Baylor Bears freshman forward Jeremy Sochan has declared for the 2022 NBA Draft and will forgo his remaining college eligibility. His final college basketball game will be a loss in the second round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament to the North Carolina Tar Heels. Sochan is projected to go in the lottery this year after coming off the bench behind two experienced big men. In his lone year of college basketball, he showcased more than enough to be a valuable target for NBA teams.

This year with the Baylor Bears, Jeremy Sochan was a force coming off the bench. He averaged 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. That rebounding clip was good enough for second on the team this year and he paired it with great defense as well. He paired those numbers with a field goal percentage of 47.4 percent and a three-point percentage of 29.6 percent. His defensive versatility is what will likely get him drafted in the 2022 NBA Draft lottery. He showcased that he is an above-average defender with the ability to still be useful on the offensive end as well.
