2- Cook. Guy needs minutes. We need dudes with uber confidence like him.
3- Not going to lie: I burned Dwight Howard's jersey. The only time I've ever done such a thing. I'm pulling for him.

I think being down on Caruso not steamrolling through the preseason as a playmaker would be like getting mad at Derek Fisher for not carrying the team when Kobe missed a game. That's just not who he is. To me he's a Patrick Beverly or Dfish with better offense.
With this roster the offense must run through Lebron and AD. Despite AD scoring a ton when he's out there, I dont think we feature him enough. I need to see him operate at a high percentage with those iso perimeter moves he drilled all summer with Jrue Holiday. If Davis can't dominate the game on offense a la Dirk Nowitski style, I dont think we stand a chance to close out a big game in the playoffs. At least not with this roster construction.
Give it a rest! Caruso is likely 3rd on the depth chart where he belongs. He's neither the best PG defender nor the best 3 point shooting PG on the team. It boggles my mind why people continue to use stats from 1/3 of a season to make the assertions you've made.

And the best defensive pg on the roster in your opinion is who? I never said he was the best 3pt shooting pg on the roster???
