Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has never met Jeremy Sochan’s mother, Aneta, who played at Panhandle State in Oklahoma. But it sounds like they’d get along quite well.
The Baylor freshman 6-foot-9 combo forward feels he’s the best defender in June 23rd’s draft – which is all his mother cared about.
Those are phrases Thibodeau recites in his sleep. Sochan planned to meet with the Knicks in Chicago Friday, but whether he will be available at the No. 11 pick is a question mark. He’s interviewed with a handful of lottery teams, including New Orleans at 8. “I think so, for my size, my length, the ability to switch one through five on the ball and also the off-the-ball defense,’’ Sochan said. “Being a communicator, being loud, a little bit scrappy, that makes me the best defender.’’Sochan should be the Knicks’ pick if he’s available at 11.
“I think a mixture of players, players with length, size, versatility, like Draymond Green, Mikal Bridges, Aaron Gordon,’’ Sochan said. “I see a younger Boris Diaw, bits of Jimmy Butler. Just players with a lot of versatility on both sides of the court affecting the game not even in the boxscore. Doing little things and getting under people’s skin, irritating players as well.
