Nets’ Dennis Schroder hopes to build off strong showing against Hawks

Dennis Schroder’s 3-point shooting Thursday night will likely be an outlier, but so much of his performance must now be a blueprint for the Nets.

He delivered his best game as a Net during the team’s 124-97 drubbing of the Hawks at Barclays Center, dictating what allowed the Nets to, at least for one night, reverse what had been plaguing their offense under interim coach Kevin Ollie.

Schroder, playing in his eighth game with the Nets after they acquired him along with Thaddeus Young from the Raptors in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, recorded 23 points and eight rebounds — both personal highs since arriving in Brooklyn — along with seven assists on a scorching 9-for-15 shooting from the field and 5 of 7 from 3-point range.

It was the second consecutive game Schroder, 30, started after coming off the bench the first two games of Ollie’s tenure.

“[He’s] coming in early, leaving late, getting his work in in the gym, and just keeps digging and planting seeds,” Ollie said after Schroder’s breakout performance.

“And that’s what you gotta do, sometimes you don’t know when they’re gonna blossom, but you gotta plant seeds, and I think he’s been doing that with his extra shooting.”
