Alex Caruso: “I don’t feel like I’m this guy that plays for the Lakers”

In a recent interview with Leo Sepkowitz of Bleacher Report, the Los Angeles Lakers point guard Alex Caruso, who signed to a two-year, $5.5 million deal this offseason, explained why he thinks he is one of the most popular player among Lakers fans:

“I think it’s the way I play – every game I go out there and play as hard as I can, and I think people appreciate that. Then it’s the fact I look like I could be a common person walking on the street. They all want to hold onto like, ‘Hey, that’s one of us out there doing it,’ which is funny because I feel like I’m a normal person. I walk around and I don’t feel like I’m 6’5″, I don’t feel like I’m this guy that plays for the Lakers. But it’s the reality of it,” Caruso said.

This past season, the 25-year-old cult icon averaged 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
