There are plenty of guys with length who don't play quality defense, and guys like VanVleet use strength and anticipation/BBIQ to guard guys a lot bigger than them. Besides, Caruso is the same height as DJJ (6' 5"). He may not have the wingspan, but he is not just limited to defending guards. As good as DJJ has been defensively, I think Caruso would actually be an upgrade.
Would he, though, at his age and with his recent injury concerns?
