Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso has amassed a cult following unlike anything the NBA has seen in quite some time. His highlight reel dunks have gotten national attention as fans don’t expect Caruso to have that type of athleticism.
But those who have watched the Lakers closely have taken notice of how good of an overall player Caruso has been for the team this season. More than the highlights, Caruso has been excellent on defense and has great chemistry with LeBron James.
Simply put, Caruso just seems to find ways to help the team win when he’s on the floor.
