Dennis Schroder speaks on German NT 2022 EuroBasket participation, rookie sensation Franz Wagner

Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder spoke on the potential recruitment of several German NBA players in the national team. He also shared his thoughts in the 2022 EuroBasket, which will take place in September.

Germany will be among the hosts as the preliminary round will take place in Cologne. The EuroBasket will be taking place in four different countries between 1-18 September. Berlin will host the final round of the competition featuring the last 16 teams.

The last EuroBasket to be held  in Germany was seven years ago. The German NT eliminated by Spain in the preliminary round. Schroder was part of that team alongside Dirk Nowitzki.

He was just 22-years old in his second year with the Atlanta Hawks, who selected him in the 2013 NBA Draft with the 17th pick. The German guard reminisced his time with the national team in his first big tournament.

“It was extremely important for my career,” Schroder said on his 2015 participation at a press conference in Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz Arena.

The Rockets guard also talked about his relationship with other German players claiming that the Orlando Magic rookie Franz Wagner is the best wing their national team ever had.

“He’s very, very strong on defense and offense. We’ve never had anyone like that on the national team,” he said for Wagner.

As for the rest of the team, the veteran guard received great feedback from the rest of the NBA players.

“I spoke to Daniel Theis: he definitely wants to play. The Wagner brothers want to play, and so does Isaac Bonga. Maxi Kleber said he needs to see how he feels at the end of the season.”

The Germans will meet defending champions Slovenia, France, Lithuania, Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 2022 EuroBasket preliminary round in Cologne.
