The NBA Warriors traded for Schroder on December 15 last year, hoping that he could partner with the Warriors' first brother Curry to form a two-backcourt combination, and at the same time serve as the offensive playmaker when Curry is off. The team's head coach Cole said after the game on the 26th that Schroder's arrival helped the team a lot. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO NBC SPORTS, MANY DATA DON'T SUPPORT THIS CLAIM.

The team's head coach, Cole

'I like Schroder, he's helped us a lot, especially with Curry off the floor and defending, and he's a good combination with Podzemski during this period and I think Schroder is doing well. Cole said after the game. In fact, in the 54 minutes that Schroder and Podemski played at the same time, the plus/minus was only -7.1, which is at odds with Kohl's assessment.

The deal was supposed to address the Warriors' backcourt depth issues, but five weeks on, Schroder hasn't performed as expected. His ability to block and cut in the high post doesn't fit the Warriors' on-the-go offensive system, and the Warriors have even had as many as six 24-second violations in a single game.

In addition, in those 20 games, Schroder and Curry played 243 minutes together, with a plus/minus of -9, which is the second-worst performance of all Curry's partners after Waters.

Schroder has been an 8-12 team since joining the Warriors, averaging just 10.4 points, 2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 0.8 steals per game, shooting 36.8% from the field, 30% from three-point range, and 2.1 turnovers. In addition, Schroder's assists are the lowest in the past five seasons, his three-point shooting percentage is the worst in seven seasons, his scoring is the lowest in the past 10 seasons, the number of rebounds is the second lowest in his career, and the shooting percentage is a career low.

While Cole admits that joining a new team midway through the season is never easy, he believes Schroder is finding his niche and will be an important player in the team. The Warriors' predicament this season is not limited to Schroder's performance, Curry is on the court with an injury, forward Kuminga and star forward D. Green are out due to injury, and Hield (the crosshair is slipping, all of which have affected the team. At present, the Warriors' record is only 22 wins and 23 losses, and the winning percentage is less than 5 percent, ranking only 11th in the West.
