Dennis Schroder was reportedly "not happy" with the decision to bring him off the bench, sources told Michael Grange of Sportsnet.

Schroder signed with the Raptors in free agency last summer with the idea of running his own team after coming off the bench with the Lakers and Celtics in previous seasons.

“Dennis brings a lot of energy to everything that we do. He’s trying to play the right way on the offensive end, he’s very disruptive [defensively] … his mentality and his force is something that really rubs off on our guys very well," said Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic. 

Schroder, who is willing to make his new role work, is averaging 14.8 points and 5.0 assists in his last four games.
