Why the Warriors should sign Dennis Schröder

Not many players can hit the buyout market and instantly be able to join a contender.

Schroder is among those that could, and at his best, he could make just about every team’s ceiling higher. Even if he can’t figure it out completely, the worst thing that happens is that Schroder rides the bench for said contender.

For Golden State, their weak point is going to be their point guard depth and their center depth. Adding Schroder may not solve any critical problems, but it sure does add another potential pick-and-roll threat.

He averaged 19.4 points per game one season in Atlanta.

The Warriors are an elite defensive team with Gary Payton II, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Klay Thompson. They struggle offensively, and Schroder could be a spark off the bench, especially with young guard Jordan Poole.

Schroder could floor captain that unit and potentially help stabilize lineups without Stephen Curry. While Schroder gets a good amount of hate for his inefficiency, in each of his last five seasons he has had a positive on-court +/-.

Schroder will be among the few players with an offensive skill set that could instantly improve a second unit, and that should be enough to put the pen to paper if he’s available.
