The Thunder have a three-headed monster on defense: ‘Bro, we're so nice'
OKLAHOMA CITY — Luguentz Dort, the Oklahoma City Thunder's perimeter stopper built more like a middle linebacker, went from undrafted to $68.4 million in career earnings (and counting) in large part because of his ability to navigate screens, reattach to his assignment and annoy star scorers for the bulk of any given night. Advertisement But even he doesn't mind the occasional respite from the bruising. Eighteen hours after defending both Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle in a Game 1 conference finals win, 24 hours away from being honored as an All-Defensive first teamer, Dort is seated in an adjacent room at the Thunder's practice facility. In a conversation with The Athletic, Dort is asked about playing in lineups with Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace. He smiles. 'Sometimes it's nice to switch,' Dort admits. NBA titles aren't won without star talent populating the top of the roster. The Thunder have it. But 68-win teams aren't built without layers of depth and a firm identity. The Thunder also have it. They are a ferocious, turnover-hungry bunch engulfing the league on the defensive end. That starts at the point of attack, where Oklahoma City has developed, drafted and traded for the three-headed monster of Dort, Wallace and Caruso — three of the league's best on-ball bulldogs who go about their business differently but torment opponents together over 48 relentless minutes. 'It's endless,' Caruso said. 'An endless wave.' Dort is tied with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the longest-tenured member of the roster. He initially signed as a two-way contract player in the summer of 2019, working with then-assistant Mark Daigneault as a developmental project. Dort first impressed nationally during the 2020 bubble playoffs, defending James Harden in a first-round series against the Houston Rockets. As Daigneault likes to note, Dort once averaged 17.2 points per game in a regular season. But as Daigneault and the Thunder have formed into the league's best team, Dort has pared down his game and mastered his defensive skill: becoming one of the league's best stoppers. 'When I first got here, I was a guy who just had great feet and had a lot of energy,' Dort said. 'I was just going over every screen. I didn't know the player I was going against. I was just playing hard as s—. Now I watch a lot of film. I know everyone I'm going against. I've gone against them a bunch.' Advertisement Dort's more polished and he's developed more tricks, deployed selectively in certain matchups. Caruso was asked his favorite type of Dort play. He had a tough time identifying a singular possession, saying there are two to three per game that wow him. He finally picked a sequence from Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 'The other night,' Caruso said. 'He was guarding Ant the whole game, getting over screens, getting under, getting reattached. And then he had a post-up against Julius where he's super physical. Then he reads Julius. He is about to be another bump and just pulls the chair and gets out of the way and steals the ball. Like, Lu has a defensive bag. You know, people talk about offensive bags all the time. He's got one on defense.' Here is the specific possession. Caruso is on Edwards in this lineup configuration, so Dort is on Randle. He slides in front on Randle's lefty drive to his strong side and turns him into a post-up 26 feet from the rim. He absorbs another bump and then subtly 'pulls the chair' as Randle readies for the next clash of contact. It leads to a stumble, a steal and an advantageous fast break — the lifeblood of the Thunder's attack. Dort is the unchallenged starter. Since joining the Thunder, he has started 354 of 363 career games, including all 150 he's appeared in the last two seasons. He is always given the initial and primary assignment. Caruso is the hired ace off the bench. They flipped Josh Giddey for him this past summer in the belief that he was one of the final pieces on a growing juggernaut. That has proved correct. Caruso has appeared in 70 games with the Thunder (playoffs and regular season) and come off the bench in 67 of them. Advertisement This is Caruso's eighth season. He had a similar career path to his new teammate. Dort and Caruso are one of only eight undrafted players all-time to earn postseason defensive award honors. It took time for both of them to break into the league and master their craft. Caruso's journey is more winding. He opened his professional career as a member of the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder's G League team, coached by Daigneault in 2016-17, coinciding with Caruso's time. Caruso eventually broke through with the Los Angeles Lakers, won a title as a rotational weapon and earned his first real payday with the Chicago Bulls. The Thunder targeted him and used Chicago's fondness for Giddey to beat out other trade suitors — such as the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors — for Caruso's services. Oklahoma City gave him a four-year, $81 million extension for the work he does on the court, but also the expertise he provides on the sideline and within the team concept. 