Not fully. The defensive feet / in-opponents-chest style is similar. Offensively, completely different. Defensively, Caruso is more athletic and a touch taller/longer, but the perimeter defensive style is comparable.

I admit I haven't seen a ton of Caruso, but if he's even half the defender Kirk was then he'll be a huge addition.


Good to know… because he’s Twice

Yeah... we are talking 9.25 mil a year for Caruso, which in today's NBA really isn't all that much.

In Alex Caruso news, he apparently landed in Chicago today, because See Red Fred of twitter fame and co-host of one of my podcasts randomly ran into him at O'Hare on the way back from his family vacation.
