Meanwhile in Philadelphia it seems the owners are willing to build it with their own money in the center of the city, and will add affordable housing with it, and no one wants it(correct me if I’m wrong I’ve been out of the city for a few years now)

One of the most interesting HoF debates out there
He has the accolades for sure - All-Star, 2x All-Defense, 4x Champ, Finals MVP, Olympic Gold, World Championship Gold
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.
I’m not comparing, I’m just noting another similar situation that’s caused a lot of debate
