Bogdanovic is not going anywhere though, he found home in Indiana.

After we sign Caruso we can send him to Bojan’s house with a Uhaul truck and he is as good as ours....

Also, Caruso looks like a guy who leads a three man mover team and drives a uhaul.

He's big too... gets a lot of steals... shot 40% from three on a limited NBA sample, but high 30s is believable. He gets in the lane and the turnovers are high. He's older so not necessarily a project, but if there was a guy who was going to be the next Joe Ingles (guy who keeps improving even if it doesn't make a ton of sense) I think Alex is a solid bet.


We know he is confident AF... anyone trying to dunk on Rudy or pull off the long balding hair and mustache combo is a confident dude... right or wrong.

Being in LA and having a regrettable number of friends who are Lakers fans, I've watched a fair amount of Caruso lately. I think it's pretty clear that the game is slowing down for him. I really like how he has his head up and finds his own rhythm.
 
I wonder if he’s really that good or if he just plays for a crappy lakers team. I don’t think he’s started material IMO of course.

Every time I have watched him, including summer league last year, he has stood out. He's confident and seems like a pretty intelligent player... or maybe he has good instincts. High steal rate and the guy plays his *** off. Love guys that are on the NBA fringe and fight their way to a spot. Seems to run the team pretty well. Then he makes an explosive play or two that make you think there is something more there.

I'm comfortable saying I think he's a solid NBA backup... and think there might be more there in the right system with the right development staff. Good bargain option for us I think.

He makes me short circuit. Basically, my brain is like, "yeah, he's starter material" while still processing he's Alex Caruso.

I don't think he's starter material (at least not in the West). I do think he's a good back-up; and since our guard depth is basically gutted, there's definitely a spot for him here. I think he'd fit within our system, too.

I'm not sold on him being a starter, but I'm also not sold on him never being a starter. He's playing very well and if he continues his play or improve, he might make you short circuit too.
 
Grayson Allen is doing something similar to what Caruso is doing. Caruso is in his second year as well.

Caruso looks like a dude who sold his youth of 20 years, just so he could play in the damn league. As a matter of fact, he probably really did at the crossroad.
 
Can't really tell the difference between him, Grayson and Pat Connaughton. All end of bench/rotation materials. Nothing more
