What are his numbers when Jaylen plays? I can't remember. Is he scoring because he has to, does he have a role when we're healthy?
Schroo's individual numbers go up quite a bit when he starts in place of Jaylen. But the team defense gets worse and the overall results have been worse.
I just think he adds a dimension we would otherwise lack, as far as getting to the rim and increasing the pace of the offense. And he's talented and we aren't exactly overflowing with talent in general. I don't know why he can't come off the bench and give us a boost even if his role is decreased. And I mean, it's not like we're likely to be fully healthy for the rest of the year, whether it be injuries or covid.
I'm not president of the dude's fan club or anything. But he's a useful talented player and I'm surprised people are so eager to dump him. If we do trade him it would be nice to get an actual talent upgrade in the deal, but I'm not really seeing anything like that being proposed. So I'm just thinking, yo, we need more good players, not fewer.
