Caruso's career is very inspiring. He has excellent athletic skills, but his offensive skills are average and he is an older draft, so when he participated in the NBA draft in 2016, he was completely ignored. By 2017, the Lakers gave Caruso a chance. Since then, he has been playing a substitute for the Lakers, with excellent defense and good three-pointers, and Caruso has slowly gained a foothold. In 2020, Caruso averaged 5.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, helping the Lakers win the championship.

At that time, the Lakers had Caruso, Green and Pope in the backcourt, and their defensive abilities were excellent. Caruso's football service is high and has a strong defense, which is very suitable for playing in the playoffs. However, the Lakers later chose to issue a big contract for Tucker and gave up Caruso directly. Since then, Caruso can only join the Bulls. In the three seasons with the Bulls, Caruso has also performed well and has become more and more offensive scenes. Last year, he averaged 10.1 points per game and was selected into the Best Defensive Team twice, making him one of the best defenders in the league.

So the Thunder gave him an olive branch and offered a 4-year, $81 million contract. This signing was once controversial. After all, it was a four-year long contract and a role player won a big contract. But this year's playoffs, Caruso proved his worth. He is the most experienced player in the Thunder Youth Army and the only player with a championship ring. As the locker room leader, Caruso also put out fires several times at critical moments. When playing against the Nuggets, Caruso had gorgeous data such as 20 points, 6 assists and 5 steals in a single game. After entering the finals, his performance was still perfect. The Thunder fell behind 0-1, and G2 Caruso scored a gorgeous data of 20 points and 3 rebounds. The Thunder fell behind 1-2, and G4 Caruso scored another 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 steals. You should know that Caruso didn't have 20 points in a regular season game, but he has scored 20 points twice in the finals. In the entire finals, Caruso currently averaged 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 50%, which was perfect.

was unknown at that time, and was even given up after winning the championship. Now that he has won a big contract, he can still become a thigh in the finals, and Caruso has achieved a counterattack.
