DALLAS — Jeremy Sochan has another opportunity to prove himself in the NBA. Sort of.

Four months after winning an NBA championship with the New York Knicks, Sochan was selected No. 1 overall by the Texas Legends in Saturday's NBA G League Draft. The 23-year-old forward will begin his fifth professional season trying to crack a main roster.

It likely isn't what Sochan envisioned when the San Antonio Spurs selected him ninth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, but, for now, it's his ticket back.

"Our directive here is to find and develop players in a competitive environment," Legends general manager Terry Sullivan said Saturday afternoon at American Airlines Center. "We think Jeremy is a great fit. (He) hecks all the boxes we need in a guy."
