NBA - Main

I love Sochan. People talk about defending 1-5 a lot these days, but basically none of the guys in that conversation actually do it. Sochan legitimately can.

There’s a lot of Dennis Rodman in him, and while I’d never expect him to reach those levels of defense and rebounding(Rodman was arguably the GOAT at both) he has that amazing blend of instincts, tools, toughness, and tenacity.

Offensively he’s got a lot of work to do, but he possesses a great blend of athleticism, handling, and vision for a guy his size. While I’m not sure he’s a real PG, I think he could be a great playmaking forward maybe like a Lamar Odom.

The jumper in particular needs a lot of work, but I don’t think the problem is a lack of touch and the Spurs have a great history of developing mechanics. Given Sochan’s work ethic and willingness to listen, learn, and experiment I believe he’ll figure it out.
