The NBA rookie extension deadline came and went, with the San Antonio Spurs failing to sign Jeremy Sochan to a new deal. Although surprising, it was the right call.
While Sochan is a fan favorite and has the potential to be a game-changing Swiss Army knife, his median outcome is that of a backup power forward. In fact, he has essentially been boxed into that role, given his size and the Spurs' off-season moves.
At 6-8, he has more than enough size to play power forward and can play center in spurts. However, San Antonio wisely chose to upgrade that position by bringing in Luke Kornet.
