"Taking a flier on Sochan would seem like a low-risk upside play. He was the No. 9 pick in the NBA Draft less than four years ago; perhaps they could unlock his potential in a new situation and pick up a talented forward for nothing? Fat chance. Jeremy Sochan is washed up already For starters, the reason that the Spurs moved on from Sochan was that his complete and utter lack of shooting and scoring ability made him unplayable."
"The 6'8" forward is a career 28.7 percent 3-point shooter and is down to 25.7 percent this year. His free-throw shooting isn't hiding a budding shooter, either, as he is hitting just 68.8 percent from the stripe. Perhaps he is an interior force? That's a negative, Ghost Rider. Sochan is hitting a career-best 59.4 percent inside the arc, but taking only 6.4 attempts per 36-minutes from inside."
Toronto has a history of pursuing former Spurs bigs and long, versatile forwards who can defend multiple positions and handle the ball. Jeremy Sochan, a recent Top-10 pick waived by San Antonio, appears to fit that profile but struggles significantly as a scorer and shooter. He is a career 28.7 percent 3-point shooter and 68.8 percent from the free-throw line, with this season's long-range mark down to 25.7 percent. Sochan posts a career-best 59.4 percent inside the arc but takes few attempts there and cannot consistently create shots or assists. He remains a solid defender but lacks offensive upside, making him a risky, low-return signing.
