Alex Caruso has 27 career playoff games under his belt, a Finals appearance with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2019-20 season, and one huge diamond-laced championship ring.
The guard has kissed the Larry O’Brien Trophy, been mentored by a guy named LeBron, and if he could bring a snack to the arena it would likely be carried in a dented lunch pail.
So the last thing Caruso needs is a hype man.
Yet, he had one on Friday.
“He brings a winning mentality to the team first and foremost as a champion, and he also brings that toughness, that grit, and he’s going to do all the little things,’’ new Bulls guard Lonzo Ball said of what Caruso will also bring to the roster.
