Alex Caruso, whom the Los Angeles Lakers recently signed to a two-year $5.5 million deal, has been great in his time as the team’s backup point guard, providing defensive intensity, hustle, and a great feel for where to go and what to do when on the floor. He also can play either guard position, and can be an impact player with or without the ball in his hands.
His athleticism also let’s him make hard cuts to the basket, cut off passing lanes, and be an overall pest on defense, which has translated to transition opportunities on the other end for the Lakers.
