NBA - Main

No offence but the actual more advanced n better plus minus derived data like epm show he’d a big negative on offence but his defence value is higher. Ultimately I’m gonna go with eye test . Those metrics are clearly flawed . Caruso doesn’t start or get starter minutes for a bad team. On a good team or in the playoffs he’ll get treated like 2021 playoffs : dared to shoot n ignored , passes out of good looks, doesn’t shoot well etc he’s a non factor on offence and it’s why he was let go ultimately. I miss him so does ever lakers fan but it’s absurd if you watched him to think he’s nothing but a niche filling role player. His offence looks far worse too especially without Bron. He’s not a player contenders are dying for because they watch every game and see him routinely go scoreless or hit one shot. Still has uses but flaws , that he can’t grow out of .
