While Dennis Schroder hopes to stay with the Nets, his managers could hire one of his former coaches, with Mike Budenholzer. The former Bucks coach is one of the three technicians on the shelves of GM Sean Marks, and listening to the German leader, this possible arrival would give him great pleasure. It must be said that the two men worked alongside each other for five years in Atlanta!
“Coach Bud was great, he taught me a lot” explains Schroder to New York Post. “I was 18, 19 years old when I arrived in the NBA, and I was still a little crazy. I thought Germany was like Atlanta, I could easily translate my game to the NBA. He gave me all the keys to be good on and off the field, to make sure that I was progressing even off the field and that I was in a good situation. »
Jordan Nwora also validates this choice
Listening to the world champion, their relationship went beyond the field. “He always spoke with me, with my family. It was always great. He helped me a lot off the field and on the field. … When he won his title, I called him and it was special for me to see him win. I always had a very good relationship with him. »
For his part, Jordan Nwora knew him at the Bucks. “He knows what it takes to win a title. He is excellent. He knows how to put the pieces of the puzzle together and make it happen. He was able to do it when I was there and I'm sure he will be able to do it again if he decides to become the coach here. (…) It's just a matter of time and I'm sure he's a qualified enough coach to do the job. He knows what he's doing. And not just him. I'm sure if he were the coach, he would put the right staff in place to do the job. »
