Jeremy Sochan has taken major inspiration from the 5x champion and former Spurs’ forward Dennis Rodman. Apart from having identical archetypes on the court, the young forward has replicated the Hall of Famer’s outlandish hair choices and mannerisms. To top it all, Sochan also sports Rodman’s former jersey #10.

Needless to say, despite the Spurs’ struggles this season, Sochan has made his mark on fans with his striking similarities to Rodman. However, his recent hot streak on the court has heralded him in the rookie rankings and put him on the map more definitively.

In the last ten games, the young forward has averaged 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. Moreover, in his recent outing against the Phoenix Suns at home, he broke the mold on his scoring concerns. Sochan put up a career-high 30 points with eight rebounds and five assists, willing the Spurs’ to overtime. However, despite the 19-year-old’s heroics, the Spurs’ failed to close the game and lost by ten points (128-118) in a thriller OT.
