I hate being that guy, but this game just showed why Sochan struggles when he's sharing the floor with Wemby.
His points came from hustle plays, easy baskets while wide open in the paint, a couple of layups over guards and a few jumpshots when he was dared to shoot.
His hustle and rebounding was great, he also took advantage of Phoenix's disgusting transition defense by pushing the ball after rebounds, but that's about it.
Nothing spectacular we already haven't seen.
It sounds like I'm hating, but a lot of those wild, random layups went in last night and they won't go in most of the time.
He scored 26 on 19 shots, nothing crazy in today's league.
Two of the main issues still persist if he's to play extended minutes with Wemby. He's not a good passer and he can't shoot.
He obviously has a better mentality than most of our roster because he's always competing hard and trying to improve on his obvious flaws, but if those flaws persist, he'll never be a starter on a good team.
I still think he's got a lot of room for improvement, but it feels like he'd be best suited for Keldon's 6th man role next season.
We need players who can pass the ball well and are legit threats behind the arc.
Sochan loses most of his value when he's not one of the first options, which sounds ridiculous considering his scoring flaws.
If only Devin had his mentality, he'd be a way better player.
