team Wemby, clog the paint for Fox / Harper / Castle, that negates whatever value he brings elsewhere. This is especially true if you have dominant post players and guards who thrive attacking the rim, they need spacing to be effective and Sochan makes things more difficult when a role player should make them easier. Kobe & Shaq was a different era, if they were playing nowadays for sure you'd have them surrounded by snipers as a priority. Bottom line as we'd say here in Argentina this is a "short blanket" problem, you cover your head you uncover your feet and viceversa, problem in this case is you're opting between covering your head and torso (Wemby, Fox, Castle, Harper) or your pinkie (Sochan). Not sure about you, but it's clear to me what the priorities are.

The answer is because we have a fairly frail point-center and he can’t get into the paint the way a bowling ball like jokic can. That’s all. When our paint gets clogged, it is a bigger crisis than it is for any other team because we need our star to get to occupied spots and he’s not strong enough to do it without help.

And so then it goes back to - we are building a team around Wemby - not Jeremy. And ancillary players (like Jeremy) need to adapt to the main attraction or they can go somewhere else.

Good to know that Sochan is equal to Kobe lol. I guess we were watching full different Laker teams since when Shaq was double teamed he passed out to Fox, and Horry, and Fisher, and Rice that hit open shots

You're not wrong on your initial point, there really isn't anything Sochan can do, he is who he is.

I'm not the type dreaming of people doing 180s, it can happen but this is uer rare.

His profile isn't adapted to the team's need, he needs to find a team full of shooters that need a cutter and offensive rebounder.

We need higher IQ, better passing and decent shooter. It'll never be Sochan.

He'll have decent outings like last game but he'll never be reliable. We'll see again tonight vs Houston how opp make sure Sochan gets the ball as much as possible, for a reason.

Sochan wasn't "great"on defense, he was good 1vs1 but had again countless dumb decisions, over helping when he shouldn't and freeing his man ho got easy buckets/lobs.

Not sure a lot of you are watching players without the ball. It's often where they can hurt or help the team the most.

If Sochan plays 80-90% the way he played in his first game back we have the exact type role player we need. Same for the way Keldon and Vassell have been playing.

This is looking like a respectable bench for once.

I agree on Keldon.

That's it.

Vassell for a cple good games is back to his habits/who he really is, he's a terrible decision maker and literally refuses to pass the ball/play make (when he has shown that when he wants - i.e 2nd half of wemby's rookie season probably bc Pop forced him to - he can be very good at it.
He's a great shooter technically but his terrible shots selections make him a bad one in the end.

Sochan was decent (if that is a "great game" for you guys...) but it wasn't his first, wait and see if I'm wrong but I have zero trust in him, he still got the same brain.

Don’t get me wrong. Sochan has a long way to go to earn trust.

I used to be a lot more optimistic about people, but getting old tough me having a "prove me wrong" attitude is actually healthier lol

 

[BatManu20]

Thought Sochan look good for his first game tbh. Still reluctant to shoot the 3, but hopefully that confidence grows as he gets more acclimated to this group.

Sochan won't average 16 points a game coming off the bench, but if he can play like he did against LAL as a bench guy, we'll all be very happy. Rather than to go on and on about whether or not I think he can maintain this... I'm just going to say I hope he does (with the caveat that he needs to rebound like he did last year, not like he did on Wednesday)

Yeah but how can you be a SpursTalk Bro if you don't pile onto a single player about everything?

Ownership agrees with Spurstalk bros more than you. If Sochan could hit open shots he would’ve gotten his extension. He has this season to prove that he can or else he is a Wizard or a Jazz

 

[Bodhi]

Idk about anyone else but I was cringing as he started to try to trash talk Luka.

 

[CGD]

Can someone at the game tonight report back on the rotation of the ball on his shot? Hopefully his fixed that nasty sidewinder
