Alex Caruso gave Kevin Durant hell last night. Deep dive on how he did it.
Turn sound on to hear why Caruso is a defensive savant.
Breakdown of Caruso’s performance defensively last night vs the Suns.
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.
Neither will we.
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.
Would you give up 2 1sts for him?
only to trade tht for pretty much nothing. they believed all the laker fan/media hype with tht, how do you discover a gem like caruso and just let him walk like that. smfh.
i was jus about to comment this. even before i had the knowledge hindsight brought i knew THT over Caruso jus wasn’t good. fuckin makes me nauseous lol
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
You didn’t account for the dawg coefficient.
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.
Gotta get up in his mentions too
Man the short time that Caruso+Ball lasted was fantastic. Shame Lonzo ended up like this
I miss Lonzo. Those two were a scary combo
Caruso may be their best player
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
