The Oklahoma City Thunder traded for defensive ace Alex Caruso over the summer which has turned out wonderfully on that end of the floor, but the offense is slow to come around.
The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a shocking trade over the summer, shipping former No. 6 overall pick Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls in return for defensive ace Alex Caruso.
Pulling off a one-for-one swap with the Bulls to acquire Caruso was a best case scenario outcome for the Thunder, but also a win for all sides involved. The defensive ace gets to join a title contender, Giddey gets to stretch his legs with more on-ball chances and playing for a guard whisperer in bench boss Billy Donovan.
On the flip side, Caruso is laboring on the offensive end searching for his pathway to produce within the Thunder's system as a scorer while posting 2.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 stocks per game while shooting a lowly 27 percent from the floor, 16 percent from beyond the arc and just 0-for-1 at the charity stripe.
