Unsigned free agent and Boston Celtics alumnus Dennis Schroder had himself an excellent game with his German National Team in FIBA qualifier play against Luke Doncic’s Slovenian National Team on Saturday, the former Boston floor general putting up 17 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 steals in the 90-71 blowout win.
Schroder managed all of that in 27 minutes of floor time that saw him turn the ball over 3 times and foul just once while shooting 40% from the field overall and a sizzling 4-of-9 from 3-point range, hitting all 3 of his attempts from the charity stripe as well.
Fellow Celtics alumni big men Daniel Theis and Moritz Wagner did not suit up in the contest, both currently questionable for EuroBasket play with injuries that have had them on the bench.

On the other side of the court, Zoran Dragic — brother of Goran — scored a single basket for 2 points, a board, and a steal.
Zoran never suited up for Boston but was briefly a member of the organization after being included in a deal shortly before being waived in 2015.
