Caruso is more defensively versatile because of his size and athleticism while being the better 3 point shooter and proven champion.

TJ and its not even close for me. I've seen numerous big games from TJ while i can't say the same for Caruso. Caruso gets overrated for being a bald white guy on big market teams lol.

TJ is the far better playmaker, Caruso is a better 3pt shooter by default and has more size & athleticism. Both are high IQ players with strong intangibles.

TJ definitely has some edges on Caruso, he's a better scorer/playmaker. He's better at getting a tough bucket. As a traditional backup point guard, TJ fits the bill better.
Caruso is bigger and a much more versatile defender. Considering the role both Caruso and TJ play, I think Caruso is much more valuable and impactful.

Caruso for sure, and I like TJ McConnell plenty as a solid NBA rotation player.
The impact stats really like Caruso as one of the best two-way role players in the NBA. 3-year luck-adjusted RAPM has him 18th in the NBA. 5-year has him 36th. Just a really high impact player that's on a great contract for the Bulls.

If TJ was as tall as Caruso, he would be considered better.

Why are the dudes backing TJ here using arguments around Caruso's appearance? Seems weird.

Caruso easily for me. Impact on defense is great. Can shoot the three as well and well above TJ as an athlete.
Yeah TJ is a decent playmaker.

Being a young guy on a big market team always helps guys getting overrated. The appearance part is just the cherry on top of lol.
