    Give him all of the back up mins. I think he'd be eaten alive if he were to start.

    I'd give him Ennis' minutes. He's shown me a lot out there.

    We've had one knowledgeable opinion that Ennis's handles are a lot better. Anyone else feel strongly one way or the other? It's not like I've noticed either one of these guys looking like they're over their heads in that regard yet. And if it's with the subs then even less of an issue. Caruso taller, quicker, better passer and (better ?) and more aggressive shooter, better D and runs the offense much more closely to the way Lonzo has. The teammates still seem to get the ball in the right places. Proof with his performance and the SL team hanging tough and pulling away in the clutch with him the primary PG in the SL championship game, and the higher numbers of assists so far in pre-season than Ennis. It's as big a margin as Triple G beating Canelo in that fight. Save for the whack scorecards. Everywhere it counts for the team to look more dynamic on offense and defense Caruso seems to me to have the edge. Better athlete as well (?)

    During summer league, Caruso had issues with pressure. He didn't face a lot of defensive pressure during preseason, but the regular season is another animal.

    Good experience for a guy like Caruso. If he can become a consistent shooter he can be a 7-10 minute guy one day.

    Do you want to continue to watch Clarkson dribble it in the corner or do you want to see what ball movement looks like off the bench?
