Hmm. I guess I biffed that one. I thought you were saying to round up to two.

Damn, I did have a brain fart right there. For some reason I counted from September to January (4 months), instead of January to September (8 months).
MY BAD GUYS.
My guess is no worse than CJ McCollum's or Damian Lillard's.
From what the commentators were saying yesterday, it's getting much better and it's better than the French league.
Maybe he is better than Bongo.
A PG who is very 1 hand dominated kind of worries me though.
I'd be more worried if he was three years older. But he definitely needs to work on that.
Yeah, we'll have to see how "one handed" he actually he. It's just a comment Fran Fraschilla made in 1 of the moves, where he basically puts on another gear and blew by the opposing PG for a layup. The comment was something along the line of "I guess one knock on this kid is he likes to use his right hand - but with that kind of speed you might not need your left hand!!"

If you watch his highlights he uses his left hand deliver quite a bit. I posted the tweet about being right hand dominate but I think that is deceiving based on what I have been seeing from him.

Go watch his highlights again. I was worried about it until I watched those again.
Great work on the research for shooting numbers and age.
Also if you like Trey Burke (who can go both to his left and to his right) - one knock on him is he seems to have a very slow change of speed. It's painful at times watching him trying to shake a defender to get to where he wants to go, to penetrate, or to get a shot off.
Schroeder doesn't have that problem whatsoever. He's built like a Golf GTI, his gear change is lightning quick.
You can teach ball handling, dribbling, but as far as I know, you can't teach speed.

This is the kind of stuff I need to learn. When will you be teaching a class Hottie?
Watch and learn my young apprentice...

Good points, but like you said, he's older, and playing against other pro's... He should be much better. In my mind it doesn't mean he will be a better pro. Next years draft is loaded, and if you believe like I do in thinking we will get a mid to late lotto pick we will get a very good pg.
Why not get a good backup pg in this draft in Wolters and Canaan, along with a third big in Adams, and a project in Austin or the GF, and shoot for the fences next year and get our pg of the future, and if we just miss out on the playoffs again like this year, we can at the very least get Smart.

I actually think that Schroe is better than any of the other PG's next year not named Harrison.
To be honest with you, I'd take Schroeder over Smart right now. I'd rather have my PG be really quick and fast, pushing the tempo, finding guys - than someone who posts up smaller PG on the block (we already have Favors & Kanter doing that). Also Schroeder is already a better 3pt shooter than Smart and he is a good defender, he moves his feet and he sticks to you.
In terms of intangibles, yeah Smart is right up there. But don't forget, Schroeder had 1 week to get these International guys playing together - and he did that. He just seems like a natural leader out there on the floor.

I from what I have seen from both I would always take Schroe over Smart.
PKM - I wonder what Rondo would say about this Schroeder kid?

I like what I've seen from Schroeder, but come on... Better than smart????. Maybe one day, but no one would be selecting him over smart and if you don't believe me then lets stop talking about him now because he is out of our reach.
