"There were definitely moments where Schroder stood out - he was easily the highlight of Toronto's 2023 season opener and looked like a solid option as the new starting point guard. But at the same time, he also had some reckless plays, seemed a bit frustrated playing behind guys like Scottie Barnes, and didn't quite establish himself as a consistent starter."
"If there's one thing to highlight about Schroder's career, it's that, despite an up-and-down NBA journey and that underwhelming stint in Toronto, he's put together one of the most impressive international resumes in recent years. And honestly, that global reputation might just be enough for him to make it into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame based on his international accolades alone - even if his NBA career hasn't been filled with All-Star berths or super noteworthy highlights."
The Toronto Raptors signed veteran German point guard Dennis Schroder in the 2023 offseason to replace Fred VanVleet. Schroder led Germany to the 2023 FIBA World Cup title and won the tournament MVP. Expectations were high under new head coach Darko Rajakovic, and Schroder showed flashes, notably in the 2023 season opener, while appearing as a potential starting point guard. Schroder also displayed reckless plays, visible frustration playing behind Scottie Barnes, and inconsistent starting performance. The Raptors traded Schroder to Brooklyn in a salary dump at the 2024 trade deadline. Schroder's international achievements significantly bolster his legacy despite an uneven NBA tenure.
