Everything Bruno Caboclo

Glad it seems like the Kings are going to give him a shot. If he's going to figure out how to be a roleplayer he's going to need some NBA minutes at some point.

Keep us posted

Is it possible to just FORGET John Lennon, Tupac Shakur? Is it possible to pretend Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley never existed?

Sure, anythings possible.


Whoops...

Interesting. When I think of a Bruno comp, Kevin Garnett is the first player that comes to my mind also.

Dear 6six, I just want to thank the @raptors organization, my teammates, coaches and fans for drafting me as a young kid, welcoming me and helping me grow. Toronto and its great people will always be in my heart. I have nothing but love and respect for you guys! The journey and the work continue for me!

This is a deal that materialized only because both Masai and Vlade were bored on deadline day.

Pretty cool really, getting a prospect in return for Bruno who most assumed had zero trade value.

I wonder where Bruno will end up after this season. I think going to Europe and playing in one of the Euroleague teams might be good for his confidence as its a slower pace game and if his shot stops being so streaky he might come back to the NBA in 2-3 years.

But when you trade someone with no trade value, for someone with no trade value, does a tree fall in the woods?

I think someone will take a flier on him in the NBA. A lot less intriguing players have hung around.

Best thing for Bruno would be to go to Europe for 2-3 years and play under one of those hard-ass coaches, who doesn't give a f*** about his feelings.... just results. If he survives that, then he can come back to the NBA like PJ Tucker and have a decent career.

Guy has the physical assets to be a good player. In professional sports just being a good athlete is enough to get by. A lot of Bruno's problems are mental.. and I know Masai has said it more than once. His biggest regret was not having a real D League team already before bringing Bruno in. He wasn't ready for anything and the professional atmosphere probably made things worse.

They said he was hungry to learn and get better. I hope that's still true for his sake. I do see him having a career like Whiteside. Kind thrown around and picked up by different summer league programs, and then finally finding a niche in Miami where he becomes one of the better centers in the league. Maybe not to that extreme, but I see him having an NBA career eventually.

Again, I beg, can we PLEASE just delete this thread and pretend it didnt happen. Honestly. The kid is horrible.

We can never forget about Masai's home run swing that ended up being a triple play. NEVER.

I would suggest it was a home run swing that ended up being a fly out to 2nd base, in the middle of the 3rd inning.

In other words, a fairly inconsequential play in the grand scheme of current Raptors success.

And frankly, with the way he leveraged that pick and the development hype that came along with it into the D-League team... more like a sac fly.
