Dennis Schröder is a polarizing player. His signing prompted hesitation from OKC Thunder fans, and Hawks were tired of him. His starting job was put into the cross hairs by those holding seat in the court of public opinion.
Schröder was called immature by several people, including Jeff Schulz from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Schroder is young (24) and talented (he led the Hawks in scoring last season and can beat a defender off the dribble) and he’s a pretty good ballhandler. But he’s rip-your-eyeballs-out maddening. He’s emotional and immature and streaky.
