Jeremy Sochan’s message to fans after terrible start in New York
Recently, the The New York Knicks shook things up adding Jeremy Sochan during the All-Star break after parting ways with the San Antonio Spurs. Let me say that Socan’s beginning of his Knicks’ tenure has been rough, would be an understatement, as he most recently found himself benched in the second half of New York’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
However, Socan holds on positive attitude as he adjusts to his new home.
“It’s a process. This is my fourth game here,” Socan said, per Stefan Bondi of the New York Post. “So we’ll figure it out. We’ll be good.”
“This is my first time adapting to a different dynamic,” he added. “So it’s going to take some time to figure it out and of course I haven’t been in full shape. So all together (there will be) ups and downs. But I’m blessed and excited to be in this situation. And I really believe I can add to this team.”
Socan became known as a versatile defender and opportunistic offensive player during his time with the Spurs, but he ended up mostly out of the rotation in San Antonio this year.
The Knicks could certainly use another athletic point guard, given that many point to the team’s two best players, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson, being clear-cut villains on that end of the floor as the reason New York isn’t taken seriously as a title contender.
Still, to secure himself a consistent spot in Mike Brown’s rotation, Sochan will need to be able to provide more offensively than he has so far during his tenure with the Knicks.
“I think it’s just learning how everybody wants to play. The vibe on the team and all that stuff,” he said.
The Knicks will next take the floor on Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks.
