The Portland Trail Blazers have signed forward Jeremy Sochan to a one-year contract, according to ESPN. Sochan was the ninth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs.
Across three-plus seasons with the Spurs, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 212 games (149 starts). He shot 46.8% from the field and 28.7% from 3-point range.
Sochan was waived by the Spurs in February and then signed with the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old only appeared in 16 regular season games for the Knicks, averaging a meager 6.9 minutes per game.
Blazers Roster Depth
The 6-foot-8 Sochan will give the Blazers frontcourt depth behind Deni Avdija and Toumani Camara. Portland has a loaded backcourt with Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson.
