Sochan is coming off what can only be described as a roller coaster of a season, ending as the 178th-ranked player in standard fantasy formats. He opened the campaign as the starting point guard, an experiment that seemed doomed to fail from the jump. Unsurprisingly, he soon shifted to his more natural position at wing/forward, allowing him to put up intriguing production across multiple categories. He closed with averages of 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 three-pointers and 1.3 combined steals and blocks. In what has been a busy offseason for the Spurs, newly acquired Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes are likely going to be inserted into the starting lineup. This alone muddies the water when it comes to Sochan's role, making him a tough player to draft outside of slightly deeper formats. It is likely he will still play a meaningful role given San Antonio is still figuring out its long-term roster. Sochan is someone to monitor closely on the off chance he starts at power forward or plays significant minutes in a leading role off the bench. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Sochan was born May 20, 2003 in Guymon, Oklahoma. His mother, Aneta, was a Polish basketball player who met Sochan's father, Ryan Williams, in Oklahoma while she was there to study. Sochan spent most of his childhood in Milton Keynes, England, where he began playing basketball. He began his high school career in La Lumiere School in Indiana but left America due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sochan has represented both the junior and standard Polish national basketball teams. On the junior under-16 team, he won the 2019 FIBA U16 European Championship Division B and was named Tournament MVP. During the EuroBasket 2022 qualification, he became the youngest player to ever take the floor for Poland, playing 29 minutes and posting 18 points and a block that sealed the victory for the country. During the 2020-21 season, the wing played professionally for Orange Academy Ratiopharm in the German Pro B League, where he averaged 10.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 25.4 minutes. Sochan played collegiately at Baylor in 2021-22, where he averaged 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.0 minutes. He was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team and earned the Big 12 Sixth Man Award. In the 2022 NBA Draft, he was selected ninth overall by the San Antonio Spurs.
Not injured in car crash
FSan Antonio Spurs
September 3, 2024
Sochan was not injured after crashing his car into a guardrail in San Antonio on Aug. 24, James Herbert of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS Sochan told police he "lost control of his vehicle" and hit a guardrail on the ramp connecting two highways. His car was the only one involved in the crash, and while there was extensive damage to his Porsche, Sochan refused EMS services and walked away unharmed. After a promising rookie campaign, Sochan was shifted to point guard last year, but that experiment failed miserably. After moving back to forward, Sochan found his footing again and is expected to play a key role in the Spurs' frontcourt next to Victor Wembanyama in 2024-25.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The Spurs are among the toughest teams to gauge in the NBA. Sochan was the No. 9 pick in the 2022 draft and flashed moments of brilliance in his rookie season. After a lackluster start, Sochan averaged 13.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks across his final 32 games. His last eight games were even more intriguing -- 16.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game. However, you have to consider that the eight-game stretch included numerous injured/absent players during the Spurs' quest to tank for the No. 1 pick, which they achieved and selected Victor Wembanyama. Sochan himself also appeared in just 56 games, missing much of the end of the season due to a knee injury -- the seriousness of which may have been exaggerated for tanking purposes. Sochan should take steps forward as a sophomore, and he's a fit alongside Wembanyama, but if San Antonio is healthier and tries to win games throughout the whole year, the sophomore's usage may not be as high as optimists hope. Ultimately, he projects as a role player within the Spurs' offense. Sochan is a fine flier at the end of standard league drafts, but he's better suited for deeper formats.
An athletic two-way wing out of Baylor, Sochan was selected with the No. 9 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Spurs. However, he sat out Summer League due to a hamstring injury and contracting COVID-19. As a freshman last season, he won Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year behind averages of 9.2 points on 47/30/59 shooting, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in 25.0 minutes. Clearly, Sochan's shooting is a concern. He has a distinct lack of a reliable jumper for a forward, struggling from both the charity stripe and three-point line - a slow release doesn't help. But, he projects as an NBA-ready defender and has displayed upside as a playmaker and finisher around the basket. As a rookie, he'll fight for minutes against an underwhelming backup crew on the wing containing Josh Richardson, rookie Malaki Branham, Zach Collins and Keita Bates-Diop. There's a pathway to Sochan loggingg 25-plus minutes, but most of his fantasy value will probably be derived from his defensive stats. He's risky in standard leagues, but there's deep-league potential.

Sochan has been included on Poland's 17-man preliminary roster for the Olympic qualifying tournament to be held in July, according to Eurohoops.
ANALYSIS Poland's roster has yet to be finalized, but since Sochan is the only NBA player on the roster, he seems to be a lock to participate in the event. Sochan previously won a gold medal with Poland at an under-16 championship in 2019 and also represented the country at the EuroBasket 2022 qualifiers. He averaged 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for the Spurs in the 2023-24 NBA season.
