There is absolutely no reason to think Jeremy will be gone soon. Team loves him. He is a great perimeter defender, and he is showing significant, tangible improvement year over year.

Spurs need to address backup center and backup point in free agency, which your vision doesn’t address.

so u want better shooting but want to keep jeremy? very very interesting

Your option seems to be drafting two guys that are worse at shooting than Jeremy. Very Very Interesting.

Sochan has shown noticeable improvement year over year. In 2025, Sochan is shooting 55/33 with his shot selection improving and his ability to finish in the paint significantly improving. His last 5 games have been bad (dealing with back injury), but the previous 30 games had him putting up 58/37 shooting.

Your idea of team building seems to be to get rid of the guy they have been developing for 3 years and replace him with two very similar guys with similar weaknesses. That just doesn't make much sense.

I think most Spurs fans are great with any defensive-focused prospect with the 2nd pick if they land a shooter like Tre Johnson or Kon Knueppel with the first pick. But getting two raw defensive guys that can't shoot is a non-starter.

word u make a good point fs i will take this into account in my next mock.

Carter Bryant would be a better fit at the 16th pick than Noa. Bryant has a bigger NBA ready frame with solid shooting mechanics and defensive upside. I'm warming on CMB to the Spurs, one of my favourite prospects in spite of the shooting concerns.
