ANALYSIS
The power forward will undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair the ankle injury and will get an early head start on his offseason. The Spurs hope that Sochan will be ready for the 2024-25 season, when he should continue to serve as a cornerstone player in the organization's rebuilding effort. Though San Antonio quickly pulled the plug on Sochan as its starting point guard earlier this season, the second-year player looked more comfortable upon moving back to his natural spot at forward and showed some modest growth during his sophomore campaign. Over his 74 appearances, Sochan averaged 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 three-pointers 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks across 29.6 minutes per game. Though his field-goal percentage fell from 45.3 percent as a rookie to 43.8 percent in 2023-24, he made dramatic improvements in his efficiency from the free-throw line (69.8 percent to 77.1 percent) and from three-point range (24.6 percent to 30.8 percent).
