One year ago, Dennis Schroder was struggling to find an NBA contract, and today here he is, world champion and World Cup MVP! Even if he was not elected MVP of the final since the trophy was given to Franz Wagner, the former leader of the Thunder and the Lakers finished top scorer with 28 points, in a much more sober style, and with a rise in power over the minutes. He also defended Bogdan Bogdanovic very well in the second half, to the point that the Serb only scored one shot, on an offensive rebound.
Great consistency in FIBA competitions
Schroder received his trophy from Carmelo Anthony, and he finished this World Cup with 19.1 points, 6.1 assists and 1.4 steals. All at 44% on shots, including 33% on 3-pointers, and 84% on free throws. What impresses about him is his consistency in the biggest events, and he has led Germany to two medals in a row. Bronze at the Euro in 2022, and therefore gold in this World Cup.

For the best five of the competition, the FIBA associated with him Bogdan Bogdanovic (Serbia), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), Anthony Edwards (United States) and Luka Doncic (Slovenia). One of the strangest fives since there are only rears…
