124 million in 4 years! He is an upgraded version of Caruso, and the Lakers can use Reeves to quote
10:30pm, 5 August 2025【Basketball】
Season 24-25, Caruso's real plus-minus defense value is 3.9. If it weren't for the insufficient number of appearances caused by 54 appearances, it would be able to beat the Clippers Dunn (3.4) to the top of the league. How good is
Caruso's defense?
For this, let's look at a set of data:
1. When facing Leonard, his shooting rate is limited by 20%;
2. When facing Morant, his shooting rate is limited by 27.3%;
3. When facing Zubac, his shooting rate is limited by 44.4%;
4. When facing Lillard, his shooting rate is limited by 20%.
In short, can you have multiple locations and be efficient. In fact, among the 21 players who have made at least five playoffs against defense against each other in the playoffs, only Siakam, Naz Reed and Randall have shot more than 50%. In other words, Caruso made an indelible contribution to the Thunder’s championship history at least.
However, Caruso on the offensive end is very ordinary.
First, 170 of the total 314 shots came from outside the three-point line, with a shooting rate of 35.3%. Just compare the shooting rate:
1, 41.6% of the top Beasley;
2, 38.8% of the second-top Halliburton;
3, 37% of the All-Star Hield.
Obviously, Caruso's three-point level is only the level of a role player. Considering that three-point shooting accounts for 51.4%, the offense driven is also the level of a role player. In terms of data, when Caruso was on the court, the Thunder scored 117.5 points in 100 rounds, and when the team was not on the court, the team scored 119.8 points in 100 rounds. The difference of -2.3 shows that when Caruso is not on the court, the Thunder's offensive firepower is even stronger.
At the same time, according to the Boston Global Times, the Celtics are willing to trade Derek White because of the "second tyrant line".
For White, I think it is a Caruso upgrade.
First, defense. So far, White's defense has a real positive and negative value of 0.9. What's even more rare is that the values of each season are positive, both the Spurs and the Celtics. The second team of the year was selected for the best defensive team of the year twice.
Special performance:
1, limiting his shooting rate when facing Brunson;
2, limiting his shooting rate when facing Mitchell;
3, limiting his shooting rate when facing Trae Young 33.3%.
Obviously, White and Caruso are not very different on the defensive end.
Second, offensive. In the 24-25 season alone, White's three-point shooting accounted for 72.1% of the shooting rate was 38.4%. For shooting rate, as mentioned earlier, you can reach the sub-top level. As for the total 265 three-pointers, the league is second only to Edwards, Beasley and Curry.
Obviously, White on the offensive end mainly ended with three-pointers and had top-notch efficiency.
In summary, the upgraded version mainly reflects the offensive end. I mean, the efficiency of the two players on the defensive end is not much different. The offensive end was mainly ended with three-pointers, and White's efficiency was far better than Caruso.
Considering that the Celtics are willing to trade White, I think the Lakers can use Reeves to quote. And relatively speaking, there is a possibility.
Description point: Contract. White still has four years and 124 million contracts, while Reeves theoretically has one year and 14 million. Considering that the purpose of the Celtic transaction is to save money, Reeves is still attractive to the former. If attractive, there is a possibility of potential.
Finally, I think the Lakers will not lose money by reves for White. After all, the latter is the top "3D" that will definitely help the team more than Reeves.
