For Jeremy Socan, it is “impossible not to think” about the transfer

Second in the Western Conference (26 wins – 11 losses), c Spurs they now have good bench depth and, inevitably, there’s no room for everyone in Mitch Johnson’s rotation.

So it is Jeremy Sochan who paid the price, gradually disappearing from the plans of the Texas coach: from 17 minutes per game between the beginning of November and the beginning of December (6.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists), since then he has dropped to just 9 minutes (1.4 points and 1.9 rebounds). Knowing, in passing, eight “DNPs”.

« I’m not going to lie to you and say that every day was beautiful. But there were times when it was very difficult » acknowledges the 9th pick of the 2022 Draft.

« I know he would like to have a little more chance, but you can never question his efforts » remark in any case Victor Vembanyamaone of his friends in the locker room.

In the midst of his fourth year in the league, the least productive of his young career, and while he can negotiate a new contract in a few months, Jeremy Sochan therefore seems closer than ever to leaving Saint Anthony. What he still considers ” his house ».

A highly respected personality

« I try to think about the present moment and what is happening now. But apparently it’s impossible not to think about it… » admits, regarding a possible transfer.

Blamed, in particular, for his inability to be dangerous and regular in attack, as well as his hybrid profile, too small to play strong winger but too slow to play winger, Jeremy Sochan is trying to be positive.

« In the end, the most important thing for me is to remember who I am » he explains. ” Even if we don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, I think that if we keep working and putting effort, with a good mood, we will always find somewhere in the end. »

Never one to shy away from effort, especially on defense where he excels the most, Jeremy Sochan also never fails to show that he is involved in the San Antonio Texas community. Which makes him one of the favorites of the dressing room and the public, but also an element that is difficult to let go of.

« I feel like I’ve given a lot of myself to this city, because that’s my nature, the person I am, and I’ll always do that, wherever I am. And for now I’m here… » remembers the man who averaged 11.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists during his first three years in the NBA.
