Although the Polish sensation didn't secure the result he wanted in his Knicks debut after the Detroit Pistons dismantled them with a 126-111 victory, Mike Brown stands impressed about Sochan's performance on Thursday.
“I thought his minutes were pretty good,” the Knicks coach said after the game, per SNY. “It gives us the ability to give a guy like Cade [Cunningham] a different look. You know with his length and his strength and his athleticism, and we want to be physical.”
Sochan received 10 minutes in his first game wearing a Knicks uniform. He registered two points and a pair of assists and a block.
As such, his play can be viewed beyond the stat sheet. Defensively, he exerted great effort in trying to contain Cade Cunningham with his disruptive lockdown approach.
“He hadn't played in a while, but most of the time that he was on the floor and guarding Cade, there was a physicality to it, and we liked that,” Brown said. “We need it.
“I thought for him, not having played in a while and him only being here for a couple of days, I thought he did a pretty good job."
