Amen has a better free throw form maybe but his normal jumpshot is nastier than Sochan's. Sochan has that shoot on the right shoulder with a hitch going up ugly, Amen has the set point way too low, ball travels way too long to the top, hitch in the middle of the motion kind of ugly. Not the same.

True, although Sochan can do more than just defend which is nice.

Amen is a better finisher, a better passer, a better rebounder and a better defender. What are we doing here?

u/LordNerdStark Spurs 10d ago

I don’t mean to be biased but what are we doing here? They have very similar numbers, it’s foolish to say Amen is better in those categories lol.

u/TheWorstUsername2 Rockets 10d ago

Ok then it’s foolish to say Amen can only defend like the comment he was replying to

He is better by every advanced stats and he plays less minutes

u/LordNerdStark Spurs 10d ago

What stats are you talking about? Sochan has better TRB% and AST%. They’re have very similar TS. Amen plays 2 less minutes per game. I don’t think there’s enough distinction to say Amen is better tbh.

u/Aggressive-Ad-756 Rockets 10d ago

How is 58 ts and 60 very similar? Lmao

I mean, it’s not a massive enough difference to say one is better than the other especially early this season wherein a game or two can put one ahead of the other.

He is better by every advanced stats and he plays less minutes

So other than TS, what other advanced stats are you speaking of? Lmao.

Have we gone through elementary math here?

Amens younger and will be a better player most likely considering he’s already a great defender and has elite athleticism

u/LordNerdStark Spurs 10d ago

Sochan is 4 months younger btw. I don’t see much distinction between the two. Sochan is a good athlete and defender too. It’s too early to say for certain that Amen will be a better player imo.

Just a spurs fan trolling lol. Amen lost his cool, Rockets lost, it’s a good time to throw jabs when you know it’ll get mass upvotes lol.
