What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Will he or won’t he? The Bulls schedule is about to get busy again the next few weeks, so what does that mean for Zach LaVine’s knee-management schedule? Plus, some Alex Caruso stuff. All in one click.

More on this storyline
DeMar DeRozan paused briefly before answering the question, not so much because he didn’t know what to say but more because he wanted to say it just right.D “Spectacular,” DeRozan finally said. The question — what’s it like having Alex Caruso as a teammate? — also got posed to Zach LaVine. “It’s a privilege,” LaVine said. -via NBC Sports / December 8, 2022
If you want to fully assess the impact of Caruso, don’t check a box score or even talk to him since Caruso is, in DeRozan’s words, “so humble, so about the team.” Just ask his teammates and coaches. “He’s such a selfless guy,” Billy Donovan said. -via NBC Sports / December 8, 2022
Caruso is averaging 2.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.7 steals and just one turnover over 30 minutes in the three games since he replaced Ayo Dosunmu as the Chicago Bulls’ starting point guard. But those numbers fail to fully capture Caruso’s full impact. Whether it’s playing tenacious defense on a wide variety of positions or — like one of his mentors in Rajon Rondo — calling out opposing plays and delegating defensive duties on the fly, Caruso is about winning. -via NBC Sports / December 8, 2022
