re: The character factor for the Pelicans draft picks

Sochan actually looks MUCH better shooting the ball than Herb...I'm optimistic on Sochan's offense becoming decent and the defense is just what we need.

He shot 36% from three in catch and shoot situations, and he showed to have a solid midrange game. I was worried about his shooting before I started looking into him, but it’s not a concern for me anymore. He’s going to be a good shooter in the league.

I also think he’s going to be like Scottie Barnes and he’s going to surprise a lot of people with just how skilled he is offensively. Not to the level of Barnes because then you’re talking about ROY, but in the way that he didn’t get to showcase his skills as much as he could have because of the role he played at Baylor.

I wouldn’t be the least bit shocked if he really begins to climb draft boards when individual workouts start.
