Dennis Schroder talks about the upcoming regular season with the Toronto Raptors
In a Fan Nation's "All Raptors" article by Aaron Rose, Schroder discussed the leadership mindset he has heading into the 2023-24 season for the Toronto Raptors.
"On the court, I never ask anybody for things (that) I wouldn't do," Schroder said, "and I think I compete on the highest level every game. I treat it like it's my last game that I have and try to lead by example. Practice days, there, be early, I mean, and just show the young guys (how) to be a professional."
From Dennis Schroder's point of view, the goal to connect with his Raptors is crucial for the duration of the regular season.
"Just try to find the chemistry," Schroder said, "because chemistry, at the end of the day, is the most important and having fun with everything.
"For me, it's just helping the young guys, helping my teammates. I had a lot of great veterans with Al Horford, Kyle Korver, Jeff Teague, DeMarre Carroll, Lou Williams, a lot of people who took care of me and I tried to do the same thing for my team, be there for Darko on the court, but off the court as well."
With Fred VanVleet gone from the team, the responsibility lies on Schroder's shoulders to lead a team filled with young and promising NBA talent.
