If there is one thing that NBA fans need to know about Jeremy Sochan, or what he would want them to know, it's that he is a self-described, "free spirit."
Sochan loves visiting museums. In fact, it's one of his favorite things to do. While fans might watch Sochan's game and wonder where the finesse is, there's no denying the young rookie has a love for all things art. His hair has become an extension of that, with famous colors and designs taking over the league in ways that were once made famous by Dennis Rodman in the 90s. Sochan says that fans provide ideas to him, especially on Instagram for what he should try next.
Sochan came into the league lacking the skill on the offensive end that many of the other top 2022 picks possessed, but his personality more than makes up for it. His story is undoubted one of the more interesting from that draft class. Sochan's experiences overseas, living in France and England, among the other 25 countries he's been to, have shaped who he is today. The Spurs hope their investment in one of the league's youngest players pays off in their rebuild. For now, Sochan is just being himself and making a lot of fans along the way.
