Alex Caruso could find an expanded role with the Charlotte Hornets

With the potential losses at guard for the Charlotte Hornets, Alex Caruso, currently with the Los Angeles Lakers, could gain an expanded role in a back-court that would lack depth.

Caruso has a shooting and driving ability that molds perfectly to what the NBA calls for today.

Playing with the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis can carry a chip on your shoulder if you were to move on to another team.

With a young roster, the Hornets front office should be eyeing veteran talent that can help show what it takes to be successful in the NBA. As a key part of the Lakers championship roster last season, Caruso knows what it takes to win.
