Coming off a major EuroBasket victory, Dennis Schroder could be in for a rough season with the Sacramento Kings. Expectations for him are through the roof, though his defensive capabilities will appeal to Doug Christie's focus on that end of the court. It might save his job.
Schroder is stepping into the starting point guard position De'Aaron Fox left behind. Schroder is definitely a great player, but he is no De'Aaron Fox. That comparison will follow Schroder all season long, no matter how well he plays. Even success could seem like failure in this case
Schroder's EuroBasket success, combined with the comparisons to Fox, will make it incredibly difficult for Schroder to find personal victory.
