Schroder had the best year of his career for the Thunder in '19-'20, but that season seemed to be an outlier as Schroder has bounced around - playing on eight teams in the past five seasons. He had some solid moments for the Pistons during the back end of the regular season and into the playoffs. Schroder never lived up to the defensive potential that many believed he had coming out of the draft in 2013, but he was actually very good in that regard for the Lakers in '22-'23, and still shows flashes of solid defense. His defense was one of the main reasons he eventually supplanted D'Angelo Russell in the starting lineup in the 2023 playoffs, and often closed games even when he wasn't starting. He doesn't get blocks or steals at a high rate but is a solid on-ball defender when he is locked in, which he has been for the past few seasons. Offensively, Schroder can create for himself or others, and can do so out of pick-and-roll or just in an isolation situation. He doesn't have an elite handle in the way someone like Kyrie Irving does, but he has the ability to blow by defenders with his quickness, even as he has aged into his 30s. Off the ball, Schroder doesn't shoot much on the move so he's not somebody that you're going to run pin-downs for or anything, but he is at least enough of a threat as a spot-up shooter that teams tend to guard him. However, his outside shooting is still a weakness for him. He shot 35% from 3 in '24-'25, which is right around his career rate. If his shooting gets worse and opponents get to the point where they stop guarding him, he could struggle to add value on offense at all. He has also hasn't shown to be the easiest guy to get along with, but those issues seemed to go away recently at least. The best teams for Schroder would be teams that are competitive, need some backcourt shot creation, have other options if he doesn't work out, and have a strong culture that they're not worried about being disrupted. Schroder will be nearly 32 years old as a free agent in 2025, so teams may be worried about regression, but his solid play in Detroit should give some teams interest.
