Jeremy Sochan met with Sam Presti and Mark Daigneault in pre-draft workout, per The Oklahoman

In an interview with The Oklahoman’s Joe Mussatto, lottery-projected Jeremy Sochan spoke about his workout with the Oklahoma City Thunder and a potential fit there as he praised the franchise.

“‘During that whole process I had dinner with Sam Presti and talked a lot with Coach Mark (Daigneault),’ Sochan said.

Sochan said he was put through a gauntlet of individual drills.

‘They got after me,” he said. “I think they tried to challenge me mentally — get me tired and see how I can show resilience, see how I can play through fatigue and pressure. I think in general it was great for me, and I think for them as well to see my resilience and that I can work through tough moments.'”

Sochan, who was born in Guymon, Oklahoma, compared himself to Golden States Warriors Swiss army knife Draymond Green as the type of player he sees himself being in the NBA.

This articles comes a few days after Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer said he’s heard whispers around the league that the Thunder want to trade up from No. 12 in order to get Sochan.
