The league s top 3D gate! Should the Thunder let him enter the starting lineup in the life and death battle of G7?

In the previous NBA playoff Western Conference semi-finals G6, the Denver Nuggets, who played at home, defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-107. After this game, the Nuggets also stubbornly tied the total score of this round of series to 3-3. Next, both sides need to compete for another spot in the Western Conference Finals through a brutal tiebreak battle.

Although the Thunder lost the game, Alec Caruso's performance was actually quite good. Caruso played 27 minutes and 20 seconds in the game, made 4 of 9 shots and 2 of 5 shots outside the three-point line, and scored 10 points, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. There were 1 turnover and 5 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Caruso also maintained a relatively stable feel and got some points on the offensive end with limited shots, and he also showed certain passing ability and organizational ability. Caruso is also extremely strong on the defensive end, which puts huge pressure on the opponent and has done a good job. Caruso's performance in this game is already outstanding enough, and he also played his role well. Unfortunately, some players in the team performed too poorly, and Caruso's efforts were unable to receive rewards.

In the NBA regular season this season, Caruso played 54 games in 82 games, averaging 19.3 minutes per game, averaging 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 82.4%. In the playoffs, Caruso averaged 22.2 minutes in the first 10 games, with averaging 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 43.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 42.2%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%.

Caruso has performed very well in the playoffs, and he has also shown his characteristics and strength on both offense and defense. His performance in the first round of the playoffs was quite reliable. In this round of the series, although the opponent's strength has been further improved, Caruso still maintained an extremely high level. It is no exaggeration to say that Caruso's performance in the playoffs is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the top 3D players in the league. He is also the player with the strongest defensive ability in the Thunder team. In the next G7, which really determines life and death, perhaps the Thunder should also go all out and let Caruso enter the starting lineup directly. Caruso's performance is obvious to all. When you cannot make mistakes, the Thunder should really provide more playing time for the best players.
