The goal for the preseason remained getting Alex Caruso his needed work in, but also protecting the hard-playing guard against himself.

MILWAUKEE – It’s become common practice for Alex Caruso the last few years.

The Bulls’ hard-nosed wing spends the offseason getting his body right – equal parts on the golf course and in the gym – and then the next six months destroying it.

That’s why coach Billy Donovan said on Sunday that the preseason will be key in making sure that there’s a balance of prioritizing Caruso preparing himself for the regular season, but at the same time protecting the first-team All-Defensive player from himself.
