Close to a month ago, my colleague Jeff Siegel wrote a player review for Dennis Schroder. I’d encourage everyone to read it, since it’s a good exploration of Schroder’s experience and growing pains, and Siegel’s conclusion that “Atlanta has to be happy with how he’s performed in his first season behind the wheel for the Hawks” is one that I agree with. However, much of Schroder’s value to Atlanta comes from his future value and potential, elements that I’d like to cover now.
In essence, Schroder’s future growth is one of the most important objectives for the Hawks right now.
