After a frustrating conclusion to his tenure in San Antonio, Jeremy Sochan is looking forward to a new chapter in his NBA career with the New York Knicks, writes Robert Sanchez of SNY.tv.
Sporting blue-and-orange hair to reflect his new team colors, Sochan spoke with reporters Wednesday about the role he hopes to fill and the impact he plans to make.
“I can do a little bit of everything, so whatever coach wants me to do, you know, whatever gets me on the court, I’m gonna do it and I’m gonna do it 100 percent,” he said.
“… At the end of the day, I wanna be Jeremy. I wanna be myself. … I bring versatility, defense, energy, a little bit of tenacity, so I can’t wait.”
Sochan drew significant interest after clearing waivers, with reports indicating that 10 teams explored signing him. Still, he said the Knicks stood out from the beginning and were “always at the top” of his list.
He described having “refreshing conversations” with members of the organization and said joining team practices already feels “very natural.”
“It’s just seizing whatever opportunity I get,” Sochan said. “And I think one of the reasons why I picked New York is it’s a very deep roster, a lot of really talented players and I think it’s a pretty cool opportunity just watching and to grow from that too.
“I still think I’m young, so just being around players that have established themselves and have done a lot of stuff in this league, I think is a crazy opportunity for me.”
