Schroder was a solid fantasy option last season because he was the starting point guard for a terrible Toronto team. The veteran is walking into a similar situation this season, as he'll likely run point for Brooklyn. The Nets acquired him at the deadline last season, and Schroder averaged 15.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks and 2.2 threes over the final 22 games. That's quite the stat line from a player who was taken at the end of drafts last year. It's safe to expect something similar since the Nets might have the worst roster in the NBA, allowing Schroder to play heavy minutes and rack up stats. The one big question mark is Ben Simmons, who could take ball-handling duties away from Schroder. The Aussie has barely played over the last five years, and we have to assume he won't do much once again. Cam Thomas is the only other player taking away usage, but Schroder should still be the team's primary playmaker. Given Brooklyn is rebuilding, he may be traded at some point, but look for Schroder to be a reliable fantasy asset through the first half of the season.
