Chicago Bulls point guard Alex Caruso has made a name for himself with his exceptional defensive skills. The NBA's new seven-year collective bargaining agreement includes a minimum requirement of 65 games played for players to be eligible for year-end awards, including All-Defensive team selection. Although the new requirement doesn't go into effect until next season, Caruso has played in 64 games so far this season. Even if Caruso plays in every remaining game, he would barely make the minimum 65 games played. According to Caruso, the new minimum is a good thing as it rewards players who competed through injuries, but being named to the All-Defensive team is not essential for him to prove he is one of the best defenders in the game. Caruso's peers believe he is one of the toughest assignments out there, according to a Bleacher Nation article. Caruso says it would be "cool" to be on the All-Defensive team, but his goal is to play his part in his team winning games.
