Caruso and Lonzo on the floor together is a fucking masterclass. We have been robbed of one of the potentially best defensive duos of the decade and I'm so hurt as a Bulls fasn.v I hope Zo is back soon.
Stat wise, Best duo I've ever seen...not joking, Outscoring the other team by 33 points per 48 minute when they are on the floor at the same time...Their defense complements each other plus both of them have high IQ so they can generate a lot of offense for the team.. hence outscoring them..
Laker die hard here. When I see Caruso take his game to the next level it makes me extremely sad. Caruso is a generational defensive talent. If you watched the Lakers in 2019-2020 you saw his intangibles. He was already a great defender back then, now he is elite in his own category. I miss him. We have lost the defensive identity we once had. Yes we are still good but it is not near as to how we once were. He will always be a Laker legend for life. A champion. He is the creme de la creme. The best of the best. Bron said it best, Caruso is the GOAT. Perhaps he will be a Laker again, but the window is short. Now would be the time to go after him if the fates allow.
His breakout on the NBA scene was incredible. And he has done nothing but improve every year since. That’s a championship player that fits on every NBA roster
I am so convinced that Alex Caruso is just the better version of Marcus Smart in every aspect. Marcus Smart wasn't even the most impactful defender on his team the year he won DPOY, I'd say it was either Al Horford or Robert Williams. Caruso imo is the best defensive guard in the league, leads the league in LA-DRAPM. In two of the last three seasons his team finished top 5 in defensive rating, #1 in the 20-21' Lakers, and #5 in the 22-23' Bulls. He's #1 in defensive playmaking (combines steals, deflections, blocks, and offensive fouls drawn). Almost all impact metrics consistently have him as a top 10 defender in the league, not just amongst guards while Smart is no where to be seen. His playmaking is underrated asl, just gets overshadowed since DeRozan and Lavine are very ball dominant. And he's the more consistent shooter in comparison to Smart who will have games where he shoots like Andre Roberson and then the next game he starts shooting like Ray Allen. He should've been a finalist for DPOY at least once or nominated but the awards are just narrative driven these days, and that's been proven with the Jokic-Embiid race and Smart winning it last year.
Caruso is just pure effort and heart on every play. Just 💯 effort and it shows. Crazy he came up from the G league and was overlooked. He makes it tough for any opposing team. Always fun to watch. Glad he got his chance snd hasn’t looked back.
I love your clips!! Those are the only videos that allow me to fully digest a player's trait and to figure out hos game. In this video I was thinking about Caruso's sagging off player to help or double team, and how often he is successful in his helps. Next time I'll see him I'll have something new to look out for, all thanks to you evin!
@@ninjachannel007 Didn't need hindsight, it was obvious at the time. He played a crucial role on a championship NBA team and they didn't have a good replacement for him. I don't believe they win in 2020 without him. Stats won't show that but if you watch you see his impact in forced turnovers, deflections, charges, etc. Not to mention he turns on his offense button sometimes and pairs extremely well with Bron.
why im proud to be a bulls fan (people are forgetting hes gonna be out 2023-2024 season.... thats his 2nd season now hes gonna be injured... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭) (alex do be clamping himself doe)
Evins first defensive highlight reel in over a year! We have been blessed! Much appreciated.
Had to make sure it wasn’t *just* steals & blocks so I went through every Caruso game so it took a minute to put together
Love these you should do Deanthony Melton

Lowkey need a Zo & Caruso Synergy Video! They had the best chemistry I’ve seen since Bron & Wade‼️

Ya Smart did not deserve that DPOY award, he can hustle but I don't think he matches the IQ of Alex.
You made an excellent point. These rewards just don’t feel the same when they go to undeserving players.
I think Jrue Holiday matches Caruso for best on-ball defender in the league.

He's so good, one of my dream pick up on the mavs.

And Lakers chose THT🤦🏾♂️
Upside. THT is 6'5 with a 7'2 wingspan, and he was 20 at the time. Caruso got better since that decision, and he is pushing 30. Hindsight is 20/20.

@@ninjachannel007and they traded THT too.😂😂😂
They thought Reaves is better than him lol
@@JasperAGreaves is better offensively and Alex is better defensively
He has been a 1st team level defender for about 4-5 years now. Glad he finally got his due.
The dude is a defensive pest on and off the ball. Mad respect for Carusso.
Caruso's basketball is touching
DPOY caruso big W
welcome to okc
WELCOME BACK*
I’m so impressed by how far this dude has come. He was used like a spark plug on the lakers. Glad to see he’s way more than just that
Pretty sure he been tearing up courts his whole life don't believe the media
Great video man 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great upload...thanks
He's a great help defender.
Defense master
Goated vid, i know caruso would fit anyhere in NBA he's a team-first player
GOAT
COOKIES, BISCUITS, DELCIOUS!! 😂
The fact that he doesn't foul and still gets all those kleptomane steals is a wonder. His lower body is incredibly strong.
Love his defense
Great defense I am bulls fans
Bald Mamba, we miss you.
The best defender Chicago Bulls has had since MJ.
You are so precise
You mean Pippen right
@@timboslice8559 He' 's up there with Pippen and Rodman.
why im proud to be a bulls fan
(people are forgetting hes gonna be out 2023-2024 season.... thats his 2nd season now hes gonna be injured... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭) (alex do be clamping himself doe)
what Fking menace xD
Sixer at the Trade Deadline?
We need a Davion Mitchell video next
Put out some Anthony edwards highlights
Also how many times did the bulls play the raptors😂😂😂
3 regular season plus the play-in game...trust me, I had A LOT more clips vs the Raptors in the bag
I love it. Caruso owns Sam's raptors@@EvinGualberto
I still don't understand why the Lakers let him go and kept Horton-Tucker and the others.
Will CARUSO, lead the Bulls, to
A championship? If NOT what?
An east championship, or win
A couple of playoff games?
Dpoy
Ps I love you
COOKIES
I thought bro was gay the way he busting ass
Only good white perimeter defender in the nba
I never understood what Lakers were thinking…😑😑😑
