[Finger] From one instigator to another, Draymond Green likes Jeremy Sochan’s upside. “Not caring what anybody thinks, that’s a skill in this league,” Green, the veteran Golden State forward, says. “Jeremy, he don’t give a (bleep). You can tell.”

>From the instigator, this ranks among the highest of compliments. He’s played against Sochan only a few times, but he’s impressed by the way the kid defends every position, and by the way he sees the floor, and especially by the way he actively tries to get under people’s skin. 
>
>And it turns out, the feeling is mutual. When Sochan is asked if he can be as good at antagonizing as his Hall of Fame-bound role model, the second-year Spur positively lights up. 
>
>“Hell, yeah,” Sochan says. “I’m still learning, I’m young, but I’m definitely going to be that. I’m going to be one of those.”
>
>The Spurs saw that potential two summers ago, when they made the Oklahoma-born, England-raised, Polish-blooded Baylor alum the No. 9 overall pick in the 2022 draft. Back then, a member of the San Antonio front office mentioned Green’s skill set as a potential comparison, while conceding that Sochan had plenty of work to do to fulfill that potential.

>Now, Sochan says, “I can become more than Draymond Green” – a brash claim that might sound outrageous to everyone except for Green himself. 
>
>“He should think that,” Green says. “If I’m him, looking at me, I’m saying, ‘That’s my floor. What can my ceiling be?’ If he don’t think that way, that’s an issue.”

There’s more written in the article but it was too much to post here. Just copied this nice little excerpt.
