He is. FVV is a backup who’s only starting because of the hole left by Kawhi. Dennis is a starter (has been most of his career) who came off the bench playing behind CP3. Dennis has played better in the playoffs than FVV.
He's not. Schroder was the starter in ATL for one season. He led his team to the #3 overall pick in the draft. He started 14 games for the Thunder last year. Schroeder never starts unless his team needs it. FVV is starting over some pretty good backcourt players in Tor namely, Norman Powell.
Also, Schroder plays no defense, and he's an average at best passer.
Lastly, Schroder averages from his 7 games in the playoffs this year are 17.3 PPG/3.5APG shooting 40.4% from the field and 28.8% from three. FVV averages in his 6 games in the postseason (his team won their series and is still playing FYI) are 19.1PPG/7.6APG shooting 43.3% from the field and 42.1% from 3 Point land. I am not even going to get into defensive analytics.
FVV IS MUCH BETTER THAN SCHRODER.
Again, FVV plays next to Kyle Lowry. OKC leaned on Schroeder more than Toronto does FVV. But you want to make FVV the starting pg for the Knicks? I will take CP3’s words about Schroeder. He’s the better player.
So all of a sudden it's Kyle Lowry > Russell Westbrook/Chris Paul? Okay, you are reaching for crazy straws now. Another thing, FVV has a higher USG% than Lowry in the playoffs. ONE MORE THING, the Raptors have 5 (including FVV) players with an over 20% USG% while the Thunder had 4 (Schroder counts).
Schroder literally played nearly 73% of his minutes without at least two of those players, while FVV played with at least two of those guys close to 58% of the time. Of course, his USG isn't as high as Schroder, Schroder is typically out there playing with garbage.
In 2020 and likely moving forward, Schroder is worse than FVV.
