This edition covers Dennis Schröder signing with the Sacramento Kings.

A starting role awaits Dennis Schröder in Sacramento. After spending last season with a handful of teams—being traded twice in the process—Schröder now seems set to stay in Sac-Town.

Schröder joins a Kings team still looking for answers at the point guard position after shipping away De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs. At least to start Year One, Schröder looks like the starting guard and primary ball handler alongside DeMar DeRozan.

The Kings have been running Keon Ellis as their starting point guard in the wake of the Fox trade, but Schröder offers more offensive upside. His role won’t be massive—the aforementioned Ellis and rookie Devin Carter are both ready for plenty of NBA minutes—but Schröder is still a tier above those two in terms of offensive polish.

Schröder looks like a screaming buy in deep leagues if he’s sitting on a rebuilder’s roster right now, and he’s an add wherever available—except for the shallowest of leagues. He’s someone I’ll be targeting in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Last season, Schröder averaged 13.1 points, 5.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 28 minutes per game.
