Top G-League plays from this season. He's been playing extremely well and getting chances with the Lakers NBA team as well. He'll be playing with them against the Mavs tonight.

Very happy for Alex. He has looked good.
Reminds me of myself at his age.
Talking about the hairline, not basketball of course.

Pretty impressive, he looks so much quicker and athletic than in college
goodness gracious!
If he would have played this confidently/aggressive in college can you imagine what would have happened that year ...
...must be the coaching

Or might be the fact that he can spend all of his time and energy in playing basketball.Quote:

Caruso himself should probably get the largest percentage of credit for what he did in college and now as a pro.
Aggie Career assists and steals leader. And a large percentage of guys who go play in the G-League never step on an NBA court.
He improved every year at A&M. It's not a shock that he continues to improve. Impeccable work ethic.
Less athletic ability than Grayson Allen? Sure about that?
Who are you responding to?
Grayson Allen is a pretty freak athlete too.
What are the chances he makes the LA Lakers squad next season? I understand he's on a "2-way" contract and that the Lakers are trying to conserve his remaining contract days with them. That sounds like interest but I have no feel for how hard it is to jump out of G league.
Caruso for A&M's coach in waiting..!

I think this shows he belongs.
His g league team is playing in the single elimination playoffs right now against Oklahoma on one of the espn channels. Alex isn't playing because he was with the Lakers last night.
That Laker's highlight was impressive, even more so because he did the same pass to the same guy in the G league clip.
Lonzo what?
Peace for Ukraine!
Maybe it's just one of those things where it doesnt quite translate from G-league to NBA, but he upped his aggressiveness big time in Gleague, but doesnt seem to do it when he gets the call up to NBA.
Alex started tonight against the Kings, on NBATV now.
Good heads up
Will be starting as soon as he's healthy.
Ball is out and IT is done for the year. Lakers look absolutely terrible when Caruso is on the bench.

Jeff Van Gundy, who led the USA to a 5-0 record and the gold medal at the 2017 FIBA AmeriCup and has led the USA to a 4-0 record in the first two windows of the World Cup Qualifiers, returns as head coach. NBA G League Erie Bayhawks head coach Josh Longstaff and former Georgetown University coach John Thompson III will serve as USA assistant coaches.
Standing 4-0 and atop of the Group C first-round standings, the USA is already assured of being one of the three teams from its group to advance to the FIBA World Cup Qualifying second round.

Xavier Munford(Wisconsin Herd)
David Stockton(Stockton Kings)
Rashawn Thomas(Oklahoma City Blue)
Marcus Thornton(Canton Charge).
"They're together," said USA World Cup Qualifying Team head coach Jeff Van Gundy when asked what he liked about his 12-member squad. "This is a good group of committed athletes that I think are going to represent us well. That doesn't mean that we'll win, but they'll represent us well and they're going to work hard and compete for each other and for the country, and that's all you can ask.
"It's a brutally hard decision and all 14 of the players here were deserving. It came down to keeping an extra point guard versus an extra wing and those aren't easy decisions."
