The San Antonio Spurs may have already played Jeremy Sochan for the final time. The 22-year-old did not get a contract extension in the offseason, and his playing time was immediately sporadic. The 22-year-old has been a DNP-CD in three straight games, including wins over the Lakers and Thunder. San Antonio has no reason to bring him back into the fold anytime soon.
Questions about his role are not new. The 6’8 forward is a subpar shooter and less than ideal fit next to Victor Wembanyama in the frontcourt. Sochan has improved every year, but the Spurs are balancing fit and spending concerns.
