Why Alex Caruso Is A Perfect Fit On The Thunder

[@stevenaoliver2341]

I am stoked for next year’s team. Absolutely cannot wait for the games to begin. We will again be more than a handful for everyone!!🎉

[@letstalkthunder]

Should be a fun season!

[@RK.Anthony]

❤ Love it! Your take that Caruso is our Derrick White is spot on. This man will bring the juice and I'm talking Spicy V8. A delicious blend of all those vegetables your Mom wanted you to eat cuz they're good for you with a kick! This guy is a pro's pro and we are a big step closer to that 'chip!

In the regular season, I see Caruso as the primary backup for SGA when he visits the bench in the 1st Quarter to assist J-Dub running the offense. He would return again in the 4th Quarter to close out the game, neutralizing the opponent's second best player. This would help save his legs for the playoffs where his minutes would greatly increase.

[@letstalkthunder]

Obviously, this could all be pointless if another trade happens that fills that 4th spot with a no-brainer. But I can absolutely see him starting or coming off the bench. Mark before last season showed a lot of willingness to play with different lineups and start different guys throughout the season. I think we will probably see some that this year where the starters are matchup-based for that specific night's opponent.

[@PatBlom]

SGA usually plays the entire first quarter and is on the bench beginning of the 2nd. A lot depends on what they do the rest of the offseason. Hopefully they find more help on the frontcourt and Caruso comes off the bench

[@PatBlom]

@@letstalkthunder bringing in a Finney Smith or Adjvia could change the rotations making it matchup dependent. Presti isn’t done yet! Lost size with Giddey length I promise he already is working on finding more frontcourt help

[@TJTroupe]

Great vid, Mike! Are you doin' all these edits yourself?

[@letstalkthunder]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes hahaha I find all the clips, chop them up and put them together for every video. It definitely gets tedious and can be super time consuming, but it is all worth it seeing positive feedback like yours and others!

[@capercrusader7129]

Caruso was the shining star when Lonzo got hurt and the Bulls went down hill after. Gonna miss em

[@letstalkthunder]

I’m excited to see what Josh does in OKC, but don’t worry. Thunder fans are going to take good care of your boy Caruso.

[@KBilliez]

I think Caruso would be better for the second unit then Dort would Be for the second unit. But what really matters is the closing unit and I could see them both out there in those minutes

[@letstalkthunder]

I can definitely see your point on Caruso in the second unit. He gives them some extra play making juice when Shai is off the floor and that’s just something Lu isn’t the best at. And I agree, when it matters most in crunch time I think we will see them both. Should be interesting to see how Mark handles it throughout the season!

[@KBilliez]

@@letstalkthunderlove the video, the edited memes are nice touches, I’m making my own videos I know it’s tedious putting all of these clips together 😤😤🔥🔥

[@MeekLeek007]

Awesome editing and Vid. Criminally low views

[@letstalkthunder]

🤝I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it, I'm definitely still getting my feet underneath me with higher production value in my editing, but it's been fun to learn and mess around with stuff. And comments and support like this definitely make the hours of editing, chopping, finding clips and more worthwhile.

Bulls won this trade, OKC will regret moving Giddey

[@letstalkthunder]

I guess we will just have to wait and see 🤷‍♂️

[@elitarbell1728]

That’s insane 😂

[@Goatlikeitornot]

Nah that's not gonna happen

[@KBilliez]

I mean I loved Giddey and always defended him but I think Giddey wasn’t going to reach his potential at OKC. I’m excited for him, I hope he goes crazy in Chicago! But I don’t think OKC will regret the trade

[@gandalfhodl8723]

Lmao what a terrible take. Giddy will be great for the Bulls. Hopefully he can reach his full potential. He just doesn’t fit into what the Thunder are doing right now. There’s a reason he got benched and played low minutes in the playoffs.
