Disagree. If he can hit that shot consistently the he'll be the best player from this draft.

He still has issues finishing at the rim though... if he does that he's there.

I also agree that those 2 plays from schroedrer illustrate why burke is bust.

Exactly
The Jazz FO have known about Schroeder longer than any of us have. They scouted him quite a bit and brought him in to work out. Obviously, they had Burke higher on their board. It also sounded like the Jazz would have taken Olynyk before Schroeder too, fwiw. Schroeder has undeniable potential, but is he really the guy you want running the team? It seemed like a bit of a risky proposition.

Corbin pushed for Burke. Nuff said.

I haven't seen last nights game, but I watched the Hawks public practice that was streamed.
But I think if you pair Schröder either with a 2nd ballhandler it will allow you to make deception plays. Like playing a high PnR with the 2nd guard coming off a backscreen from the corner. You do the horns-style entry pass and from there on you have a fast set that develops. Just an example. There's plenty deception plays.
Good thing about an elite defender at PG is that you can exhaust a star PG on the other team and force them to make adjustments in the way they bring the ball. Also you have a great chance to get stops and some lazy *** veterans often get ignited by the 'young blood' playing intense.
The other logical choice at this point is having a superstar iso player in your ranks. Gives you time for 1 or 2 attempts to play a set. If not hand it to Dr. Iso with 5-10 on the shotclock and he can do magic.

I'm not gonna lie, I was heart broken when we didn't take Schroeder... I really did have my heart set on him. Great kid trying to make a living... it's a pity the Jazz got cold feet because of his wayward attitude.
