Gregg Popovich Praises Jeremy Sochan's Versatility
1 year agoSan Antonio Spurs power forward Jeremy Sochan had a productive rookie campaign in the NBA last season, and his role on the team should only continue to grow, with head coach Gregg Popovich valuing him and his versatility very highly. "He can play one through four," Popovich said. "And depending on circumstances — who we're playing, injuries — I could see him going to the five and us playing small. He's like a utility infielder in baseball; maybe they don't have that anymore. The sky's the limit for him. He's so competitive. He handles the ball. He's one of our best passers." Popovich added that Sochan plays a very important role for the Spurs in creating pace. The 20-year-old tallied 11.0 points in 26.0 minutes last season and collected 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He plays a vital part in Popovich's plans and looks poised for an even bigger year in 2023-24.
