On Wednesday the news broke that the Spurs would be waiving Jeremy Sochan after failing to find a new home for the 2022 lottery pick before this year’s trade deadline.
It was an intriguing yet understandable move by San Antonio. Sochan had lost his minutes to Harrison Barnes, Keldon Johnson and Carter Bryant over the course of this season; there weren’t many to go around to begin with given the Spurs’ glut of backcourt talent and the domineering presence of Victor Wembanyama in the frontcourt. But Sochan flashed enough skills in his first three years as a regular rotation player to believe he could make a positive impact in different circumstances.
