Jeremy Sochan successfully presents himself in the first season of performances on the NBA courts. The Pole gets many minutes from San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. After participating in the “Game of Rising Stars”, the representative of our country celebrates another vital achievement.
There has been a Polish void in the NBA in recent years. After Marcin Gortat retired, we have been waiting for years for another representative of our country in the best league in the world. Jeremy Sochan was selected ninth overall in the 2022 draft by the Spurs, one of the most successful teams of the 21st century. Although the team is at the bottom of the table, the Pole gets a lot of precious time.
Jeremy Sochan with the first such feat
Sochan just recorded the first double-double of his NBA career. In a game won by the Spurs against the Indiana Pacers, the Pole scored 22 points and 13 rebounds. He also added 3 assists and 2 steals. And all this in 31 minutes of being on the dance floor. The result is so remarkable that none of his teammates followed in his footsteps. Only he completed the match for Ostrog with a double victory.
There was also a difference in rebounds in Sochany’s game. Sochan was mainly known for rebounding balls mostly on defense. This time, as many as 7 of 13 rebounds were under the opponent’s basket. In the Spurs team, in addition to the representative of Poland, Zach Collins, Devin Wassel and Devonte Graham scored the most points. All three finished the match with 18 “points” on their account. Buddy Heald led the Indianapolis team with 28 points.
Another victory for the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA
The Spurs just picked up their second win in a row. Before defeating the Utah Jazz, they played as many as sixteen matches, ending in defeat. For the weakest teams in the NBA, losses are part of the plan to get a high pick in the draft. Gregg Popovich’s team is currently third in the league with 16 wins and 47 losses. Together with the Houston Rockets, they close the tables in the Western Conference, and the Detroit Pistons are a red light in the East.
Sochan is averaging 10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season. At the moment, he has played in 50 matches (in 47 as a player of the main squad), spending 26 minutes on the court per match. He also shone in the NBA Rising Star Game.
