Alex Caruso needs to be a dog on defense. That’s what the Oklahoma City Thunder pay him to do. If he hits a few threes and throws down a few dunks, it’s a bonus. What they need from him is lockdown defense against the best players in the league. But they don’t really need him to do it until the playoffs begin.
