How important has Dennis Schroder been to the Atlanta Hawks 4-2 start to the season? The national media may have to start calling this team “New Lob City” if he continues tossing alley-oops with the pinpoint precision that he has been during his performances. His outside jumpers have been falling with a pleasantly surprising consistency and accuracy. The finger rolls and floaters have been more attractive than I can recall them ever being. His defense is stingy and effective, racking up steals left and right. He also has orchestrated the offense rather impressively.
I still don’t know what the story is with his hair style, but Schroder may have already won me over.
