Dennis Schröder hasn’t had much of an impact on the Warriors so far, but coach Steve Kerr sees no reason to panic about Golden State’s recent takeover just three games ago.

“It’s (Schröder’s) third game with us, so it’s going to take some time,” Kerr told reporters after the Warriors’ 111-105 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday at Chase Center. “But I love what I see from Dennis, just in terms of ball pressure. I thought he did a great job defensively. He’s a guy who can start as a shooter.”

“I’ve seen him and I know it’s only a matter of time before he starts knocking them down, but there will be nights when there won’t be any shooting. “But Dennis is a great addition for us and he will help.” “We win a lot of games.”

Schröder finished Monday’s loss with a team-worst minus-22, shooting three of nine balls for nine points, three assists and zero rebounds in 30 minutes.

After averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game with the Brooklyn Nets this season, Schröder has averaged 7.7 points and 3.7 assists in three games since joining the Warriors. Golden State is 1-2 in those games.

But as Kerr noted, it’s a small sample size. Nevertheless, the Warriors acquired Schröder in the hope that he could provide more offense alongside Steph Curry. However, with the February 6 NBA trade deadline still weeks away, the Warriors still have some time to see if Schröder ends up being a fit before deciding if and when to make another move.
