San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan is known for his vibrant personality and aggressive on-court style, which has become a defining characteristic of his game.
The San Antonio Spurs hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves in an NBA Cup make-up game, and the attention, for once, wasn't on Jeremy Sochan . Normally stealing the spotlight himself with his colorful hair and rambunctious on-court attitude, Sochan sat in the team huddle while Frost Bank Center ran its usual 'Fan of the Game' promotion.

Enough so that Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, once a two-time NBA All-Defensive selection, included it on the scouting report. Sure, his stats speak for themselves. Sochan is averaging career high averages in points per game, rebounds per game and shooting percentage from the field. In games he's been healthy, he's left his mark as an interior defender and found ways to complement the play style of 20-year-old star Victor Wembanyama in a way no other Spur beyond Chris Paul has seemed to. 'He's a huge part of our motor,' Wembanyama said. 'I like playing with him. He knows where to be to catch the ball, get open
