Could Alex Caruso Be the Unsung Hero Revolutionizing Role Players Forever?
With today’s financial constraints brought along by the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), you can no longer merely stack stars and hope to compete for championships (sorry, Phoenix Suns).
Nowadays, having two stars and flanking them with well-rounded role players is a much more sustainable model (see the Indiana Pacers).
Ideally, those role players should be able to knock down open/semi-contested 3s, attack closeouts, move the ball quickly, and fulfill multiple duties on defense (guard the point of attack, create turnovers, offer secondary rim protection, etc.).
