I'd like to see Bruno check into more games next year than this one, especially if the d-league team isn't ready.
Speaking of which, the d-league team better be ready. Or else we wasted half of Bruno and Bebe's rookie contracts.
What I take from that is he'll be in the d league a lot next year and when he gets called up, he'll get a few spot minutes here and there.I'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

I hope the D-League team is up and running just for Bruno's sake. He's still so raw, I'd be fine with him playing there for 90% of next season with a couple call ups.
Edit: in leagues/sports with proper farm teams, one thing that franchises who successfully develop their own talent do is show patience. Take your time with your young guys, get them good minutes and good coaching in the farm system, and only bring them up when they're ready and when there's a suitable role to fit them into. One thing teams that suck at developing their own talent do consistently is bring guys up too soon with way too many expectations. When the prospect doesn't perform well enough fast enough, everybody turns on him and the cycle starts over with the next prospect.Last edited by S.R.; Mon Jun 1, 2015, 10:37 AM."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Whether the D-League team is in place or not, I'd love to see Bruno get some meaningful minutes. Actually playing in a game that isn't a blowout would do wonders for his development, imo.
Unfortunately, (as most of you have said) I don't see Casey giving him any minutes. I also think a lot of it depends on what direction Masai takes the team in. If he continues with this core, and just adds a few pieces, Bruno is never going to get any sort of meaningful minutes. But if Masai makes some trades (KL, DD) and starts of sort of retool/rebuild, I could see (hope mostly) that Bruno would actually become the 9th or 10th man.

The reason I wouldn't want to see it is that it would just be Bruno ISOs. That and he's just not going to be able to contribute yet. This year was pretty much a wash for him,"My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

Actually I'd like to see him get steady minutes more than meaningful minutes. I think it's good for him to know he will be playing and be ready as opposed to not knowing when he will be in or what situation. For that reason I want him in D-League as much as possible so he gets comfortable, quicker.
