Big-time defensive effort… btw he's hitting 42.6% of threes this year

Without knowing anything about Alex Caruso, the average basketball fan would think there's no way based on college stats he would make it... https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/2991350/type/mens-college-basketball

He's 29 and is a journeyman rotation player with a ring. Very fortunate.

He's better than the "journeyman" moniker. He's a terrific defender and a decent 3 point shooter to warrant a spot on any team.

He's fortunate about his path to the NBA, but he's put in a lot of work to stay in the league.

Contrarians shouted down any A&M fan and Caruso fan when we opined about his chances in the league.

That's why we should allow discussion instead of shouting down opinions or just being a know-it-all turd.

Caruso proved many wrong on these boards. I think we are all glad he did!

Not knowing who Mo Cheeks is a baffling stmt. as that guy was a mainstay defensive guard on the 76rs with Dr J and others...hmmm, guess I'm getting old. But the NBA was better back in the 80s anyways.

Mo played his college basketball at West Texas A&M (West Texas State University at the time)!

OKC will go deeper into the playoffs next year. It's a young team that will benefit from Alex' leadership.

Alex also turned 30 and isn't likely to be the key to a Bulls turnaround. His trade didn't include draft picks from OKC The Athletic noted and they were also surprised by that.

Caruso going to a small market club normally wouldn't be gaining an advantage, but the Thunder are definitely putting together a great team that is mostly under club control and younger. So I agree his experience will bring an additional value past just his defense and now fixed 3pt shot.

I also believe he could follow the Kidd and Redick path.

Hope Alex has a big season... If he does, he will get his biggest deal ever. Nobody deserves it more.
