3. Dennis Schroder Shined: On night where the Atlanta Hawks had difficulty scoring the ball, whether due to bad shooting or shots just not going in, Schroder played better than every other player on the squad — even starting PG Jeff Teague. This past summer, Schroder worked hard to continue to elevate his game — and the early returns are promising.
Dennis Schroder showed off an improved three-point shot, while his ability to penetrate and get to the basket by leveraging his speed and agility looked better than ever. While starters Kent Bazemore and Kyle Korver struggled on Tuesday night, Schroder provided a much needed volt off the bench. If Dennis Schroder continue to demonstrate his growth on the basketball court, the Atlanta Hawks will be the beneficiaries of his progress.
