Everything Bruno Caboclo

[Quirk]

Is he, Kyle Anderson was my pick back then, but haven't followed him.

He will be. Anderson is like 2 years older, this is his last year of his contract and he averaged like 3 points and 3 rebounds? Im not setting bar high for Bruno lool

[Nilanka]

LOL

This dude is a clown man. The guy is a fucking garbage time player in the NBA, hasn't accomplished shit in his 3 years here. Hasn't improved one bit. And now he's acting like a DIVA in international competition? are u kidding me? who the fuck do you think you are?

If you're Kobe or LeBron sure. Those guys should be given some leeway. They're all time greats. You're BRUNO CABOCLO lol. You're a SHITTY basketball player. You're showing up you're coaches and you're teammates. You can't do that. You can't act like that. It's not a good look.

Brazil did a GREAT job of removing him from their team.

Somewhere, Sam Dalembert is pouring out a little liquor....

[The Great One]

Don't get me started about Dalembert.

From a pretty big newspaper in Brazil http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/esporte...sciplina.shtml and translated using google translate. Seems like Bruno has had these type of issues before which is kind of disappointing he hasn't learned.

[Mess]

Google Translate comes up with some beautiful, nonsense phrases.

But that's definitely not good. I wonder if now that the lid is off Pandora's Box if we'll get the Toronto media coming out with stories and recollections that they suddenly remember being aware of all along.

[MixxAOR]

well fuck that's disheartening. Masai fucked up on this one. I guess I fucked up too lmao he is not going to be a NBA player

I guess I hit the nail on the head when I said Ryan Leaf.... that guy was all emotions & it seems Bruno might be the same. I hope they get Stackhouse to talk some shit into the kid ASAP.

It's been vaguely reported this week that Bruno clashed with Stackhouse this year in the D-Leauge, often getting upset or pouty about his playing time there too.

This is so DISRESPECTFUL to Ryan Leaf. Leaf was an ELITE prospect. He was a GREAT college player. Great college career.

Bruno came out of NOWHERE and was somehow picked in the 1st round. He was no elite prospect. No one has ever heard of him before. Masai drafted him only because of his physique(6'11, long arms) which is beyond idiotic.

First time I ever saw him play it was like watching a 5 year old kid play basketball for the first time(i'm not exaggerating). Things has not changed. He hasn't gotten any better. And now we know he has attitude problems? diva-ish? get this fucker out of my team.

[Scraptor]

Wow. If true, that is some serious headcase baggage. What a mess.

[Jclaw]

Yeah....I remember when I was a 19 year old and got selected for a job in a far away country. I didn't know a word of the new language. I was fawned over by my new home and had tens of thousands of people chant my name. Then I got shipped to a small town. And the best was, everything I did was watched by rabid fans. I had a bad day at work once and cried. It became a news story that followed me to this day. Of course I never behaved unprofessionally after that. See where this is going? If you have been through college, think of what you would have been like if all those moments were filmed. Give the guy a chance to make mistakes. Even repeat ones. Then see what he can be before you write him off.

[consmap]

This looks reaalllyy bad. If he uses this experience to turn things around then there's a sliver of hope. At the same time maybe he and everyone else learns that this just isn't for him and we can all just move on.

I'll say this, it must be difficult to go from being a complete unknown to where he is now, with the fanbase putting him under a microscope. For me it looks like he came into all of this unaware of how much mental fortitude it takes to make this work.

Exactly. People are quick to write him off because he gets upset about not playing enough.

It could be so much worse. Imagine Bruno thought he was playing too much?

The kid is passionate. That article was written to help the Brazilian Basketball Confederation save face.

This incident is not breaking news, and it does not change his potential trajectory.

He will most likely adapt and mature from this.

[c-troop]

And if you write him off now, and start singing his praises in 2 years, you're faker than a 4 dollar bill.
