Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 67, Alex Caruso is a deep-bench point guard whose value in Backcourt is roster cover rather than regular minutes.

The game suggests the Floor general role for him — a player who runs the offense and sets up everyone else, with low usage of his own. With passing (62), basketball IQ (69) and speed (70), it rates the fit as “Workable”: sound rather than special.

For a point guard, his standout attributes are three-point (79) and defense (70), in the top 20% and 27% of point guards respectively.

The trade-off is passing (62), in the bottom 27% of point guards — let someone else run the offense and keep his decisions simple.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 58 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.

At 32 he is at or past his peak, so his value is in the seasons he is playing now.

He earns $3.8M a season with a transfer value of $5.5M — fairly priced for his rating.
