The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded for Alex Caruso reuniting him with Mark Daigneault - which Sam Presti calls exciting.
The Oklahoma City Thunder made a surprising swap on Thursday to send former No. 6 overall pick Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls in favor of defensive ace Alex Caruso. The Texas A&M product returns to the start of his professional career with Caruso being a former training camp and OKC Blue member for the organization.
Two of the brightest success stories from the NBA's developmental league, now reunited again at the varsity level with Caruso being a tailormade player for Daigneault's system as a versatile defender who can knock down catch-and-shoot looks and play with or without the ball. The Thunder bench boss was involved in this decision - while Presti doesn't bother the coach of the year with every rumor, Oklahoma City checked in with the head man before pulling the trigger on bringing back a former player.
