DeRozan: Schroeder is a fighting dog&& Mr. Big Show. This position really struggled after last year’s trade period.

October 14th Recently, Kings star DeRozan talked about his new teammate Schroeder in an interview.

DeRozan said: "Man, he is a really fierce opponent. Every time I play against Schroeder, he is as fierce as a pitbull. He will talk trash to you, and he will force you. He is a big-player. From the Hawks to here, he is as fierce as the league. Playing with some of the top players, he's been a contributor to the team's success wherever he goes.

"Playing with a player like that makes everything easier, and his presence makes the job of the guys in the rotation easier. We really struggled at this position after the trade last year, and now that we can get him, we hope he will be an important reinforcement. "
