yeah man KBD really needs those starter minutes instead of sochan lmao
I didn’t look at it as load management. Just that there’s no rush in bringing someone back and it gives other players the opportunity to get in and be evaluated. Especially with us taking looks at cast offs.

The mamus and Barlows of the world do…… not rocket science
then let sochan play and give those guys KBDs minutes
Sochan is overrated. Not a strong rebounder for a PF and a poor shot blocker and steals numbers are also low.
He doesn't jump well for his size.
He didn't help the worst defense in the league at all.
Why is he considred such a great defensive player. I've seen quicker players blow past him and players burying 3 pointers over him. He doesn't jump well.
A very overrated player. A solid starter on a good team but no future all star.
Nothing quite like evaluating a glue guy with few, to no actual pieces on the team to glue together. GTFOH with this lamebrain take.
Glue guy ha ha
Spurs need to add real future stars.
So what exactly are we pretending, that a free agent superstar is going to willingly come to S.A. or that drafting a superstar doesn't require an extraordinary amount of luck especially with the recent changes in the draft to protect against tanking?
Sochan is going to be a great to excellent player on a team with talent in same vein as Diaw, Rodman and Draymond. Alone they're not going to win anything, but mix in a shooter, a good finishing big, a few slashing wings, they shine.
Two teams with top 10 picks last year decided to tank. The team with the lower pick held their player out for most of the latter parts of the season, because his play was working against the tank. The one with the higher pick let their pick play away, and plummeted in the standings.
Sharpe was playing great. They sat him against he Spurs. They couldn't take the chance to beat the Spurs so Sharpe sat.
Portland sat their top players and gave Sharpe minutes for player development and he shined.
you're like 200 years old and you still rate players by boxscore lol
No, I rate players on what I see.
Sharpe has more offensive upside than Sochan, he's more athletic and has better form on his shot, looks smoother.
Sochan plays stiff and doesn't jump well for a PF and his blocked shots and rebounds support this.
It's all about BBIQ. Sochan is just fine for the spurs. Sharpe is more physical but let's just wait how he'll react and adapt when teams will start to scout and adjust to his game.
Sharpe is going to be a Lonnie Walker/Ben McLemore type: mad hops, a buttery jumper, but nothing else.
Then you should contact an optometrist.
you're shouting into the ether with Rascal. they could draft god and he'd have a problem with it.
Sochan's defensive rating is (119.2) 9th best on a roster that is the worst defensive team in the league.
The idea that he's such a strong defender didn't play out this year.
Guarding the best players, typically out of position. But yeah you would think it would be better.
Rascal…….relax. Everyone with a brain can see Sochans a player…..stop being a contrarian
Congrats to the kid. Good start to (hopefully) a long and successful career in Silver & Black.
seems right. glad he got some recognition, but cracking first team was a tall task with a pretty strong first year class. not sure if they go positionally or not, but Kessler at C over Duren makes sense
hard to argue against Banchero at one of the forward spots. keegan murray was a contributing starter on a solid playoff team, though that was the path for Sochan to crack first team. Keegan also played 80 games vs Sochan's 56. while some players look better on bad teams by being able to put up numbers (i think keldon falls in this category), sochan looks like the type of player that would thrive more and look better when surrounded by talent, which makes his rookie showing more impressive.
Ivey/Duren/Sochan being second teamers speaks to the strength of the class tbh

Uh... got 9/10 right, and the one I missed was Nembhard in whose place Tari Eason was named. In my defense, Tari Eason came up 10th in voting, and Nembhard 11th by just 1 point, so I didn't do too bad
Well, Ivey came 6th in total voting, so he did end up making 2nd team and almost 1st.For 2nd team? He sure is. Doesn't deserve it, but might even make 1st team. Empty stats and hype go a long way into all rookie teams.
I'm not sure why Sharpe received any votes for 2nd team.

I like that Jaylin Williams got a First Team vote. Probably someone got him confused with his teammate. Lol.
