The two counterbalance each other perfectly. There’s a reason I’ve been ranting and raving for months about the potential pairing of him and D’Angelo Russell. He’s certainly still guilty of gravitating towards this trait too much, but that passing gene is in there somewhere deep. His primary instinct, when given the ball, is to force his way to the rim-especially in the halfcourt. One last thing: Caris has shown signs of becoming an above-average passer (he had six assists against Milwaukee). (Versus settling for off-balance floaters-a crime he committed on numerous occasions directly after returning from injury).
He’s honed in that part of his game while snaking his way to the basket like the Caris of old. Instead, Caris is calmly launching high-arching, well-paced bombs from deep.Īlso, in case you forgot, the guy is immaculate when it comes to putting his head down and drawing contact. He’s no longer catapulting the ball towards the rim with his wrists. Perhaps he worked on his shot during the time off, but the hitch in his follow-through appears to have dissipated a bit. All other options, cap holds, exceptions are assumed as declined, waived or renounced.It could be an overreaction, but Caris’ shooting stroke seems a bit smoother lately. This is calculated by determining all guaranteed salaries + any dead cap from non-guaranteed salaries.
