life and career

Beginnings in Germany

Schröder began playing basketball at the age of eleven, after he was discovered by the professional basketball trainer Liviu Călin on an open space near the Braunschweig Prinzenpark and invited to basketball training. Over the years, he was able to steadily improve his basketball skills and so, in addition to the junior team in the youth basketball league, he was also employed early on in the first division reserve team SUM Baskets Braunschweig in the third-class ProB relay north. When Schröder was 16 years old, his father died of a heart attack, whereupon he changed his previous training attitude after promising his father that he would make it into the NBA.

BBL

From the 2011/12 season he was included in the first division squad of the Phantoms Braunschweig and received his first minutes of play in the basketball Bundesliga by means of a “ double license ” . While he received rather irregular and few playing times per game in his first season, he had his breakthrough in the basketball Bundesliga 2012/13 at Braunschweig and was usually on the field for 20 minutes or more in each game.

Schröder was also in the squad of the U20 national team at the European Junior Championships 2012 in Slovenia . With the team, he took fifth place. In early 2013 he was invited to the annual "Nike Hoop Summit", a prestigious invitation competition between a selection of the supposedly best junior players in the United States and a selection of the same age from the "rest of the world"; Schröder received from his club the clearance to take part in this game, although Braunschweig was threatened with relegation at the time of the tournament. In this game, Schröder was the second best point collector of his team with 18 points. He also distributed six templates and got two rebounds. After this appearance, he was traded as a future NBA talent for the first round of drafts.

Due to its performance in the 2012/13 season he was selected by a panel of experts on 12 April 2013 as the Most Improved Player and German Best Young Player (U24) of the basketball league won in the current season. He also became the youngest German all-star in Bundesliga history.

His contract with the Phantoms Braunschweig originally ran until 2014, but contained a release clause in the event of a move to an NBA team.

On July 10, 2013, he signed a contract with the Atlanta Hawks. His contract with Braunschweig was terminated after negotiations with the Hawks. A transfer fee of 550,000 US dollars is said to  have been paid to Braunschweig. However, this amount of money was not confirmed by Braunschweig. On September 24, 2013, the phantoms supervisory board chairman named an amount of EUR 370,000 after deducting transfer costs  .

At first Schröder had slight problems acclimatizing in the best basketball league in the world. On December 4, 2013, the Atlanta Hawks announced that Schröder would play a couple of games for the NBA Development League team at the Bakersfield Jam by mutual agreement , in order to collect game practice and thus to make it easier for him to get used to his new place of work. After six games in the D-League, Schröder finally returned to the Hawks' squad, for which he was used in the 118-85 win against Utah Jazz. As a result, he came to other missions z. B. in the 112-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks . In the narrow defeat against Oklahoma, he scored ten points and had no loss of the ball. Overall, Schröder completed 49 of 82 regular season games (two playoff appearances) in his first season and stood on the field for an average of 13 minutes. In the summer, Chief Scout Jeff Peterson was sent to Germany to work with Schröder in Braunschweig in particular on his middle distance throw.

In the 91-86 win against the Los Angeles Lakers on March 15, 2015, Schröder set a new career record with 24 points. He also distributed ten assists in this game and scored the third double-double of his previous NBA career. Due to his greatly improved performance, Schröder was traded as an outsider candidate for the election of the most improved player of the season (Most Improved Player) and received four votes in the journalists' vote. Schröder improved his points yield to 10.0 points in 77 games, 10 of which were on the starting line-up, distributed 4.1 templates and scored 2.1 rebounds per game. In his second year in the NBA, Dennis Schröder developed at an enormous pace into a player of stature. He was brought more and more often by coach Mike Budenholzer in the crucial phases of the game.

On October 26, 2016, Schröder extended his contract for four more years with the Atlanta Hawks. With the departure of the starting point guard Jeff Teague to the Indiana Pacers before the 2016/17 season , he was able to secure a place in the Hawks' starting five .
