Is Jeremy Sochan the next Ben Simmons?

[@cxowmoo3096]

I think the goal with the experiment was to spur the growth of Sochan to be a point forward more reminiscent of Draymond with the excellent defense and good passing vision.

[@mickiemallorie]

My argument has been Pop and coaching team saw the level of patience, and team making ability in Kyle Anderson and saw potential for Sochan. You can also look at Derrick White as well...the Spurs just have really intelligent guys on their teams that can make great decisions on the court that win games in little ways. What Kyle can do that actually not many players can do, is slow the game down and orchestrate offense and defense. Jeremy having this potential ability, plus being more athletic and a better scorer, gives you an amazing third option and some one you can't plan for impacting the team. People will point out this "experiment" is already done, but I don't think Jeremy at point was ever the plan. The Spurs never intended to be a winning team. They aren't done using the draft...the figured why not give some of our guys some new challenges to lay the groundwork for areas we want them to go. They want Jeremy as a point forward, not a point guard.

they really put sochan to an uncomfortable position to develop. now we seeing those flashes of playmaking and defensive reads.

@@pgiivanlennardesguerra8300 as a leader and/or coach, you have to put your team into uncomfortable positions. You grow from discomfort, struggle and mistakes.

@@mickiemallorie yeah i just hate how some of the people trashes sochan for a coach decision.

[@mickiemallorie]

@@pgiivanlennardesguerra8300 oh I agree. One player people aren't thinking of...is Manu Ginobli. Imagine Manu at 20...I'm sure he had a lot of that raw playmaking ability

Ben Simmons could be a great role-player, like Sochan most probably will be (maybe even a "star-roleplayer" like Rodman was). The problem lies only in the clash with expectations.
