He once drew attention for his strong scoring ability in the NBA. However, there were problems in defence, and his influence was reduced in the end. He has moved around several teams, and his role is being reduced to a key six-man.
However, the status is different for the German national team.
2023 Basketball World Cup. He captained the German national team. It's the core of the team.
Main ball handler, strong scorer. He is considered the best point guard in the history of the German national team. It is a German basketball legend and a national team status comparable to that of Dallas franchise star Duck Nowitzki.

It put Germany in third place in the 2022 EuroBasket and led the team to its first championship in the 20203 Basketball World Cup. The MVP was up to him.
This tournament was no different. Germany, led by Schroeder, came out on top.
This is where the question arises. Why does Schröder exert even more power in the German national team. First of all, it's the enlargement of the roll.
Germany has a strong defense. Daniel Tice, Isaac Bonga and Franz Wagner boast strong heights and defense on the front court. Moreover, it is organized.
It is a system that can fill Schroeder's weaknesses with weak defense. In attack, Schroeder gets more rolls. Not only is it the main ball handler, but it also plays a key role in fastballs and patterns.
Schroeder is a player whose main weapon is a sharp under-the-goal breakthrough. Definitely less check under the basket than in the NBA. The German screener is so powerful that Schroeder can properly open up the inner and outer space he needs.
In addition, Germany is in desperate need of a shot creator. There is Wagner, but it is not easy to tear up the opponent's defense with Wagner alone. In the end, Schröder provides shot creation to the German national team in attack, and the German national team creates a win-win system by reducing the burden on Schröder's weakness, defense.
