Dennis Schroder has done the rounds on NBA Twitter. He went from underrated in his first two stints with the Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma City Thunder to overrated, a natural journey for an talented player who could be a trade asset for a LeBron James-led team.

While the Cs did establish themselves as a championship-level threat, it wasn’t really until after they dealt him away to a rebuilding Rockets squad that they were able to do so.
