UA used Herb as a point forward much of the time under Avery and Oats. He brought the ball up, initiated the offense, and was one of the primary guys to force a drive when things got stagnant.
And Sochan was getting more playing time at point forward later in the season, too. Remember he’s only 19 (today actually). He’s not a complete zero offensively, and has potential there. Why is he not a rim protector? Just because he doesn’t have great block statistics? He can guard the 5 adequately.

Main reason he isn’t considered a top rim protector is his relatively poor VJ. His defense is based more on anticipation, solid lateral movement and a nice frame.
Really, his body is more of a 3&D stretch 4 and I can see him being a solid player at the 4 given time and development, but his shooting numbers are still bad, so that development certainly isn’t assured and if you couple that uncertainty with a lack of an obvious physical advantage that could let him impact the game primarily as a D and dunk 5, then he looks more like a good value in the later first or early second, but not in the lottery.
