BALLER MOVE: Draft in rounds 4-8
CURRENT ADP: 62.8
ANALYSIS: The Hawks have finally decided to let Dennis Schroder loose. Remember Reggie Jackson while he was on the Thunder and people weren’t sure if he was ready to take over as “the main guy”? Basically the same situation is playing out right now in Atlanta. Just like Jackson, Schroder fully expects to be the guy and wants all of the pressures and accolades that come with the title. His career 10 points and 4 assists per game are going to be bumped up quite a bit by the end of the season.
With both Jeff Teague and Al Horford gone from Atlanta, the amount of shots and opportunities that come Schroder’s way will be more than he can probably handle. Schroder should be drafted higher based strictly on talent level and volume of opportunity. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finishes the season ranked ahead of guys like Ricky Rubio, Mike Conley, and former teammate Jeff Teague.
