    Durant is 6’ 11”. Caruso is 6’ 5”, 6 inches shorter.

      Can we please see Caruso play for a real contender during his prime?

      I’ll never get over the Lakers choosing THT over Caruso.

        The Heats should have enough salary (Lowry + Duncan) to get Caruso and one of Lavine/Derozan.

        Problem is I don’t think Riley gonna put out 3+ FRP picks for that.

      1st team all defense for a reason. He’s had trouble staying healthy the last couple seasons but this man should be in the starting lineup. I hope whatever decisions the Bulls make this year they keep Caruso.

        Last season they protected Caruso’s health by limiting his minutes. It was the season before last that Grayson Allen injured him.

          Yeah, fuck Greyson Allen. Not saying he’s injury prone just this is the first time in a while he looks 100% and this consistently good

      Watched KD for years. The player that gave him the most trouble was Tony Allen, who’s about the same size as Caruso.

      The trick to guarding KD isn’t about effecting his shot as much as It’s about getting in his space and effecting his dribble.

      Man the short time that Caruso+Ball lasted was fantastic. Shame Lonzo ended up like this

      we would be legit contenders if we had Caruso instead of D’Lo. And KCP with us instead of with Nuggets.

      Kd struggles more with smaller stout defenders than people his size. He’s always gonna have too much wiggle for someone who is 6’8 or something around that. Ofcourse there are exceptions but generally it’s better to put someone smaller who can disrupt him getting to spots before he rises up
