The Hair
Sochan, known for his ever changing hair colors during his Spurs tenure, debuted a new look upon joining the Knicks: orange and blue, the team’s official colors.
It’s a significant shift from his popular pink hair and a clear signal that Sochan is embracing his new home.
The Stiller Stamp of Approval
Ben Stiller, lifelong Knicks fan and comedy legend, took notice.“I mean come on….. love this guy already,” Stiller posted on X, reacting to Sochan’s team-colored hair.
For a player entering a new market, getting endorsed by a cultural icon like Stiller is invaluable. It’s not just approval it’s acceptance. New York has embraced Sochan before he’s even played a game.
The Fit
“When you look at Jeremy, you like the size right off the bat, especially for a forward,” Brown said. “Over the years, he’s been able to guard one through five. His energy, his physicality.”
Sochan’s versatility defending multiple positions, bringing energy, playing with physicality fills exactly the kind of role contending teams crave. The Knicks, sitting third in the East at 35-20, are exactly that.
The Transformation
Sochan’s journey from San Antonio to New York represents a fresh start. The ninth overall pick in the 2022 draft showed promise with the Spurs but never quite found consistent footing.
Now, with a new team, new colors, and new expectations, he has a chance to redefine his career.
