NBA star Draymond Green makes bold claim about Oklahoma City Thunder's Alex Caruso over NBA Finals

NBA star Draymond Green believes Oklahoma City Thunder’s guard Alex Caruso is the team’s third most important player, as he’s not only experienced, but he’s also smart and his defence is pretty good, especially in the NBA Finals, with his power packed performance. Even though Caruso hasn’t been able to score top points, he’s well aware of how to ensure a win for the team.In the latest episode of podcast The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis, Draymond Green explained the two teams — Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers’ solid strategy, that led the former's win against the latter in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. He said: "When I look at this OKC team, I actually think the third-most-important player is Alex Caruso. I think Caruso is so important to what they do and I feel like you never game plan for him, So because you don't have a game plan for him, he comes into these Finals and he goes crazy. But the reality is, he's a champion, so he actually knows what to expect."He explains, "If I'm an opposing coach, I'm saying 'Caruso's been in this moment, he's shown us over and over again he can deliver in this moment, I'm going to make him so important to our game plan, I'm going to make less of an importance in our game plan to the guy who hasn't done it.”He added, "Place that bet on the guy that hasn't done it, and Chet hasn't done it. I know Caruso can beat me, he's shown he can beat me at several different points. Back then when he won a championship he showed you he can beat you. So I'm just not sure that would be the bet that I would be making."Green said, in the podcast, "He's so important to everything they do, Defensively, he's so important to everything they do. Offensively, he can be another guy that can handle the ball, that's smart, that makes decisions, that's going to shoot the right shots, not take the wrong shots."Also Read: Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green Weighs In On Controversial Cooper Flagg Narrative With Dallas MavericksNBA star and Golden State Warriors’ brilliant face Draymond Green believes Alex Caruso knows the game, and the fact that he’s able to showcase his skillset, in ensuring the team has a strategic advantage over everybody else, proves he’s at his best.
