The Warriors acquired Schroder and a second-round pick after they traded De’Anthony Melton, Reece Beekman, and three second-round picks. With Schroder’s impressive averages of 18.4 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, the Warriors hope he can help them regain their footing. Despite a 10-2 beginning, the team has struggled, dropping to 14-11 after a loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
Kerr believes that Schroder’s addition can help turn things around for the Warriors. With Schroder’s skills and experience, the team is looking to rebound from their recent slump. It will be interesting to see how Schroder integrates into the team and whether he can help the Warriors get back on track.