'When we watch film as a team, out of nowhere he'll just spring his own thoughts,' Dort said of Caruso. 'It'll be about the player or a team scheme. He'll mention a couple things. He's done that so many times this season. Then whenever we play that team, what he said is on-point.' Iron sharpens iron. Dort and Caruso like to discuss the nuances and tricks of defending certain scorers and how best to attack certain types of actions. 'The dude is just f—ing smart, bro,' Dort said. 'He knows a lot of players, what they want to do, what they like doing. Knowing who's screening you is huge. There are good screeners. There are bad screeners. Whenever we know that somebody is a good screener, we just talk about it and see what we can do to navigate the screen.' Dort mentioned a Caruso play from Game 1 of that conference finals win. Randle entered as one of the hottest players in the playoffs, having torched the Warriors. The Thunder shut him down. Here is Caruso pressing him out to half court, making him uncomfortable, avoiding a Rudy Gobert screen and then purposefully stepping in front for the type of charge that'll make Randle second-guess his bully-ball operation. There's a commonality between Dort and Caruso that leads to a great level of mutual respect. They've built careers in ways scouts never predicted. But that's also what impresses both so much about Wallace. When you're undrafted, it's pretty simple to accept a role-playing, specified identity when it is the lone path to professional success. The door is slammed shut otherwise. Advertisement Wallace is a lottery pick. He was the point guard at Kentucky. He has a level of scoring and creation ability within him that would be used more often in other situations. At 21 as a high-level prospect, it can be difficult to accept a minimized, specialized NBA identity. 'That's just one of his natural gifts, I think,' Caruso said. 'He didn't come to the NBA needing to learn how to guard. I know the high school he went to in Dallas. They guarded. They played good basketball and they had pride about what they were doing. It wasn't just like show up and shoot a bunch of shots.' Wallace averaged 19.9 points and 6.1 assists as the Gatorade Texas High School Basketball Player of the Year at Richardson High. He was the star. But Caruso, also from Texas, knows the high school scene and the type of players developed in certain environments. Daigneault said general manager Sam Presti had Wallace 'pegged' right in the pre-draft process, believing he had the mindset to contribute to winning immediately with upside to scale up long term. Daigneault was sold in his first preseason. 'Being a guard and the guy your whole life and then coming in and having to be a role player, you have to change your mindset,' Wallace told The Athletic. 'But once you come in every day and you see everybody buys into their role, you find out that being a role player isn't bad. You can be a high-level player, but as long as you do your job, then that's what it takes to win.' He has examples in his immediate vicinity. Dort and Caruso have built lucrative, appreciated careers in that mold. Dort said the two have had conversations about that path. Wallace has taken notice. 'Everybody can't be the man,' Wallace said. 'Whatever it takes to win is the mindset we all have. That winning mindset gets you paid.' Advertisement Caruso and Dort both mentioned Wallace's hands and quickness as what separates him. They are both awed by the way he can swipe the dribble of some of the league's best ballhandlers. Caruso also mentioned his ability to block shots at the guard position. 'He blocked more jump shots this year than I've seen in the NBA in my career,' Caruso said. 