Every championship team needs a player like Alex Caruso.
Oklahoma City’s biggest — and most expensive — move of the offseason was signing Isaiah Hartenstein to a short-term mega contract. It was necessary for a time that struggled with front court depth and needed strength and size down low. Whether Hartenstein starts or comes off the bench, it was a signing that will pay off in a big way down the line.
Every championship team needs a player like Caruso, and even teams with many stars search for someone to fill his role. It’s similar to what Boston was looking for before they added Derrick White. An elite role player that glues the team together and does the dirty work is exactly what Oklahoma City needed. But he’s much more than that.
Here’s an attempt to quantify the best 3 and D guards in the NBA. It’s nothing too complex, just simply the sum of their DLEBRON and 3P% Z-Scores. I think this matches the eye test pretty well.The former Bull is a two-time All-Defensive Team member and a World Champion with the Los Angeles Lakers. He has proven to be able to guard anyone in the NBA.
