A biography for Alex Carusohasn’t been written yet.
“I watch a lot of old basketball highlights and basketball games.”
“For me, coming from being undrafted and going through the G League, the fact that I just had fans that were excited to give me a name or celebrate some success? I was all for it.”
“We have to have a different mindset going on the road, especially when shots aren't going in. You've got to know what you're in for. You've got to be ready for things not to go your way and respond.”
“I'm a pretty simple guy.”
“My game is evolving, my basketball bag, whatever they say, my repertoire of playing defense, pushing the ball on offense, being a good teammate; all that stuff I'm always continuing to work on, trying to get better.”
“Obviously there's going to be a little bit of a learning curve for every new team.”
“I seem to be able to raise my game. I can't always do that if I'm the best player on the court. Luckily, I'm not going to be the best player on the court probably for the rest of my life.”
“Every time I get a matchup with a guy, it just adds to the amount of reps I have guarding him and the amount of times I've seen them do their moves, get to their comfort spots, kind of see what they like to do. It's me adding stuff to the memory bank and what I know and how I can guard them better.”
“I'm trying to just be a student of the game. Continue to work, continue to get better because that's what got me into the league and that's what keeps you around.”
“In my opinion, this is why I play basketball, for these games late in the year when details and discipline matter and the will to compete at a high level for 48 minutes.”
“I'm going to try and keep getting better and better and better and part of that is being aggressive to score and a lot of times that will set up my pass and good opportunities for my teammates.”
“As you get older, you get to realize what's most important.”
“I think everything for me has just been about opportunity and just being myself.”
“I believe in myself.”
“Honestly, I don't think too much when I shoot. I just kind of get it and just natural body motion taking over.”
“Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in.”
“My level of skill is average. I'm not making some bomb Italian dish or anything, but I can make food that tastes good and is edible.”
“I'm playing to win, so the ball comes to me, I'm going to be ready to go.”
“We have a lot of privilege and a lot of responsibility to hold ourselves to a high standard and help people that are in need. That's just the way I was raised, and I think that's something really cool that I'm able to do now.”
“Transition is one of the hardest times for defenses to pick up on guys and to match up and play through their principles defensively.”
