The Thunder could use another scoring punch off the bench and Caruso has yet to deliver.
Oklahoma City’s offseason trade has resulted in a stifling defense, but it also expected a larger impact on the other end.
While there are plenty of areas to pin the loss on, a troubling trend continued in Denver. Alex Caruso has struggled to find his way offensively with the Thunder and had his worst game of the season on Wednesday. He scored two points on 1-of-9 shooting, missing a few layups and all three of his shots from beyond the arc.
Last season in Chicago, Caruso averaged 10.1 points and 3.5 assists while shooting 46.8% from the floor and 40.8% from outside. That version of Caruso seems foreign to what the Thunder have witnessed thus far. In eight games, Caruso has gone scoreless twice and failed to score more than six points in a game. He has also shot 50% or better only once and has made only three 3-pointers this year.
