Dennis Schroder

A little bit of love for the former Celtics in this one, eh?

Pros

Strange coincidence aside, the Golden State Warriors probably won’t be able to find another free agent with as much upside as Dennis Schroder.

Formerly a candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year, Schroder has more than proven he can score, distribute the ball and lock up on the perimeter.

In 15 games with the Houston Rockets this season, Schroder averaged 10.9 points and 5.9 assists.

Cons

Schroder has always struggled with shooting the ball and his overall efficiency can be shaky. Truthfully, calling him inconsistent is the easiest way to wrap this up.

The Warriors would be taking a chance on a guy who has not played winning basketball in at least a few years. Can their championship culture turn this one around?
