Masstown farmer launches pumpkins over a kilometre for charity | SaltWireWhen all is said and done, the key for the Raptors this year may wind up being Dennis Schroder.

As evidenced this past summer at the FIBA World Cup, Dennis Schroder is an exceptional talent in his own right, but his greatest skill may be in bringing all the pieces together. We bring up Herbert because Darko Rajakovic sounds very much like he’s ready to put a lot of responsibility for the team on Schroder’s plate.

Both men claim there was an instant connection when Schroder arrived in Oklahoma City after the team that drafted him 17th overall, the Atlanta Hawks, sent him away in a three-team trade after five seasons in the organization. And while few around the league are giving the Raptors much of a chance of anything beyond an appearance in the play-in game come playoff time, both Rajakovic and, even a little more vocally, Schroder are bullish on their chances.

“In the games he goes way too fast,” Schroder observed. “But I mean, when I was at 18, 19 and came here I was only one speed too. So, I mean, that’s the process. You’ve got to go through it and he’s going to get it.