'This is my eighth year. He has a weird, unique ability to block jump shots. He has really strong hands.' Here are two examples from this past regular season. Wallace blocks a Jaylen Brown midranger and a Luka Dončić stepback 3 in isolation. Not many humans on Earth have that on their highlight reel. When discussing the strengths of the Thunder's historic defense with coaches around the league, they often mention their team-wide ability to close out swiftly without allowing a blow-by. It erases open 3s without giving up gaping drives. Wallace is the premium example of that. He can show help and recover quickly. Here he is in the first round of these playoffs getting back to block a Scotty Pippen Jr. attempted 3 and then — in March against the Indiana Pacers team he will see this week — recovering in time to tip a Pascal Siakam 3. Dort said there have been times this season he has watched film and wondered how the heck an opposing coaching staff game-plans against the Thunder, considering their lack of a true weak link to attack, Jalen Williams' versatility on the wing, the rim protection from Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein behind the play and the three-headed on-ball presence. 'Bro, we're so nice,' Dort said of the defense. Their next and final test to reach their first NBA title is a Pacers team that is fast-paced, deep and democratic in the way it shares the ball. It'll be a difficult challenge. But the Pacers will also be preparing for a Dort, Wallace, Caruso trio that they haven't seen anything like in their own conference. Advertisement 'We're similar in that we all take pride in it and can keep our man outside of the paint,' Wallace said. 'But it's different as far as how we go about doing it. Lu is more like physical and solid. Doesn't gamble as much. AC is more like handsy. He will beat you to the spot. Then I'm more pick you up, test your handle and try to speed you up. Teams always have to constantly change how they're playing. 'You can't score on us all the same way. You might not post Lu up. You might try to post me up. Or you might not bring the ball up the court on me. But you might want to bring it up on somebody else. Throwing different looks throws off their game.' Is defense impossible to play today's spread-out NBA? Not to the Thunder. They've found the secret to putting the clamps on their opponents.

Bears Prized Free Agent Grady Jarrett Gets Hall-of-Famer's Old Number
Bears Prized Free Agent Grady Jarrett Gets Hall-of-Famer's Old Number originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Bears don't normally allow players to wear the uniform numbers that were made iconic by the superstars from the organization's illustrious history. Retired numbers often do they heavy lifting when it comes to gating most iconic jerseys, but there are a few that aren't retired, so the Bears have to determine when they will allow the number to be used. Bears fans, the newly signed Grady Jarrett just got one of the most iconic jersey numbers in history. Getty Images Jarrett, who is expected to play a pivotal role on the Bears' interior defensive line and in the locker room as a leader, will be wearing Mike Singletary's No. 50 jersey during his first season in Chicago. Advertisement That's not just a number. No. 50 is synonymous with one of the greatest linebackers to ever suit up for the Bears—or any NFL team, for that matter. Singletary's legacy lives in the middle of Soldier Field, even if his number was never officially retired. And now, a two-time Pro Bowler in Jarrett will have the honor of carrying it forward. Jarrett has long been respected not just for his production, but for his presence. The former Falcons standout brings an edge to Chicago's revamped defense, and being handed No. 50 suggests the organization sees him as more than just a contributor—they see him as a leader. Before hardcore Singletary fans get upset, it's important to note that the 7-time All-Pro and HOFer has said he would prefer his number stay in circulation. So, it's not as if the Bears are disrespecting him. They're actually honoring his wishes. Advertisement This distinction also opens up a broader conversation about how teams honor their legends. Jarrett may be the face of a quiet shift in how iconic numbers are treated moving forward. I'd like to see every NFL number back in circulation for every team. Some organizations have a serious number shortage because of retired numbers and it prevents players from wearing a number that matters to them. Bears rookie Luther Burden II would love to wear No. 3, but the Bears retired it to honor Bronko Nagurski who last played in 1943. I think players should be inducted into an organization's ring of honor rather than having their numbers retired. The only numbers that should be retired in any sport are 42 in baseball, which is in place; 24 and 8 in the NBA for Kobe Bryant, 23 for Michael Jordan, 6 for LeBron James and 99 in the NHL for Wayne Gretzky. Advertisement Those numbers should be retired across the entire league, not just specific organizations to honor the otherworldly impact of those players on the league. All that said, I can't wait to watch Jarrett hopefully do the No. 50 justice in 2025.
