Lakers two-way contract player Alex Caruso is showing he belongs in the NBA

The Los Angeles Lakers have a point guard problem, and unfortunately for them, it’s not a new issue.

They took a big step towards fixing that problem in 2017, when they drafted Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 overall pick, but Ball struggled to stay healthy during his rookie season, playing just 47 games.

Then, last summer, the Lakers signed Rajon Rondo to a one-year, $9 million deal with the hope that he could backup Ball, but he, too, has dealt nagging injuries this season and, as a result, he and Ball have shared the court just 14 times this season.
