Everything Bruno Caboclo

10 min assessment of Bruno Caboclos: crazy long, can shoot, dribble and if he was born in USA he'd be a huge prospect

— Doug Smith: Raptors (@SmithRaps) June 28, 2014

My cheap instant (physical) comparison for Caboclo is Nick Batum. Very long arms, huge hands and as a bonus solid shooting fundamentals.

My 2 min assessment: if Caboclo is a bust it won't be because he doesn't have the tools to be an NBA player. Impressive.

It was gone but my hype for the raptors is officially back.

Bruno found out he was drafted via twitter while in a taxi in New York City Thursday night.

Oh, and he has Caboclo on his jersey, not Bruno. I know many people were hoping for that.


Man, summer league can't come soon enough!

He's gonna wear #5, personally I though we're gonna retire Austin Daye's old number

[ceez]

there's really no need for a nickname for Bruno when you can just call him Bruno but @netwerk suggested Groot and i'm kinda digging that too

Maybe not 7'7", but Masai said Bruno's wingspan over 7'6"

some footage. Shoots FT after throwing some dunks. No running start on them.

Anyone got his press conference video is it up yet? Thanks

[Puffer]

He seemed to be one of the few guys who knew about him and even he thought he would be a late second round pick...

Damn. Even the Spurs fans are clued in to the international players. Imagine how effective the front office is!

[saints91]

I would be all for him starting the season just him playing limited minutes in home games and just keep him training most of the year in Toronto. Send him down to D-LEAGUE for a couple spurts but just keep a group of staff with him to work with him. Hire a great shooting coach, dribbling coach, a coach for footwork and positioning and then a personal trainer. Bring him along slowly and build those mad skills. By the end of the year, maybe all-star break let him go with the team full time. Basketball 24x7! This kid has the possibility of being great. The only problem is the he will be separated from the rest of the team for a while. I think the Raptors could really start something different in the way they develop talent in the NBA.

I think the media is going to like this kid. He's just a big smile. He's been supporting his family for a few years apparently. Barbosa is a mentor figure for him.
