Can Dennis Schroder be the veteran leader in the Brooklyn Nets tank season?

Does the roster need a veteran player like Schroder to instill professionalism into the team’s young players?

Can Dennis Schroder be the veteran leader in the Brooklyn Nets tank season? The Brooklyn Nets have picked their path forward into the future, strip-mining the roster for future assets and young talent as the ball club commits to a full rebuild.

And with that full rebuild comes a whole lot of questions about the identity and hierarchy of the team moving forward. Will the team identity matter, given few if any players on the roster now might be on the team when it is over? Or does the roster need a veteran player like Schroder to instill professionalism into the team’s young players, regardless of where they will be playing in a few seasons?

The hosts of the “Locked On Nets” podcast took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over this very question. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about the role of Schroder and the identity of the team at the start of a major rebuild.
