Our Player Preview series, here at SDS, continues today with a look ahead at the upcoming season and, specifically, young point guard Dennis Schroder.
With the season approaching rapidly, we at Soaring Down South are exploring how the players on our roster will perform and today, that brings us the franchise’s new starting point guard Dennis Schroder.
There is no missing Schroder on the floor. The point guard maintains a unique and distinctive golden patch in his hair and his game is often both explosive and exciting. The jury is still out on Schroder, though. No one knows how high his ceiling really is or whether he can thrive as a starter.
Here at SDS, we’ve already looked at Dwight Howard and Kent Bazemore but, in many ways, this is the most eagerly anticipated and most intriguing player on the team. Why? Well, The Hawks parted with long-time starter Jeff Teague to hand the reins to the young German. Having seen Schroder grow from a difficult rookie season to Most Improved Player contention in his sophomore year, fans in Atlanta are excited to see how their number 17 will cope with his new role.
