这位马刺队三年级的侧翼球员在充满挑战的赛季中不断进步。
欢迎来到Pounding the Rock的2024-25赛季球员回顾！本系列将着眼于那些与 圣安东尼奥马刺队 签有保障合同，并且出场时间可观或扮演重要角色的球员（因此不包括双向合同球员，因为我们今年几乎没有看到他们，也不包括被交易走的球员）。
索汉(Jeremy Sochan)
2024-25赛季数据：54场比赛，11.4分，6.5个篮板，53.5%投篮命中率（场均8.7次出手）
合同状态：剩余1年，700万美元（有资格续签新秀合同）
年龄：21岁
索汉(Jeremy Sochan)尚未在他的NBA生涯中找到稳固的立足点……而且这并不完全是他的错。连续两年，索汉被迫扮演一个并不完全适合他优势的角色。他曾在第二个赛季尝试打控球后卫，而今年，当马刺队的大个子球员深度突然枯竭时，他又被推上了替补中锋的位置。经历这一切，索汉展现了他为何是马刺队未来极具价值的瑞士军刀。
赛季初，当他被允许作为侧翼防守者和空切手出场时，索汉打出了生涯最佳表现。尽管受到伤病困扰，但在全明星赛前的33场比赛中，他场均得到11.7分，7.2个篮板和2.5次助攻，投篮命中率为54.5%，三分球命中率为34%（场均1.4次出手）。截止日之后，由于他的角色每天都在变化，这些数据略有下降。虽然他的进攻时有时无，但他的努力和防守能力始终如一。
索汉仍然是马刺队最强硬的单防球员，并迎接了艰难对位的挑战。他的身高、力量和运动能力帮助他跟上联盟中一些最优秀的得分手，并使他能够在担任小球中锋时也能站稳脚跟。他越来越善于在无球状态下出现在正确的位置，并努力穿过掩护来干扰射手和空切者。他是马刺队本赛季进步最大的防守者。
他在进攻端也开始看起来更好。索汉打出了他职业生涯中效率最高的投篮赛季，依靠空切、传球和补篮得分。他在3英尺内的投篮命中率达到了职业生涯最高的70.7%。由于他担任控球后卫的经历，他在传球和控球方面显得很自信。他的三分球命中率与上赛季持平，而他的罚球命中率有所下降，但很明显，他今年正在进行一些技术动作上的调整。
他远距离的跳投看起来更好了。结果还不尽如人意，但他看起来在投篮时更有信心和流畅。问题是：马刺队还能让另一位不擅长投篮的球员在文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)身边打多久？索汉的其他优势是否弥补了他一个明显的进攻缺陷？
展望未来
索汉有资格在本赛季休赛期续签新秀合同。如果马刺队未能与他达成协议，他将在下个赛季结束后成为一名受限制自由球员。索汉似乎是马刺队正在打造的多功能、防守型球队的重要组成部分，这支球队拥有像文班亚马、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)和福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)这样的球员。但这是他NBA生涯中第一次替补出场的次数多于首发。那么，马刺队愿意为一名长期替补球员支付多少代价呢？
与索汉类似类型的侧翼球员的新秀续约合同范围从极端到合理不等。德尼·阿夫迪亚(Deni Avdija)在他的第三个NBA赛季后签下了一份划算的4年5500万美元的合同，他场均得到9.2分，6.4个篮板，三分球命中率仅为29.7%。杰登·麦克丹尼尔斯(Jaden McDaniels)是一名防守型侧翼，在第三个赛季之前一直挣扎于三分球，当时他的三分球命中率为39.8%，并获得了一份5年1.31亿美元的合同。
索汉的情况更接近阿夫迪亚而不是麦克丹尼尔斯。他缺乏空间能力将限制他在首发阵容中与福克斯和文班亚马并肩作战的长期潜力。不过，他是一位有价值的防守者和替补席上的火花塞，拥有充沛的精力和篮板能力。此外，他与文班亚马之间有很好的协同作用——在他们一起出战的483分钟里，马刺队的进攻效率为110.6，防守效率为107.1（净效率为3.5）。这应该促使圣安东尼奥马刺队寻求与索汉达成一份负担得起的续约合同。
以有利的条件与索汉续约应该是马刺队本赛季休赛期的首要任务之一。由于福克斯和最终的文班亚马这两位接近顶薪的球员在阵容中，资金将会很紧张。圣安东尼奥的工资帽将是未来决策的一个重要因素。以合理的代价获得一名具有一定位置通用性的优秀防守球员，将有助于他们未来在组建争冠阵容时拥有灵活性。
最佳表现
12月19日对阵亚特兰大老鹰队：20分，8个篮板，4次助攻，并在加时赛中完成一次关键抢断，帮助球队获胜。
最终评分：B+
接下来：凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)

2024-25 Spurs Player Reviews: Jeremy Sochan
The Spurs’ third-year wing continued to improve in a season filled with adversity.
