Lakers News: Frank Vogel Calls Alex Caruso ‘Star Defender’ During 2019-20 NBA Season

Over the last couple of seasons, Alex Caruso has quickly become one of the most popular players on the entire Los Angeles Lakers roster.

After graduating from a two-way to a standard NBA contract this summer, Caruso has remained one of the more important pieces to the Lakers rotation.

His numbers don’t stand out on a box score, but there have been countless games in which Caruso has sparked the Lakers when he enters a game. One example came in the team’s recent win over the New Orleans Pelicans when Caruso took just one shot, but was a team-high +23 and was on the floor to close out the game.
