NBA ROLE: TWO-WAY PLAYMAKER

 

Alex Caruso: an athletic, 6’5 lockdown defender & playmaker who single-handedly influences a more passioned effort in the lineup; makes very sound reads (pocket passes, lobs, whip backs), looks to establish teammates before noticing his own avenues to score - able to push the break & maintain pace when the starters rest; very good athlete, likes to attack the basket (can slam over the top when given enough space) at angles - needs to continue developing floaters & leaners near the rim; long-range game can be rocky, Caruso’s prefers to do damage as a slasher, distributor & spot shooter on offense; one of the game’s most effective (and versatile) defenders*, has mastered concepts & brings a 100% effort to every matchup - Caruso slides his feet and closes the distance well - draws tough assignments, racks up blocks + steals outta the backcourt; former Summer League Champ to NBA Champ! - huge fan favorite in Chicago (& across the league): Caruso’s solidified himself as a varied threat - wreaks havoc as a SG/SF/PF for Coach Billy Donovan
