5 Guards to Watch for Philadelphia 76ers in Summer League

Alex Caruso

Alex Caruso is yet another four-year student, and is more of a pass-happy guard than some of the others. Caruso was a role player for the Texas A&M team all four years of his attendance, as he averaged 8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists during his time there.

He shot 45 percent from the field and 34 percent from the 3-point zone, and in general, we saw his field goal and 3-point percentages increase over his four years at A&M. Caruso’s freshman year closed off with 26.5 percent 3-point shooting, and his senior year finished with him shooting 36.8 percent from beyond the arc. He improved it in every year that he played.

For Caruso’s size, he’s really explosive. In the fast break, Caruso can often beat his opponents in a foot race and then get up for a huge dunk to finish.

A&M saw a lot of of those fast breaks come off of steals, as Caruso was often one step ahead of the opposing team’s offense. He was able to easily jump ahead of passes and knock the ball loose, averaging 2.0 steals per game over the course of his career.

Caruso is a long shot to make the team since he doesn’t contribute a ton offensively, but if he can show that his 3-point shot really has improved over the years, the team may consider bringing him on.
