Caruso Alex

Alex Caruso of the Oklahoma City Thunder has been a steady contributor in his first ten games of the 2026-27 season, averaging 7.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 17.7 minutes, the fifth-most playing time on the roster. His shooting is efficient, hitting 52% from the floor and an impressive 45% from beyond the arc, though his recent five-game stretch has dipped slightly to a 50% field-goal rate and 6.6 points per game. Caruso's form score of 9.2 on a 0-to-10 scale indicates he is performing well above his usual level over the past year. He logged a modest 0 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 13 minutes in a win over Washington on 7 November, and a 5-point, 6-rebound, 2-assist outing in 20 minutes against Memphis on 6 November. The Thunder will travel to face the Portland Trail Blazers on 11 November.
