Fresh off a strong FIBA World Cup victory with Germany, Dennis Schroder shared his thoughts on the NBA’s defensive style following his debut with the Toronto Raptors.
“In FIBA, you can really play with contact on the defensive end. The NBA got a little softer on the defensive end and all those touchy fouls,” Schroder commented, addressing the contrasting defensive approaches between international and NBA basketball.
The seasoned guard made a notable impact during his debut game with the Raptors, leading the team’s offense with an impressive 22 points and 7 assists, contributing significantly to their 97-94 triumph over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
