And then offensively
I know that he's not the flashy name of AJ Mitchell, uh, who is of course someone that has to continue his rise to NBA fame.
But you you look at what he does to knock down threes for a team that is consistently a low-volume three-point shooting team, and the loss of Lou Dort, who didn't shoot the ball well last postseason or last season in general, but he's a guy who'd at least shoot it.
He's a guy who's at least confident in launching it.
A lot of these other names are the
Thunder roster, uh you you don't feel confident that they're just going to launch it if they have the space to shoot besides Caruso.
And then his short role playmaking, uh the connectiveness of his game to allow this Thunder offense to breathe easier and to set them up better in high-leverage spots, I think is so important to where if you didn't have Caruso uh for whatever reason, whether it be injury or if you just had a slightly worse version.

So just take a step back.
Can you quicken your jump shot to where you can shoot over smaller closeouts?
Can you be someone who's just an absolute play finisher?
And that's partly his responsibility.
And partly, you know, last year, not to make excuses for what he performed, because it was just unacceptable, regardless of who was out there.
He's a guy that the whole season, whenever he was having an all-star year and he was having an all-NB
campaign whenever he was so pivotal in in rounds one and two uh that that you looked at how he was having success and it was due to being set up he was the ultimate play finisher for OKCs to the point that even in the regular season against teams not named San Antonio when this team hit their massive injury window where they didn't have any playmakers and he also was not playing well but but he was still playing people kept getting frustrated with him then and we kept saying Andrew that like
