Jeremy Sochan Signs One-Year Deal With Trail Blazers

The non-guaranteed contract gives Portland a low-risk chance to test Sochan’s defensive versatility in training camp before any long-term commitment.

Overview

  • The signing was reported Saturday by ESPN’s Shams Charania, who cited Sochan’s agent Deirunas Visockas as confirming a one-year agreement with Portland.
  • Multiple outlets say the deal is non-guaranteed, meaning Sochan must earn a regular-season roster spot during Trail Blazers training camp.
  • Sochan, a 2022 ninth overall pick, joins Portland after being waived by San Antonio in February and finishing last season with the championship-winning New York Knicks.
  • Across 228 NBA games he has averaged about 9.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists, and he is valued more for size and defense than three-point shooting.
  • For Portland, which added Ja Morant and re-signed Robert Williams III this offseason, the move is a low-cost way to add frontcourt depth and see if Sochan can re-establish himself as a rotation player.
