LeBron addressed the benefit of such a lineup. He explained:"It's always good to know that you can go down the stretch and go to AD at the five and me kinda like that point forward and then surround us with guards and shooters, defenders even if need be. ... Having KCP [Kentavious Caldwell-Pope] out there with AC [Alex Caruso] and Dennis [Schroder] just gave us a lot of dimension both offensively and defensively."LeBron James particularly showered praise on Alex Caruso who came up clutch against the Philadelphia 76ers down the stretch."AC is whatever we need. He’s a Swiss Army knife, to be honest. ... He can do it all, he just helps our ballclub in so many ways," LeBron said.LA Lakers take on the Detroit Pistons in their next game.Also read: LA Lakers 106-107 Philadelphia 76ers: 5 hits and flops as Joel Embiid outduels LeBron James with MVP-like performance
