It is hard to believe that Alex Caruso was an undrafted guard considering that he is not arguably the most important role player for a Los Angeles Lakers team chasing its 17th NBA championship.
Caruso’s defensive tenacity and penchant for making key plays has earned him a pivotal spot in head coach Frank Vogel’s rotation and he has not disappointed despite playing in his first playoffs.
The guard has had the unenviable task of defending stars like Damian Lillard and James Harden but he more than held his own in tough matchups that swayed series in the Lakers’ favor.
