As the San Antonio Spurs continue with what has turned out to be a terrific season so far, it's still hard to ignore the fate of a fan favorite. Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan has been collecting DNPs at a surprising rate, with him not even earning spot minutes.
What's more surprising is that even in several recent blowout wins and losses, he hasn't even sniffed the floor during garbage time. That either means that he is deep in coach Mitch Johnson's doghouse or he and the Spurs are mutually working together on a trade.
I presumed the latter since keeping him around past the trade deadline as a depth piece only makes sense if they are willing to play him at least occasionally.
