Why the Victor Wembanyama-Jeremy Sochan pairing might not work long term

Why the Victor Wembanyama-Jeremy Sochan pairing might not work long term

Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports Sochan’s lack of shooting creates issues for the entire team and could make him the wrong fit next to a dominant frontcourt player. The Spurs have gone through some big changes this season, designed to solve issues, both self-inflicted and otherwise. Since solidifying what is now the regular starting lineup, they seemed to find some success until recently, when a problem with the Jeremy Socha-Victor Wembanyama pairing reared its head. In simple terms, Wembanyama has been playing in hard mode for most of his time at center, as it’s...

Highlights: Bad Night For Celtics and Bucks

Photo by Stacy Revere/ A rough night for the NBA East’s top seeds, as two Blazers legends square off. A quiet night around the league, with just two games being played. However, the underdogs ruled, and we got to visit with a few former Blazers. First, the day after beating the Blazers, the Atlanta Hawks beat the NBA’s top seed Boston Celtics in a wild overtime (watch just for the last ten seconds). It’s the second time in a week Atlanta has beaten Boston, after completing a 30-point comeback against them a few days ago. The Hawks and Celtics could meet in the...

Rapid Recap: Bucks 100, Pelicans 107

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports Milwaukee can’t crack New Orleans’ seventh-ranked defense Though they almost rallied from an eighteen-point first-half hole, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center tonight, barely hitting the century mark in a slog of a game. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 35, but just three of those came in the fourth. Zion Williamson notched 28 for the victors.

Mikal Bridges gets schooled in Brooklyn

The Nets star took a morning off recently to spend time at a Brooklyn public school and as he taught, he learned. The Brooklyn Nets are trying to build a new generation of fans in the borough, fans who grow up with the black-and-white and what better way than to have one of the team’s stars show up bright and early at a local school to serve as a substitute teacher for the day. Back on March 11, the Monday after the Nets beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in Cleveland, Bridges traveled from his Manhattan apartment to PS 134 in the Kensington section of Brooklyn south of Prospect...

Dejounte Murray nails game-winner in overtime win over Boston Celtics, 123-122

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ After mounting a historic 30 point comeback on Monday night, the Hawks faced off against the Celtics once again on Thursday. The Hawks ran with Dejounte Murray, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Vit Krejci, De’Andre Hunter, and Clint Capela as their starters, and this one finished in an even more thrilling fashion. The Hawks turned it over on their first two possessions. After Jaylen Brown scored the first four points, a Clint Capela turnaround hook shot would be the first basket of the game for the Hawks. The Celtics led 16-11 seven minutes into the game,...

Game Preview #73: Wolves at Nuggets

Photo by David Berding/ An ultra-shorthanded Wolves squad came up short in the last meeting between these two teams. This time, a healthier group will look to finish the job. Nothing is going on in Minnesota Timberwolves world right now, so I’ll write about a successful closeout of the homestand and voyage west to Denver. A couple weeks ago, an incredibly shorthanded Wolves team trotting out a starting center of Kyle Anderson, completed most of the installments in order to control a win at Target Center over a full strength, defending-champion Denver Nuggets team.
