The 2023-2024 San Antonio Spurs have been dominated by the presence of rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama. It’s no surprise, as he appears poised to live up to the enormous, once-in-a-generation hype that surrounded his entrance into the NBA.
However, it’s important to note that Jeremy Sochan, a promising young player, is also making waves. The second-year player from Poland is seen as a key piece in the Spurs’ plan to develop a championship-caliber team around their young core.
Recently, the 6’10 forward made headlines for a rather unconventional reason unrelated to his on-court performance. During a game, he dove into the stands to retrieve a loose ball, but instead ended up grabbing a handful of popcorn and sharing a lighthearted moment with a fan.

The unsuspecting fan probably didn’t expect to receive a kiss from a San Antonio Spurs player when he entered the Frost Bank Center on Wednesday.
As expected, the Spurs lost to the Miami Heat, who are currently one of the top teams in the NBA. Jeremy Sochan had a subpar performance, scoring only 6 points on 3-7 shooting, along with 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
However, Sochan has shown improvement throughout the season, with averages of 11 points, 6 rebounds, and nearly 4 assists per game. His three-point shooting has also seen significant improvement. Earlier in the year, the team even experimented with him playing as a point forward, although they ultimately abandoned that strategy. Nevertheless, this experience has undoubtedly helped him develop valuable playmaking skills.
Presently, the Spurs have a dismal record of 10-41. However, with the presence of Victor Wembanyama, a talented young core, one of the most esteemed coaches in NBA history, and the prospect of another high draft pick, the future could hold much better days for the team.
