He was considered a generational type prospect long before the Spurs selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. There was absolutely no question that he was going to be selected as the top pick. What comes next is how he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spurs-news-reincarnation-of-tim-duncan-victor-wembanyama-draws-bold-praise-drew-gooden" rel="noopener">manages those expectations.</a> The Spurs are definitely going to be must-see TV this upcoming season as all eyes from fans and pundits alike will be tuning in to see how Wembanyama adjusts to the NBA. But according to his Spurs teammate, Jeremy Sochan, he’s well-equipped <a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/jeremy-sochan-interview-victor-wembanyama-gregg-popovich-poland" rel="noopener">to deal with the pressure</a> as per Bryan Kalbrosky of USA Today.</p><blockquote><a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/jeremy-sochan-interview-victor-wembanyama-gregg-popovich-poland">Q&amp;A with Jeremy Sochan on Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama: ‘The potential on both sides is endless’</a></blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>“I think he is mature for his age. He wants to learn. He reads a lot, which is really cool. He is smart. He knows not to get distracted and that is why he is good. I love how much he wants it. He’s hungry. He wants to win. He’s a team player, and he wants to win together. It’s super exciting to have the No. 1 pick. It speeds things up. Hopefully we all stay healthy. We are going to work hard to play as a team, and I think we are going to be pretty good,” Jeremy Sochan said.</p><p>The Spurs only had Victor Wembanyama play in two games at the Las Vegas Summer League before shutting him down. In those two games he averaged 18 points per game, 10.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 4.0 blocked shots with splits of 40.7 percent shooting from the field, 30 percent shooting from the three-point line and 68.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, according to Sochan himself, that is far from the truth.</p><p>Sochan has been known for experimenting on his hair color, and so when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/victor-wembanyamas-jeremy-sochan-inspired-hairstyle-sparks-comical-spurs-fan-reactions" rel="noopener">Wemby did the same thing</a>–coloring his hair blond along with a streak of purple at the top–many were quick to assume  his second-year teammate made him do it. The 20-year-old rising star, nonetheless, clarified that his only role in Wembanyama changing hair colors is linking him to his stylist.</p><p>“I <a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/jeremy-sochan-interview-victor-wembanyama-gregg-popovich-poland" rel="noopener">had zero influence</a>! I didn’t tell him to do it. There was no bet. He just one day asked me for my contact for who does my hair. I was like, ‘OK, I’ll send it to you.’ A few days later, he had the hair. I think it’s cool. It shows he is open to stuff and trying new stuff. It was cool to see that. Maybe we’ll see. Maybe another player on the team will do it. Imagine the whole team did it?” Sochan revealed when asked about how the change came about for Wemby, per For The Win.</p><p>While Jeremy Sochan probably didn’t tell Victor Wembanyama to do it, it’s safe to assume that the French phenom got the idea from his teammate. He couldn’t have been inspired by anyone else anyway, with Sochan so close to him.</p><p>It’s certainly fun to see, though. And if it helps the two in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spurs-news-jeremy-sochan-fires-scary-victor-wembanyama-warning-to-nba-ahead-of-partnership" rel="noopener">improving their chemistry</a>, Coach Gregg Popovich won’t have a problem with it … probably.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, he’s so confident about their partnership that he even sent some sort of a warning to the NBA.</p><p>When asked about his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/victor-wembanyamas-jeremy-sochan-inspired-hairstyle-sparks-comical-spurs-fan-reactions" rel="noopener">fit with Wembanyama</a> as they join forces on the Spurs’ frontcourt,  Sochan expressed his belief that they’ll be a menace on both defense and offense. He also gave a hint on how he sees them playing together offensively, adding that their potential is massive.</p><p>“I think it’s <a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/jeremy-sochan-interview-victor-wembanyama-gregg-popovich-poland" rel="noopener">going to be scary</a>. Defensively, it’s going to be hard to score against us. We are long. We’re pesky. Offensively, I’m going to be able to find him, and I think the beautiful thing about it is whoever gets the board, just push it. There is no need to pause after getting the defensive board. The way we want to play is: Whoever gets it, you run. You dribble the ball up. It’s going to make everything so much easier,” Sochan told For The Win.</p><p>“It’s going to make it flow more. I think the potential on both sides is endless.”</p><p>Indeed, it’s hard to ignore what the duo can do together. Jeremy Sochan stands at 6-foot-9, while Victor Wembanyama is at 7-foot-4. Scoring against them will truly be tough, especially with Wemby himself averaging 3.0 blocks in his final season in the French top-flight with Mets 92.</p><p>It is on the offense where the Sochan-Wembanyama pairing is the most intriguing, though. They are both mobile big man who can run with the ball, so it will be interesting to see how Coach Gregg Popovich utilizes that to their advantage.

