[SB Nation] Bruno Caboclo Is Finally Ready For The NBA

If Bruno is playing for us this year. Some major injury has happened or we are down 50.

 

Or his knee is 100% and he kicked ass during what is essentially another preseason before the playoffs.

Glass is either half full or half empty depending on your perception.

 

lol do you know who coaches this team? 1-2 guys off the bench. Pretty sure Bruno won’t make the cut.

 

I'm looking forward to finding out who is right.

 

I would like to see Covington take Bruno under his wing.

 

I want to believe...

 

Like Kobe took Sasha under his wing.

 

I completely forgot this guy was on the team, lol.

 

He won't be for long.

I don't think Mike will play him, and no way he comes back here next year for peanuts and zero playing time.

I really do wish we would give him a super long look with the starters. Let's see what the kid can do and give him one of those 4-year mega cheap deals.

 

He has all the tools to be a rotational player. Wish we would put some effort into developing him. Especially on the cheap...

 

Restart benefits Bruno the most.

“He’s going to be a problem. He’s a veteran as far as his mentality. He works extremely hard, and when his name is called.....he is always ready to go.” — James Harden on Bruno Caboclo in February.

I really hope we resign him for next year, I think he’ll be a good bench player for us with small ball switching

a bench of rivers/b-mac(assuming Gordon starts)/house/green/caboclo And Clemons/Carroll or sef...is about the best I think we’ll be able to do and at least green and Bruno can pretend to guard centers

 

He’s our future starting 5.

 

I don’t see him getting ready minutes this season.

 

I see him backing up Green in all seriousness.

Russ/Rivers/McLemore
Harden/EGo
RoCo/House
PJ/Demarre/Thabo
Green/Bruno/Tyson

9th or 10th man depending on matchup or injury. See him ahead of Demarre IMO.

And House is liability as starter or finishing close games in 4th quarter. He is best vs. opponents bench.

 

I think it's telling they cut Hartenstein. They at least see him as a better prospect. I do too, he's worth the 1 in 100 chance he pans out. If he can defend and hit 3's, he is worth $15m+ easy. Drives past big men with ease too. He did seem to have turned a corner in Memphis.

 

Possibly, I just don’t see him cracking MDA’s rotation given how late he showed up and how short MDA likes his bench.

 

That is fair and reasonable but looking forward to seeing if that expanded 9 man rotation is not just real but includes a young and long high upside guy like Bruno.

 

Honestly, I see Chandler getting limited burn before him. He’s ancient but he’s a vet. I think MDA would trust that more.

 

Not during the 8 game restart to regular season.

Tyson is already a known commodity, likely sees time in postseason, maybe.
