Hey Warriors fans!
In today’s episode, I dive into the exciting addition of Dennis Schröder to our squad. We break down his skills, how he fits with the team, and who stands to benefit most from his arrival.
I’m joined by Matt Kolsky to discuss Schröder’s potential impact on players like Steph Curry and Jonathan Kuminga. We also explore how his presence might affect the minutes of guys like Gary Payton II and Brandin Podziemski.
Plus, we look ahead at potential moves the Warriors could make before the trade deadline. Is a big splash still possible? Or are we more likely to see minor tweaks around the edges of the roster?
Schröder brings scoring, playmaking, and defensive tenacity to a team that’s been searching for these elements all season.
Schröder’s arrival is particularly timely, given the Warriors’ struggles to close out games and generate offense when Steph Curry sits. His ability to attack off the pick-and-roll, coupled with improved three-point shooting (38% over the last two seasons), should provide much-needed spacing and scoring punch.
What’s most impressive about this deal is the minimal cost. The Warriors parted with only second-round picks to land a player having one of the best seasons of his career.
The plan is for Schröder to start alongside Curry and feature in closing lineups. His presence should alleviate pressure on Curry and create more opportunities for others. Jonathan Kuminga, in particular, could benefit from Schröder’s pick-and-roll expertise and ability to draw defensive attention.
