Dennis Schröder was named player of the week thanks to his stat-stuffing heroics in the Thunder’s 4-0 stretch.
Joe Mussatto (The Oklahoman) on Schröder’s case for Sixth Man of the Year: “Schroder hasn’t started this season, but he’s the No. 1 point guard in the league, ahead of Damian Lillard, according to ESPN’s real plus-minus. Schroder’s net rating is tops on the team. The Thunder are outscoring opponents by 6.8 points per 100 possessions with Schroder on the floor. Schroder has no logical explanation to explain his surge. Instead, he offered an emotional one.
