Jeremy Sochan has been named to the All-Rookie second team in the end-of-season NBA awards.

The first round draft pick averaged 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game across 56 appearances for San Antonio Spurs and is one of six rookies to have at least 600 points, 200 rebounds and 100 assists, despite missing 26 games due to injury.

He finished the season ranked in eight rookie top-10 categories.

Sochan recorded two double-doubles – both coming in the final month of the regular season – with a career-high 30 points achieved against Phoenix Suns in January.

The England native, and Poland national team member, was joined in the lineup by Jalen Duren, Tari Eason, Jaden Ivey and Jabari Smith.

Sochan becomes the first Spurs player to receive All-Rookie honours since Kawhi Leonard in the 2011-12 NBA season.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
