Alex Caruso Will Become A STAR In Oklahoma City!



Alex Caruso Will Become A STAR In Oklahoma City!

Oklahoma City just fleeced the entire NBA especially the Chicago Bulls getting rid of a player who cannot play in the playoffs and then outbidding everyone else for one of the best role players in the league that can potentially Elevate them to the next level what a move and today I go over why Alex Caruso can put them over the top there is this misconception that all his value just comes on the defensive end of the floor where he is an all defensive Talent one of the best in the league so most of his value is there therefore I will spend 99% of the video talking about the offensive end of the floor to change the narrative so instantly he becomes one of the highest IQ players on the team on both ends of the floor we know he can shoot the rock this season 3.5 attempts per game while shooting 47.5% from three now his relocation skills pop out to me in the film and showcase his IQ as a player LaVine driving off a screen draws his Defender cruso moves from the corner to the wing to open up the guy in the short Corner his Defender still thinks he’s in the corner he’s now butt naked open for three because he never stopped moving little things man he understands them look at him ever so slightly move up to make the passing Lane clearer and easier for vuvi if he stays in the Corner the pass isn’t possible he always notices his Defender falling asleep he’s cutting every time that happens free dunk as a result if you are defending him you cannot fall asleep you cannot lose him here he just keeps Sid stepping to make himself available vvi jumps in the air puts himself in a terrible situation but Caruso make sure to move and open himself up for the pass Javon Carter dribbles into traffic Caruso keeps moving finds himself open and hits a three on the move like it’s nothing unlike many role players he isn’t onedimensional his off ball ability isn’t just catching and shooting he has skill off the catch attacking Closeouts with quick natural decisions here he forces a reckless close out because of his shooting ability he takes the driving lane left keeps his handle as Shay reaches behind him saves his Handle by hitting a between the legs into the fancy finish at The Rim catches pum fake see you later fake pass to LaVine the defender bites now he finger rolls it up with pride here Demar gets stuck Caruso makes himself available by coming to the ball catches on the Move two dribbles create contact bump the defender stop on a dime turn around mid-range jumper it’s good it looks like he’s going into a dribble hand hand off to the defender Alex guso uses that to his Advantage sweep through move into an Iverson crossover Defender gets broken easy bucket offensive stalls initially but you can always give him a dribble handoff he does his best impression of Chris Paul just controlling the pace and getting to his spot easing into a mid-range jumper now I believe if a team empowered Caruso more offensively there is more to unlock in terms of his on ball game here the magic get lost in the Spain pick and roll so off the screen he just steps into a three off the dribble and drains it with confidence that’s the key with him confidence later in the game he has it Defender goes under big is in drop he pulls without thinking about it contest doesn’t matter it’s good same situation here he takes the space given to him between the legs step back it’s good from distance great screen from Drummond here opens up the lane for Caruso pullup jumper heavily contested no problem it’s good then here in transition you can tell the defender is heavily playing the drive little between the legs into the crossover pull up in your grill eat it he hits the Jets here fron Vagner stays with him but he fights through the contact seals The Edge and finds a reverse layup for two now this season less than 5 ft from the basket he’s shooting 72.2% on two attempts per game this makes him valuable as a finisher in transition now don’t sleep on his ball handling skills either pause it allows him to get to his spots here we see a rare occurrence of him showing it off walk down the defender between the legs quick crossover quick burst classic white man spin move into the face away jumper now my favorite part of his game that makes him so damn valuable as a role player is he’s a quick witted passer just in the flow of things he notices things very quickly here he grabs the offensive rebound one dribble and he realizes dear has a cutting Lane before dear is even cutting and that results in an n one at The Rim they take away the vuvi post up he has the accuracy in balls to make a crosscourt pass to LaVine which opens up a three for him pocket pass from LaVine vvi passes to Caruso and notice how quickly he gets rid of the rock to feed drumman yic has zero chance to recover because of that quick passing decision Bulls gather the offensive rebound Caruso gets it fake jumper into the dime free dunk for Drummond Kobe hits him two heat Defenders converge near him he gets rid of it in 05 seconds creating a scoring Advantage for his big guy here he draws the close out and he has the speed to blow by Isaiah Joe and he draws the defense in kicks out to the three-pointer easy bucket the ball gets tipped to Caruso immediately immediately I mean he recognizes vuvi with position and Zips a pass not wasting any time and overall the vuvi two-man connection made me want to go back and look at the chemistry he had with Anthony Davis and I found some gems not only is he a great play finisher in transition he’s a great passer as well in that situation look at him have the balls to float it up as high as possible and Trust his big to go up and get it plus it was placed perfectly like are you kidding me that’s a ridiculous pass here he goes right to set up the behind the back dribble that gets him to blow by his initial Defender he draws ad’s man bounce pass easy dunk and if you weren’t sold yet he also happens to be very clutch for a role player and is not afraid of shots in big moments roll the clips got it to Bo saved it to White over to Caruso from the Le here turn up the 18 bovich Caruso Alex Caruso to tie again Big Time Players Mak Big Time plays hakz in LaVine B Caruso yeah oh my goodness they Leader by Caruso Zack Caruso for the lead turn up the a it’s C in here same thing for the bucks n man rotation kuso the steel and he’s going to run clock find Williams would be now we haven’t discussed his defense because that’s what he is known for he’s special on that end of the floor on Ball and as a Team Defender he’s everywhere so I will showcase his highlights on the screen as I read a quote from Kevin Durant talking about what he thinks of Caruso after going up against him earlier this season in November a hard worker who is going to do all he can for his teammates that stuff right there he does makes up for a lot of mistakes tonight he got his hands on the ball and was able to knock down threes and that takes him to another level when he’s able to knock down three balls like he did tonight and create off the dribble like he did tonight I don’t even want to call him a role player he’s a guy you can plug with any lineup and he will make the right reads and right plays on the defensive and offensive side and the Bulls are lucky to have him that’s all I got let me know your thoughts

  1. who won the trade? (why am i asking this)… also the analysis part of the video took place during the season so the percentages might be off a bit

  2. As a Thunder fan I’ll forever support Giddey. I’m excited for Bulls fans because they’ll see just how good he is. Shai and JDub just ascended so fast that Giddey couldn’t be put in the role he thrives in. Win win trade imo

  3. I literally told my brother last week that I love watching Sam Presti play poker with a lot of these bad GMs across the league. If the Thunder go get a Claxton type guy now, watch out….

  4. His overall FG% is 46.8 his 3pt % is 40.8 (which is very good)…I really like Caruso but not sure where you got 47.5% from 3pt land? Suggest if you do stats from mid season you say "as of March 15 etc Caruso is shooting"

  5. Causro will be hurt at least 30% of the season. Aging role player with good defense. I'll take the 21 year old with the huge upside. Thank you

  6. You are severely overating giddey caruso is so so much better it’s a joke how badly you got fleeced. He’s not even enes kanter. Okc easily won wonder why everyone give okc an a+ on the deal and bulls a f I wonder why. Giddey can’t shot he can’t play defense he can’t shot distance. He does however show extra effort after school, I know yall are Giddey to be associated with that. Enjoy

  7. Didn't they already have Caruso at one point on their developmental team the blue? Having to trade to get someone you could've just called up years ago isn't a fleece move in my opinion but still a good trade for the thunder

  8. I watched EVERY OKC Playoff game, Giddy was absolutely the weak link, So bad that Dallas did not even cover him! Good riddens
