Jeremy Sochan has established himself as one of the most disruptive and underrated defenders in the NBA—despite playing just 25 minutes per game. His ability to lock down elite scorers like Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Damian Lillard while holding them to 35% shooting or worse sets him apart from some of the league’s most respected wing defenders.
Yet, despite his dominance, Sochan remains largely overlooked in the conversation for the league’s top perimeter stoppers. He takes on the toughest defensive assignments every night, yet he isn’t recognized the same way as other elite defenders. Could it be his minutes? His role? Or is it just a case of defensive brilliance flying under the radar?
In this breakdown, we’ll take a closer look at what makes Sochan such a defensive force, analyzing his versatility, footwork, screen navigation, and ability to disrupt even the best scorers in isolation. We’ll also explore how the Spurs utilize him in their defensive schemes and why his impact goes far beyond traditional box score stats.
With San Antonio trusting him to guard the league’s best, Sochan is proving he belongs in the conversation for an All-Defensive team. Could he finally get the recognition he deserves? Let’s dive in.

Who wins a chip first, Houston or San Antonio? Too very fun young team
Thanks for making this vid to highlight a player that doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
he's only getting 25 mins this season because of his back issues. spurs are managing it for the rest of the season
Tari Eason and Amen Thompson clear Sochan easily
jeremy fr the spurs’ next bruce bowen
Olynyk just made him look bad.
Players like Sochan are not fashionable as casual fans want the usual scoring types. Every true contender needs a player that does the dirty work like Rodman, Draymond and Sochan types.
The only thing I want to see Sochan improve is his shooting.
Whenever his shooting becomes respectable, SAS will be a contender every year.
The Spurs defense, especially this season, has been so confusing. On one hand, Wemby was putting up historic defensive numbers, Sochan has continued to be a lockdown defender, and Castle has been a menace. On the other hand, the Spurs have also had stretches where we are one of the worst defensive teams in the league.
I understand that it’s a team game and there is a difference between interior and perimeter defense, but our defense should not be as bad as it is with the defensive talent on the roster. Watching the games, I honestly think it’s a coaching issue. Everyone on the team is way too quick to be help defenders when the other team drives leaving the perimeter wide open. It’s been the same issue almost every single game. I get things will be worse when we don’t have Wemby on the floor, but it’s insane how well teams shoot from 3 against us.
Imagine what prime Corey Brewer would do in todays league. He would absolutely dominate.