Welcome to Pounding the Rock’s 2024-25 player reviews! The series will look at the players who finished the season with the San Antonio Spurs on guaranteed contracts and who played consequential minutes and/or a vital role (so no two-way players because we hardly saw them this year, and no players who were traded away).
Jeremy Sochan
2024-25 stats: 54 games, 11.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 53.5 FG% on 8.7 attempts
Contract Status: 1 year, $7 million remaining (eligible for rookie extension)
Age: 21
Jeremy Sochan has yet to find solid footing in his NBA career… and it’s not totally his fault. For two years in a row, Sochan has been forced to fill a role that is not 100% suited to his strengths. There was the point guard experiment in his second season, and then this year, he was thrust into a backup center role when the Spurs’ big men depth suddenly dried up. Through it all, Sochan showed why he’s a valuable Swiss-Army man for the Spurs’ future.
Early in the season, when he was allowed to play as a wing defender and cutter, Sochan was having a career season. Despite dealing with injuries, he averaged 11.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while shooting 54.5% from the field and 34% from three (on 1.4 attempts) in 33 games before the All-Star break. After the deadline, those numbers dipped a bit as his role changed night to night. While his offense came and went, his effort and defensive ability were constants.
Sochan continues to be the Spurs’ toughest 1-on-1 defender and rose to the challenge of difficult matchups. His length, strength and athleticism help him stay with some of the best scorers in the league and allow him to hold his own when tasked with playing small-ball center. He’s getting better at being in the right spots off the ball and fighting through screens to contest shooters and cutters. He was the Spurs defender who progressed the most this season.
He started to look better offensively, too. Sochan had his most efficient shooting season of his career, living off of cuts, dump-offs offs and put-backs. He shot a career-best 70.7% from 3 feet and in. He looked confident passing and handling the ball thanks to his year at point guard. His three-point percentage remained the same as last season, and his free-throw percentage dropped, but it’s clear that he was going through some mechanical changes this year.
His jump shot from deep looks better. The results aren’t quite there yet, but he seems more confident and smooth taking the shot. The question is: how long can the Spurs play another non-shooter next to Victor Wembanyama? Do Sochan’s other strengths make up for his one glaring offensive flaw?
Looking ahead
Sochan is eligible for the rookie scale contract this offseason. If the Spurs don’t reach an agreement with him, he’ll become a restricted free agent after next season. Sochan seems to be an important part of the versatile, defensive team the Spurs are building with players like Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, and De’Aaron Fox. But for the first time in his NBA career, he came off the bench more than he started. So, what is the price the Spurs are willing to pay for a long-term bench piece?
Examples for rookie-scale extensions for wings with a similar profile to Sochan range from extreme to reasonable. Deni Avdija signed a bargain 4-year, $55M deal after his third NBA season in which he averaged 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, and shot just 29.7% from three. Jaden McDaniels was a defensive wing who struggled from three until his third season, when he shot 39.8% from deep, and earned a 5-year, $131M contract.
Sochan profiles closer to Avdija than McDaniels. His inability to space the floor will limit his long-term potential alongside Fox and Wemby in the starting lineup. Still, he’s a valuable defender and spark plug of the bench with his energy and rebounding. Plus, he has good synergy with Wembanyama — in their 483 minutes together, the Spurs had a 110.6 offensive rating and 107.1 defensive rating (3.5 net). That should drive San Antonio to pursue an affordable extension with Sochan.
Getting Sochan on a favorable extension should be one of the Spurs’ top priorities this offseason. Money will be tight with two near-max players on the roster in Fox and eventually Wembanyama. San Antonio’s cap sheet will be a big factor in future decisions. Getting a good defensive player with some positional versatility on a good deal will help give them the future flexibility to shape the roster into a contender.
Top performance
Dec. 19 vs. the Atlanta Hawks: 20 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and a clutch steal in an overtime win.
Final grade: B+
