And Grayson. And Goodwin. And Gillespie.

Ishbia has a type.

Comedy gold.

Wait why is that funny

Apparently we’re also interested in Bobby Portis. Suns are trying to build the ultimate troll team

Maybe it is simply Nick Richards

Even though his stint at PG was a complete disaster, Sochan can help distribute the ball a little bit, so that’s something. But yeah, his offensive bag is very limited to say the least.

I think he has potential to be a good role player. Just think his time has ran his course here. Just doesn’t really fit the Spurs anymore. I really hope a fresh start somewhere else where he can get minutes will do him good.

I think there’s a world where Jeremy can be a useful piece on offense. Last year when San Antonio had most of their offense based around motion and swinging the ball around the horn, he added a lot of value as a slasher and someone that could catch the ball and quickly dribble and pass to keep the offense moving

He’s improved a lot as a finisher and he’s a solid offensive rebounder

In the Spurs current system where everything is built around, always having a downhill attacking guard heading straight to the rim, he’s just not nearly as useful

A team with lots of Shooters that needs a highly competent switchable defender who’s going to be smart on offense, very low usage, and really thrive as cutter and fast break player could definitely find use for him

Nick Richards is just sitting on the bench. So.

Development and growth is always possible for young guys. It wasn’t that long ago that Dillon Brooks was a good defender who just laid bricks every day. His TS% has improved significantly since leaving Memphis (though he’s still a below average scorer).

I mean, our power forward is 6’2 Jordan Goodwin. And I mean that in a great way. A bit of defensive size to throw in as a wildcard/injury, fine with me

His injuries plus the Spurs getting a large influx of young talent so quickly really just put him at a disadvantage. I think given the right role he could be a valuable glue piece but his tenure here lately has been a series of unfortunate events for him specifically.

for nick richards i’d buy. thought i wouldn’t have high hopes, i used to be big on him earlier in his career but it seems like his potential fizzled out after injuries. haven’t really watched him but i’m guessing he isn’t the same post injury?

This guy had defensive player of the year abilities on him. How’s he been lately?

A non shooting 4 would completely tank the suns offense and would make no sense.

Isaac and sochan dont help the suns

Yea I want Saddiq on the squad, pretty much a bigger Royce with better scoring

Only comment here that’s making me second guess this

Awful fit imo

He can’t shoot he would destroy the offense when he’s on the floor

No Suns wanted either Harper or Castle I think

He isnt THAT bad but yes liability on offense. The worst shooter is Dyson Daniel’s (11%) whereas Sochan shoots 26% from 3 this season lol. Still very bad ofc. Sochan is actually shooting 2% better from 3 than Ja Morant this year for reference even if lol wildly different players and seasons. His biggest Weakness is when teams have someone to focus on defense, like Wemby and Fox, then they just sag off Sochan like teams do Amen. But Sochan is great for culture, will do anything the coaches ask him to do so Locker room wise I think he’s a great fit anywhere

What do you mean over, guy is only 22. He still has time to develop his shot

If you’re giving up Nick Richards then why tf not

Dude, Nick Richards is literally just sitting on the bench

People would want Jeremy because the league is filled with plenty of examples of guys who come into the NBA as young raw development pieces, and eventually figure it out in their mid-twenties and become solid NBA role players or even more

And at the end of the day he’s 22, already a really high level defender, with a little bit of play-making on ball handling in his game

He’s not the worst shooter in the league, particularly if you look at forwards. But yes, he’s definitely an offensive negative.

But if you’re a team that can get him for essentially someone that’s not playing, and have a super low risk opportunity to invest in a a high-level young defensive forward, there’s plenty of teams, particularly rebuilding ones, that I could see being interested in taking a flyer on him

If you’re talking about which Contender would want him right now? Then yeah valid. He’s simply too limited. Offensively to be someone worthy of high level minutes on a good team at this moment in time

But he’s absolutely still young enough to be viewed as a development piece, particularly for those who followed him during the draft process and know just how much of a late bloomer he was, and how raw he was coming into the NBA. Him being viewed as a second contract player on draft night was not a super controversial perspective
