I have not seen Cook play, but if he is better than Caruso was at the end of last season, that is fine with me...

I think Caruso have way more upside but we will see who’s gonna be in rotation . Our coaches should have pretty good idea at practice.

Not that it mattered. But it’s good experience.

Largely because his look defies all sense of coolness... he's becoming my favorite player.

Just watched his highlights... This dude can play. Needs to start next to bron. He gotta get a little buffer, and shave that head, get a couple tats. Poor man's Klay Thompson. He should start. Rondo off the bench.

Caruso is the Kirk Hinrich that Lakers fans have coveted for years.

Caruso just fits in with what we need from PG - defense and shooting. I really hope he’s focusing on his 3 pt shooting, because he’s our only pg who can defend a damn. We need him to knock down those open shots consistently to play next to Bron.

Going to be campaigning for Caruso to start over Rondo and Cook all summer and as long as it takes.

Just another notch on the Lakers scouts belts. We're gonna need them to unearth as many gems as possible with the lack of first round picks every other year. I really hope that Caruso impresses the new coaching staff.

That emoji makes Quinn Cook sound like Brian Cook.

Size, defense (albeit with some holes), passing, all he needs is to be a plus shooter from distance. I also get the impression LeBron is a fan.

Rondo got paid the minimum, Caruso more than that. That bodes well for how the FO views the two. Let’s hope Vogel is smart enough to know that Rondo is a huge liability on defense and essentially useless when Lebron is on the floor with him.

OK I love that play, I think I just noticed KD give a WTF was that look too . He must have had divine intervention and the wings of an Angel to make that play so I guess he is the pope.