The same has been the case for Jeremy Sochan, who is also dealing with a knee issue, except that the 19-year-old has been forced to sit out seven straight contests for San Antonio. At this point, it seems that we’ve seen the last of both players this season.</p><p>On Thursday, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich all but confirmed the team’s plan to have Vassell and Sochan sit out their last two remaining games — Saturday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. It is worth noting that both the Wolves and the Mavs are still fighting for their place in the Play-In picture out West so Minnesota and Dallas fans will want to keep an eye on this development.</p><p>As such, it could be considered good news for Wolves and Mavs fans to hear that according to coach Pop, it’s going to be “tough” for both Vassell and Sochan to return to the court this season:</p><p>“Jeremy has got his knee problem and so does Devin Vassell,” Popovich said, via Spurs reporter Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News. “… <a href="https://twitter.com/tom_orsborn/status/1644134668931874818" rel="noopener">There are legitimate medical reasons</a> why some guys aren’t playing very much at the end of the year.”</p><p>Above all, however, it seems that the most legitimate reason for the Spurs to sit their key players out has a lot to do with Victor Wembanyama. Simply put, San Antonio has been trying to lose as many games as it can in order to improve its odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming 2023 NBA Draft. At the moment, the Houston Rockets (20-60) and the Detroit Pistons (16-64) are the biggest threats to the same for the Spurs and their 21-59 record.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unsurprisingly, without one of their best players, the Spurs lost  to the Mavs in convincing fashion — the final score was 142-116 in favor of Dallas. So when the Spurs visit the Vivint Arena on Saturday night to play <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/soaking-it-all-in-lauri-markkanen-opens-up-about-first-nba-all-star-game-appearance" rel="noopener">Lauri Markkanen</a>, Jordan Clarkson, and the Utah Jazz, every Spurs fan under the sun will surely be dying to know: <b>Is Jeremy Sochan playing tonight vs. the Jazz?</b></p><h2>Jeremy Sochan injury status vs. Jazz</h2><p>The Spurs have Sochan <a href="https://twitter.com/Underdog__NBA/status/1629264776202207232?s=20" rel="noopener">listed as probable</a> for Saturday’s showdown, per a tweet from Underdog Fantasy’s NBA account. Additionally, point guard Tre Jones (left foot soreness) is questionable to play for San Antonio, while Devin Vassell (left knee procedure) and Romeo Langford (left adductor soreness) will both sit out.</p><p>Sochan, 19, was selected with the ninth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He’s averaging 10.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks across 48 appearances this season (45 starts).</p><p>After struggling to score from the free-throw line early in the season, Sochan changed his form so he could shoot free throws one-handed, and it’s paid off for the rookie. Sochan’s current free-throw percentage is up to a respectable 69.3%, just a hair under 70%.</p><p>Don’t expect the Spurs to steal a win on the road against the Jazz on Saturday, regardless of if Sochan is in the lineup. After all, the Spurs own the second-worst road record in the NBA at 5-25. But with regard to the question, <b>Is Jeremy Sochan playing tonight vs. the Jazz</b>, the answer is probably.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Spurs were hit with a reality check after they were blown out by Stephen Curry and the defending champions, 132-95,  despite being on the second night of a back-to-back.</p><p>Rookie forward Jeremy Sochan, who has only played in 13 games during his brief professional career thus far, saw firsthand the habits and the effort needed to compete at the highest level.</p><p>Despite the loss, the 19-year old knows that he and the rest of the Spurs could stand to learn a lot from the way the Warriors handle their business on a nightly basis, even if they haven’t gotten off to the best of starts during the new campaign.</p><p>“I think just looking at the other team, the way they play; defensively, offensively, they won a championship last year. So I think just learning from them, the way they move off the ball is crazy, they’re fast, and then defensively as well they’re always talking, playing with a lot of energy, helping each other. So I think there’s a lot to learn,” Sochan said, <a href="https://www.kens5.com/article/sports/nba/spurs/warriors-132-spurs-95-what-they-said-game-nba-san-antonio/273-d2efd018-a503-41d7-b632-05885559926c" rel="noopener">per KENS5</a>.</p><p>The ninth pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, Jeremy Sochan is showing so much poise despite being as young as he is. Under the tutelage of five-time NBA champion Gregg Popovich, Sochan should be well-positioned to learn the ins and outs of what makes a championship roster.