They are trying to manufacture an NBA player out of arms and shooting stroke.
Lots of work to do.

Bruno doesn't get enough talk around here. At a certain other site there seem to be a lot of doubters that he can play the 3. What do you think? He obviously shoots like a 3, and I think his defensive stance is closer to where it needs to be on the perimeter than given credit for, plus his ability to recover.
My POV is that he fits with the trend of positionless basketball. 'Shard Lewis is still a good comparison and he played lots of the 3 earlier in his career. Would love to see him worked into the rotation next to JJ.

Bruno certainly can't play the 4, and it may take him a half decade to put on enough weight to do so. So, yeah, he's a 3.

I think he's an evolution of swingman - 3/4.

Let's also not forget that Bruno doesn't turn 20 until tomorrow.
Paul George has never played at PF before. Again what is your point.
If an opposing team rolls out 4 guards then I think Bruno can play the "4". I just do think he is going to be able to guard Millsap, Aldridge, or Love types. They will destroy him inside.

The point is that you don't have to be an oldskool () power forward to play the position, now more than ever. You didn't say he wouldn't be a great defender at the 4-spot, you said he can't play the position. The example of Novak, a weak old white guy, shows that many outside the narrow preconception of what the position is supposed can, in fact, play the position. It's the position that is most succumbing to small-ball.
Kirilenko played the 4, Prince, and many, many more stringbeans did the same, with varying degrees of success - the key is usually either great shooting or very good defense. Hopefully with Bruno we get both, in time.
