What do you think of Alex Caruso?

[AirTupac]

Here's a highlight tape of him shutting down Booker:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjzUdvhPiLI&feature=youtu.be


Vogel has raved about Caruso being an elite defender. AC is often in the death line up in the 4th. Him and LeBron have one of the best net ratings on the team. He's 6'5 and is a GREAT defender. I'd argue hes better than Lonzo.

[superduper]

Amazing 7th option for the Lakers, would be 3rd option on most winning teams.

LeStacked.

[StrongLurk]

Solid backup guard who is low maintenance and can do things that don't show up in the stat sheet too often.

He is definitely not good enough of a dribbler to be a primary ballhander, but solid at most other things.

[Marchesk]

He's a superstar, unlike Ingraham.

[stalkerforlife]

GOAT level role player.

Does it all.

Elite defender.

STACKED.

[Mask the Embiid]

G Leaguer that exudes confidence and elevates his game when lebron is in the arena with him.Goes from a G Leaguer (hell maybe even E Leaguer) to a serviceable backup with lebron.....delly esque



If LeBron wasnt on this team, he wouldnt even be in the rotation and would be overseas by this time next year

[Ghost1]

shave it off

I think of this tune when Carushow checks in.

He dropped 32/10/5 and beat the Clippers without Lebron. :rolleyes:

[LoneyROY7]

He needs to come home and buzz that boy down.

[dbugz]

better than Ingraham

[StrongLurk]

Better than 89 Pippen.

[sammichoffate]

He's a very good athlete despite how he looks, dude has had multiple putback dunks this year. Just a solid backup PG all-around who can run the show when LeBron or AD are out.

[Manny98]

LeBron took him under his wing and made him a great player :applause:

[Ainosterhaspie]

Surprising athleticism and great defensive intensity. Much better athlete than Dellavadova, but not as good a passer. Makes me nervous as primary ball handler, but good off ball threat. Solid role player.

[LAmbruh]

Dellavedova academy in training


Lebron is molding him wonderfully

[BigKobeFan]

racism put him down last year...until we got a head coach who wouldn't pander to racism and be friends with players.

Once again

[red1]

caruso is the white mini-lebron. high IQ specimen with the follicle challenges of a real winner.

[East River Livn']

His offensive stats are disgusting. He's a decent defender with decent athleticism and a high energy guy, nothing more. He's there because the Lakers can't afford a better option. He wouldn't crack the rotation or even make the roster for all but maybe 3 or 4 teams in the NBA

[NBAGOAT]

deserves a lot of rondo's minutes. like others said really good defender and athlete. shooting is poor so far but I think that can turn around a bit.

[Horatio33]

Who is Ingraham?

[imdaman99]

Favorite Laker :banana:

Yeah thats why his stats are the best and hes closing out important games with the Lakers. Most of Laker's best lineups include Caruso in the team. So the team with the best record relies on Caruso but this shit for brains thinks otherwise.

[qrich]

He's a solid backup guard, wouldn't trust him to be my starter. His bbiq is pretty damn high, as is his motor and energy. Doesn't give up on any play, nor backs down from any one. Jack of all trades that does a little of everything but isn't tops at anything.

[East River Livn']

He's shooting 43% and 31% from 3 while scoring 5ppg and 1.9 assists in 20min :biggums:

I know you don't totally judge a guy like Caruso by his stat line but he's nothing special. He's just more filler to go on a team that gutted it's roster to get AD. He's a good character, hustle, 3 and D guy without the 3.

[Real14]

shave it off
Lebron should too.

[bladefd]

He is Lord Caruso to all of you here :cheers:

[BarberSchool]

Ben Gordon told me that:

Caruso

[Bosnian Sajo]

He needs to come home and buzz that boy down.


Nah, at this point it's what makes him stand out for the casual fan to remember him. Kinda like AD's unibrow and Harden's beard.

Absolutely foolish post.


He's a more efficient Patrick Beverley. Caruso has so far been our best perimeter defender, some argue Bradley over him, although I beg to differ considering the difference in games played.

[G0ATbe]

Matthew dellavadova with hops. He's gonna follow the same route too. Get overpaid by a team blinded by the lebron effect and then never be heard from again.

Delly's making 10m this year to avg 2ppg on 25% shooting

Bro you have ZERO clue what you're talking about :oldlol: We actually have solid depth.

Regularly one of the highest + players. Always ends the games with Bron and AD. Best net differential stats are WITH Caruso on the field. I mean i could go on and on but when youre talking with a twerp who checks boxscores, I dont expect much.

[coin24]

He's a fkn stud:rockon: :bowdown:

[AirTupac]

Truly impressive 1st half vs Blazers. People who watch can see why. He literally held everyone scoreless including Dame and Melo on multiple possesions. Insane.

[72-10]

why couldn't Aaron Craft do this?

He's not 6'5 with great athleticism and high IQ like AC

[Laker4Lyfe]

I like him. :rockon:

this tbh

got overlooked his whole career until Lebron

he's a funny mascot

I still think Aaron Craft can go ball if he wants to

[Tayloner]

If guys like Dellavedova can have an impact next to LeBron in big games, then so can Caruso. Good all around player, basically just a slightly above average scorer, shooter and passer, and a good defender. Good complement to the weaknesses of Rondo. Happy to have him play 15 minutes in a big time playoff game. Good find as an undrafted guy.

Lord Caruso is a white collar guy who will put everything he has on the line every game. He reminds me of Kurt Rambis, not in skill or talent but his approach to the game of basketball

[AirTupac]

Caruso dropped 32/10 hitting 10-of-19 from the field, 5-of-7 from deep and 7-of-7 on free throws right before the season ended (while LeBron didnt play). If anything, LeBron has stunted him into being a 6 point type of player but still being the team leading player in +. As evident as 3 games ago when Caruso had 2 points and a game high +23.

[BarberSchool]

Ben Gordon told me that:

Caruso’s hair is the homie who went & pulled hella fire alarms ...
...while LeBron’s hair got away with the daring diamond robbery blocks away.Terminator X told me that:

LeYuan Zhangs wants to keep Caruso on the roster and give him minutes, because Caruso’s hair is the flava flav of balding.

It Takes a Nation of Millions looking at Caruso’s balding, to keep them from Bringing the Noize to LeYuan’s hairline.
