Despite good team effort it’s quite obvious that Polish forward was the most impactful individual performer last days in Valencia. Sochan was defending everyone and his top notch court awareness was at full display as he was moving excellent within defensive rotations and presented elite rebounding instincts and ability by snatching the ball at the highest point. One of the best athletes as well given huge bounce and strong built. Another asset that Jeremy possess is being team oriented. While his takeover ability doesn’t standout he simply cares about winning, plays very hard and is extremely unselfish.

Jeremy’s shooting motion is still too slow at times and not in a perfect rhythm but he was forced to take a few difficult attempts here while he is more of time & space option from behind the arc. Also executing mismatches a little bit better vs both forward positions can help him down the road but he is super solid comboforward skills and tools wise which simply fits what NBA is looking for nowadays. Moreover team defense may be considered being on elite level. Gives hope to become second Polish player who ever sticked around in the NBA after Marcin Gortat. Probably will do fine anywhere but in Europe his status would be more special which is important factor thinking about draft moving forward given how underestimated he is by American rankings and lack of chances there on small forward position.

Recap: Hoopsfix All-Star Classic
Jeremy Sochan 2003, 6’8’’, F, Itchen College (8pts, FG-3/9, 5reb, 3ast, 4to)

Sky is the limit for Jeremy, who has recently committed to La Lumiere and next season he’s taking his talents overseas. Was the youngest player in the contest and is one of the best prospects in his generation in Europe. Athletic body designed for basketball, high shoulders, great wingspan, big hands and a frame that should fill in nicely over time. Didn’t have the best performance missing some easy shot opportunities, forcing a bit and biting to every pump fake but we could see some glimpses of his playmaking abilities and impressive athleticism. Not a confident shooter with a slow release, still needs to improve his left hand, especially on the shot inside and work on his outside game.

Underclassmen Prospects Guide: EABL 2018/19
Jeremy Sochan (03) 6’7 Itchen College / Class of 2021 – The Young Stud

Jeremy Sochan has been not only one of the youngest players with meaningful minutes in the EABL but one of the best thanks to his mix of length, mobility and raw athleticism. As a hoop fan, you should never take your eyes off of the game when he’s around, as you might miss the next flying dunk in transition, some impressive put-back, or maybe a nasty block running back in D. All those plays will be available on a highlight-reel later, but nevertheless Sochan’s fluidity and athletic traits will let you wondering what just happened.

It’s been an achievement for Itchen College watching this teenager with Polish and American roots become an essential part of the program alongside more experienced upperclassmen like Peter Turay and Matt Hughes. A versatile wing/forward with slim frame and quick on his feet, Jeremy has transformed his team’s line-up from the 3 and 4 spots. He has been key on the defensive end adjusting from the 2-3 zone – protecting the glass, rebounding and starting the fast break – to the top of a 1-3-1 – putting pressure on the opposition’s PG. He’s also efficient on 1on1 locking down the lane with all sort of blocks, or using his vertical jump in the post. Footspeed and long arms have helped to cover distances too, although sometimes he’s been over confident leaving space to open shooters.

On the offensive end, Jeremy is more of a transition animal as well as a terrific slasher with length and shiftiness to finish strong at the rim with dunks, an either-hand layup or a floater. He has a solid pull-up from 12-15 feet too, built on pump-fakes and explosive legs. His off-hand bounce needs to improve though, as well as his vision and court awareness if he’s going to become a serious playmaker and get the best of defences collapsing over him. And though he’s not a post-guy, his athleticism has been important in the paint after offensive rebound or making his way in the low- blocks. Jeremy’s shooting needs some fixing too: keeping his eyes on the target instead of the ball while working on his balance, stroke and motion. Some adjustments could add consistency and another dimension to his offensive arsenal.

It’s been a fun season watching Jeremy Sochan slashing and leaping around English gyms while working on his fundamentals and often dominating against guys up to 4 years older. And he’s made a good bunch of posters in the process. The speed of his game and his athletic tools might take him away from the EABL sooner rather than later, but wherever he goes next, just make sure you keep your eyes peeled for him.

Evaluation 2002-2003

U16 OVERVIEW
Jeremy Sochan was born in USA to Polish mother and American father. He currently resides in England where he plays for Milton Keynes Trojans. He is arguably the most interesting prospect from Polish 2003 generation and participates with national selection of Great Britain 2002. He possess good physical profile at 6’6 with natural strength and very long arms. On the court he is good, unselfish teammate. Can rebound the ball at the high rate and make grab and go type of plays. At his age group can easily play as center but he shows inclination to play outside but needs reconstruction of his shot moving forward (even though touch is very good). Explosive athlete but may lack will to create for himself more aggressively. Starting from 2018/2019 season, he will most likely leave to the country which is richer in good basketball programs. Family scheduled the visits to Ratiopharm Ulm, Brose Bamberg as well as some Spanish teams.
