Sochan, who spent four seasons with the Spurs, appeared in 28 games this season, averaging 4.1 points in 12.8 minutes per game. Now, as part of the Knicks' fresh lineup, he's poised to make a significant impact.
During a recent media session, Sochan shared insights into his budding relationships with his new teammates. He mentioned, "I know Jordan Clarkson…he’s from San Antonio…The rest is just during games, talking sht…OG’s from England too, Josh supports a sht club Chelsea--," showing his playful side.
When reporter James L. Edwards III chimed in with, “I’m a Tottenham fan,” Sochan humorously retorted, “Aw hell no.”
This light-hearted exchange highlights Sochan’s vibrant personality and hints at the strong camaraderie he's already building within the Knicks. As he integrates into the team, fans are eager to see how his off-court humor translates to on-court chemistry and performance.

After a challenging stint with the Spurs, Sochan is eager to turn the page and start anew with the Knicks. Sporting blue-and-orange hair to match his new team colors, he's ready to inject energy and excellence into his play.
"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,” Sochan stated. “… 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 views his move to the Knicks as a prime opportunity to grow and contribute alongside seasoned NBA veterans. His focus remains on making the most of every opportunity to develop his game and make a meaningful impact with his new team.
