Alex Caruso: “I feel I’m pretty unselfish”

The Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso provided insight into his preferred playing position during a detailed discussion with K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.

“The power forward one is not my favorite,” Caruso, who had starting roles at both point guard and power forward at different times last year, conveyed to Johnson. “It took a toll on me the second half. It was rough. That’s one of the added benefits I think I bring to a team. I feel I’m pretty unselfish.”

Caruso addressed the possibility that he may not start games with the club this year.

“I’ve talked to (head coach) Billy (Donovan) and some of the assistants about being more selfish at times,” Caruso said. “It’s almost putting a burden on the team when I’m not selfish at times, when I pass up shots or pass up opportunities to be aggressive or to speak up. So this starting stuff is what it is. I’d rather play late in the game than early in the game. When it counts, I want to be on the court.”
