Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy was impressed with San Antonio Spurs rookie Jeremy Sochan on the defensive end this past weekend (Jazz won 118-102 at home).

(via Jump View):

“That kid plays really hard and clearly has a very bright future. His competitiveness and energy on the defensive end really stood out, it stands out on film. So he’s a heck of a young player. I really respect the way he plays the game.”
