Caruso isn't a devastating shooter, but he's not on the "ignore him" level Giddey was in this year's 2nd round. And, he's better on offense in every way that doesn't include passing. Better at creating shots for himself, better putting pressure on the rim in transition, as a cutter, etc. Obviously, the defensive angle everyone mentions is a huge plus. Top that off with the old "this dude is a veteran winner who has won at this level" reasoning, which is more than valid in this case, and it's a stand-up triple, especially considering the fact (still can't believe it) that no draft capital changed hands.
