“His willingness to sacrifice for the team is always great. It’s a pleasure to share the space with him.” Not every Spurs player has the chance to receive praise from Victor Wembanyama himself. Then again, not everyone is Jeremy Sochan. He is in his third season with the San Antonio Spurs and has been on the right track in the last six games.
