Caruso is playing All-NBA defense whenever he feels like it. Even MJ is lucky to be retired at this point, he regularly wakes up in the fetal position crying anyway, having haunting nightmares of the Carushow shutting him down and dunking in his face. _________________ Frankie Vogel goes to Hollywood

Props to Rob for keeping this kid out of the AD trade. He changes the momentum of the game with his defense.
Something tells me the Pels weren't mad at Rob for keeping him off the table. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
not even close. Shannon Brown was a one trick pony with his highlight dunks. he was never the defensive stopper/offense initiator/spot up shooter/dribble penetrater AC has been this year.

Our new Trevor Ariza
Yea Ariza sounds good lol
Ive been thinking of him as a combo guard version of Ariza for a while. Both just had that knack to pull off those momentum pushing plays. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi

almost half of Lakers active players are defensive minded...

Davis, Howard, McGee, Alex and Rondo ...
Rondo defensive minded?
Lol definitely not Rondo, at least not Rondo now. Rondo in his Boston days sure.
The Lakers defensive specialists are AD, McGee, Dwight, Danny, Avery, KCP, Caruso, and for the most part LeBron. That's 8 out of 11 regular rotation players that would get at least one vote for an NBA all defensive team.

One of the more unsung heroes of the Lakers defense is reserve guard Alex Caruso, who ranks sixth in the NBA in individual defensive rating as the Lakers allow just 96.9 points per 100 possessions in his 19.9 minutes per game on the court. Among players that average fewer than 20 minutes per game, Caruso ranks second in steals (1.1 per game) and third in deflections (2.3 per game) - both of which help the Lakers hold the second-best opponent turnovers percentage (16.6%) in the league.
In 133 minutes of defensive matchup time, Caruso has held his matchups to 43.5% (64-147) shooting from the field and 29.2% (14-48) from beyond the arc. Caruso's ability to force turnovers (31 by his matchups) and contest shots (4.6 per game) without fouling (six total shooting fouls committed) have made him a valuable piece in Frank Vogel's rotation. The Lakers' defense is 9.4 points per 100 possessions better with Caruso on the court (96.4 DefRtg) than when he's off the court (105.8).
