Alex Caruso

[George Gervin]

Been 116 games since Caruso's last SW up to a 79, and I think he needs a slight bump here. The stats in that sample size:

Traditional Stats:

• Shooting 45/37/79 over that 116 game stretch with 53% of his FGA attempts coming from 3PT range and 59% TS 
• 7.1 PPG/3.3 RPG/3.2 APG/1.3 SPG/0.7 BPG over that stretch in 25.2 MPG

Advanced Stats:

• 2.56 DBPM over that 116 game stretch
• +2.6 Defensive EPM this year (good for 97th percentile and behind only Suggs, SGA, NAW, and Smart amongst guards)
• 98th percentile for TOV % generation (meaning number of possessions ending in a steal or turnover forced) across the last three years
• Sported a +6.1 differential in that stretch with an average of 15 wins generated for the Bulls based on his efficiency and impact on the court (puts him in the 91st percentile in that run League-wide) 
• Offensively he's pretty low maintenance at just a 13.3 USG rate

I'm going to go for an 81 with emphasis needed on the DAware, Steal, and 3PT for Caruso.

This falls into the bucket I like to call out from time to time: Just b/c a player has improved over a certain period of time, does not mean they need an increase.

It's always possible the current rating was inflated to begin with.

I'm going 79, Rework.
