Jeremy Sochan San Antonio Spurs

Jeremy Sochan became the youngest opening-night starter in San Antonio Spurs history in his NBA debut against the New Orleans Pelicans last night.

Sochan, who is 19 years and 152 days, finished with 4 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and one big dunk in a 129-102 loss.

Jeremy is just the fifth rookie to start on opening night for San Antonio, joining Tim Duncan (’97), David Robinson (’89), Sean Eliott (’89) and Willie Anderson (’88).

His Spurs opened their 50th season in San Antonio inauspiciously, losing a season opener for only the third time under Gregg Popovich; they are a projected lottery team, with an average after of just 23.4 years, the youngest roster in Popovich’s 27 seasons as San Antonio coach.
