Caruso is talented and hungry. His desire, skill and basketball IQ are high level. He can score, pass and he hustles on defense. He definitely knows how to manage an offense.
Caruso was good before he got to South Bay; we were lucky to pick him up especially after losing Maggette to the Hawks. I believe that he is a slight upgrade.
I see him getting playing time in the near future with the Lakers.
His NBA career path is somewhat similar to David Nwaba. Let's hope we can keep him around a little longer though.
IMO he could end up having a career equal to Steve Blake in the right situation. Which was quite respectable.
Um... anyone else want to acknowledge how athletic Caruso may actually be...
Got the feeling if his hair didn't make him look older than he actually is(23) we'd be talking about this a bit more _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

JC may be sticking (pending all the supposed All Star arrivals) but
Ennis is probably out in the future. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !
Caruso showed a real nice two-man game with Zubats. looks better running the floor. More comfortable out there. Hope it translates back into real NBA games

JC is definitely getting traded, his play is good enough where other teams will want him, which is great for the Lakers.
Yes, great that we get young players who show they can play in this league so we can give them away. That is how titles are won! _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Titles aren’t won with young players, they are won with stars. Lakers entire plan is based on getting a star or two in the off season with cap space.
I know the fantasy, we need a backup plan when it fails. And where do you think stars come from? Young players. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

And exactly what JC is good at our team desperately needs. Unless you replace that with a guy who does those things well (which stars do), you're giving up a lot. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night.

It goes without saying that JC only gets traded for a star, not for a lower caliber player. I just think that JC is expendable if the star is available, whether from cap space or trade.
Even the future great DLO was expendable, because of Mr. Cap Space.
Alex Caruso has rejoined the @Lakers as part of his two-way contract and will join the team in Houston.
@ACFresh21 has averaged 18.8 points, 7.5 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 16 @NBAGLeague games this year.
The pope has been summoned!
The Harden Stopper!
Welcome Back Bald Mamba! I wonder if they would have brought him along regardless of the KCP situation. I mean dude is from Texas and Luke seems to be aware of these things.
