- Across four appearances with New York, he is averaging roughly one point and one rebound in 7.5 minutes.
- Head coach Mike Brown is running a brief rotational look to gauge Sochan’s defensive value and overall fit before the postseason.
- Sochan called the slow start a process and cited game shape after limited action with the Spurs, saying, “We’ll be good.”
