Jordan Stolz is ridiculous.

Whoever we get for the last roster spot will be a break glass in case of emergency sort of player when it comes to actual playing time in games. But they will help in practice. If you can get someone with growth potential, so much the better, but you can’t count on that. Last year we had Delon Wright and PJ Tucker in that role and the year before it was Ryan Arcidiacono and Jericho Sims. If we do better than them we’re doing great with our fifteenth roster spot.

But would we actually play Sochan? Who would he take minutes from? Probably McC—they’re actually pretty similar players.

Sochan is still pretty young and had a decent year last year. He cant shoot the 3 but does lots of other stuff pretty well for his size. Too many players in front of him on SA.

True shooting % does count FTs and so should we. The other team gets the ball back whether it’s a made shot or a FT.

Harden was 1-4 from the field for 13 points (10-12 from the line) with 11 assists.

I’d be fine with snagging Sochan off the waiver wire…unless there’s some low-key scuttlebutt about him.

The Spurs releasing a 22 yr old they invested 3.5 seasons into who has declined in every metric this season would certainly give me pause. What does he bring to the table?

You can say that but everyone gets credit for points without shots when they shoot free throws.

Clarkson has a -4.2 BPM in over 900 minutes, only 3 or 4 players with that many minutes have a lower BPM. His VORP of -0.5 is also in the bottom 5-10 of players with that many minutes, and all of the players below him are on teams with losing records. Those numbers scream “should never be on the floor for a team trying to win.”

I think my favorite Clarkson moment this evening was Jose telling him where to go on defense. Jose’s been here what, three days, and he’s telling Jordan what to do on defense? I think Clarkson just daydreams of chucking while on D.

He had 8pts on 5 shots and 4 FTs, which is functionally equivalent to 8pts on 7 shots. That’s below average efficiency on top of putting up 0 asts and 0 rebs in his 13 minutes.

You can say that but everyone gets credit for points without shots when they shoot free throws. If you get more points than credited shots you are doing ok. And it’s true he didn’t have assists, but he did make passes that led to reasonable shots. They just didn’t fall.

“adding a lot to the team”. Is a tough standard for a vet minimum player. I just expect such players to hold the fort when needed. From a coaching point of view Brown seems to playing him ahead of Kolek, so Brown seems to value him more than you do.
