Because the calendar rounds the nook to the autumn months and because the brilliant glow fades from the final Spurs-themed Corridor of Fame weekend for some time and Wemby’s arrival, the annual ramp-up of NBA group and participant projections commenced this week in earnest.
ESPN’s NBA Insiders rolled out their “NBA Sophomores to look at in 2023-24” and, whereas Jeremy Sochan was wholeheartedly anticipated by many people, Jamal Collier recognized the second-year swingman as his breakout candidate, noting particularly:
Sochan was listed amongst extra heralded individuals like Charlotte’s Mark Williams, Pacers’ guard Benedict Mathurin, and Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe.
Moreover, tasked with singling out an ‘under-the-radar’ candidate anticipated to be a key contributor for his group, Andrew Lopez led off that dialogue noting (in regards to the group being in purgatory for a while):
Amidst a dismal end to the ‘22-23 marketing campaign, Branham asserted himself within the scorebook with three-level capturing efforts that portend a darkish future for his defender and San Antonio’s opponents on the offensive finish.
We’re solely 20 days out from the primary official Spurs recreation motion, Pounders! The season can’t arrive quickly sufficient.
