9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I think people have to realize that there is extra incentive to bringing him along slowly at this late stage - training him to play as a roleplayer even at the D-league level - and that's to re-sign him for a song, if you retain him at all. He's experiencing winning basketball with the Raps and the 905, and I have to believe that will pay off in the end.
Every time I see him on the court I'm almost freaked out by his physical tools. The mental side is a work in progress, and that's where time and patience come into play.

Not that he'd spend 4 years bumbling, struggling to learn defense and ball handling at the D League level, then magically appear in year 5 NBA ready. Wishful thinking on that one

I think we have to continue to make the game as simple as possible for him. Once he gets really good at his role, he can eventually start trying other things out.

In one of the recent RR weekly pods (may have been weekly extra) they were saying his defensive decision making and overall use of his length on the defensive end has improved and still settles for the 3 a little too much. The consensus between Blake and Vivek was that after his 4th year he should be near the equivalent of a rookie coming out of the NCAA, and should be able to provide SOMETHING on a consistent basis, and then evaluate his progress as such from there on out.

Bruno highlights from Dec/16. So this is approximately 1.5yrs on 905. I like his block on Alex pothyress. 4yr senior from Kentucky.
I've been following the draft this yr and I think Bruno is comparable at 21yrs old. 6'9 stretch 4 with 7'6 wingspan sounds good.

Here's the rest of his highlights this yr.