</p><p>Sochan even started at the point during the Spurs’ loss to the Warriors, a clear show of faith from the coaching staff in the young forward’s versatility.</p><p>The 19-year old’s development will be crucial to the Spurs’ hopes of regaining their status as contenders in the years to come. And with Sochan showing his willingness to learn from such a dispiriting defeat, that time may come sooner than expected.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They used one of their four draft picks this year on Jeremy Sochan, one of the most intriguing talents in the class, rather than settling for the potential of a draft-and-stash prospect or making a trade.</p><p>The versatile 19-year-old fits well into Gregg Popovich’s preferences since he is a naturally good defender. Remember that Sochan earned the US NCAA Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year and was selected to the conference’s All-Freshman team in his lone season at Baylor. At 6’9 with a wingspan of more than seven feet, Sochan has the physical tools to be a very impactful player for the Spurs.</p><p>When Sochan is paired up against large players, he enjoys the toughness, has excellent foot quickness, and is switchable. His former head coach Scott Drew gushed about how he walked into his Baylor program, which had just won the 2021 national championship, and instantly slotted in as one of the greatest communicators on the squad, especially on defense.</p><p>Sochan also fits very well into the youth movement for the San Antonio franchise. Keep in mind that the Spurs have only two players over the age of 30.</p><p>Sochan was a top-10 choice despite having made just one start in college. He was committed to serving as a reserve for Baylor in college despite having the skill-set of a lottery talent.</p><h2><i>*Watch NBA games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</i></h2><h2>Jeremy Sochan Bold Spurs Predictions</h2><h2>2. Sochan will be the Spurs’ top defender</h2><p>In the 2021–22 US NCAA season, Sochan was a non-starter for Baylor in 29 out of 30 games, yet he was one of the best players in the nation, <a href="https://airalamo.com/posts/jeremy-sochan-missing-piece-unlock-san-antonio-spurs-defense">especially on defense</a>.</p><p>He can guard nearly all five spots, and in off-ball situations, he can produce deflections and transition opportunities. He has very active hands, and he is always ready to seize any slack passes or loose handles.</p><p>In college, Sochan typically played as a roving 4 on the weak side of opponents’ offenses. This enabled him to step into the lane to intercept crosscourt passes or provide help at the rim when necessary. On switches, he demonstrated the ability to step out onto guards and wings when needed. Despite his stature, he maintains a light gait and can shift directions quickly when playing defense.</p><p>In spite of this, his strongest quality may be that he can be used as an off-ball threat. He can quickly shift to key spots on the floor after the help or the drop. Sochan also has superb anticipation to steal errant passes and launch a fast break attack. He actually recorded a ton of deflections in addition to his 2.0 steals per 40 minutes in college.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"I think Jeremy Sochan is going to be a real value pick for the San Antonio Spurs.

Sochan will be one of the Spurs’ worst jump-shooters</h2><p>On the flip side, Sochan may end up very limited on offense for the Spurs. While he has great length and a nifty touch around the rim, his spot-up shooting simply is not good. This means that opposing defenses can potentially sag off of Sochan. He certainly won’t space the floor well for the Spurs this coming season.</p><p>In fact, his shooting numbers are quite concerning. He finished his only US NCAA season shooting 29.6 percent from the three-point area and just 58.9 percent from the free-throw line. Now, while he does have workable shot mechanics, opposing teams will be all too happy to let him shoot until he raises those percentages.</p><p>Right now, Spurs fans won’t even see much of Sochan before the season begins. He <a href="https://www.rotoballer.com/player-news/jeremy-sochan-will-sit-out-summer-league-action/1039424">won’t play during NBA Summer League</a> while he recovers from a positive COVID-19 test. They should not worry much, though, since this move is clearly preventive on the part of the Spurs’ management. At the end of the day, Sochan is expected to play a significant role this season as the Spurs try to replace Dejounte Murray’s varied productivity.</p><p>He may not be the most intimidating new sheriff in town, but he has the capacity to take the proverbial law into his own hands.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
