Jeremy Sochan

Q. What will you bring to your new team?

JEREMY SOCHAN: I'm very excited. I think I'll bring a lot of versatility to the team, energy and fight and passion. I'm really excited.

Q. Everything that I've read about you to this point, the citizen of the world thing, your interest, your coachability screams Spurs culture fit. How much have you thought about that in the last few minutes, and how excited are you to go to a team like the Spurs?

JEREMY SOCHAN: Right, exactly. I think the Spurs, the best team, they've won the most, and they play as a team. I think that's what I'm about, so yeah.

Q. You and I got a chance to speak ahead of tonight. You told me that the Spurs had remained in contact with you, they were talking with you. What was it about that workout that left them with that type of impression about you?

JEREMY SOCHAN: I think just all around the person I am, and then on-court stuff I think I just showed that I can be a really good fit for them.

Q. What's the first thing you're going to buy with an NBA paycheck, and who are you looking forward to playing against?

JEREMY SOCHAN: First thing I'm going to buy is a driving license and then a car. I'm looking forward to playing everyone. I can't wait to play every day and just work and compete.

Q. You have very colorful hair --

JEREMY SOCHAN: I do.

Q. The last Spur that wore a lot of colorful hair was Dennis Rodman.

JEREMY SOCHAN: Yes, sir.

Q. What will your message be to the Spurs fan that are excited for your arrival?

JEREMY SOCHAN: I just want to tell you guys that I'm going to bring energy every day. I'm going to really compete and bring a lot to the table. I can't wait. We're going to have fun.

Q. What did it mean to share this with your family here tonight?

JEREMY SOCHAN: It meant a lot. I feel like they were stressing a little bit, too. But I feel like we were very aware of the situation, and what happens, happens. You can't control it. I feel like the vibes were really positive.

Q. As far as the on-court fit goes with the Spurs, you're going to fill a pretty immediate need for them in the frontcourt. How do you see yourself playing on both ends of the floor, on defense and offense?

JEREMY SOCHAN: Definitely. I think I'm going to fit really well. It's a really young squad. We have a lot of energy. I feel like they were one of the best teams in assists. I really feel like I really fit with that. I feel like it's going to be good.
