Bruno Caboclo

Houston Rockets (NBA) waived 25-year old Brazilian ex-international small forward Bruno Caboclo (206cm). In 6 NBA games he recorded just 2.8ppg and 2.3rpg this season.
The last season Caboclo played at Hustle where in two NBA-G-League games he averaged 11.5ppg, 5.0rpg, 3.0apg, 1.5spg and 3.0bpg. He also played for the Grizzlies. In 22 NBA games he had only 2.8ppg and 2.0rpg. Caboclo helped them to win the Southwest Division title. The other team he played that season for were the Grizzlies. In 22 NBA games he got only 2.8ppg and 2.0rpg.
In 2014 Caboclo was drafted by Toronto Raptors in first round (20th overall). He was a member of Brazilian Senior National Team between 2017 and 2019.
Caboclo has played also professionally in other NBA teams (Sacramento Kings), Brazil (Pinheiros) and NBA G League (Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Stockton Kings and Raptors 905 Missisauga).
His game is described as: Has an immense talent that makes to seem easy anything he does on the court. Not so tall, but he can grow up till 6-9 and has yet a 7-7 wingspan. Has natural shooting ability, even from behind the 3pts arch and is very good in penetrating inside to slash. Can become a superstar player if he will improve defense and concentration. Hes yet compared to Kevin Durant by some scouts, and they are not exaggerating… For sure the most promising Brazilian player nowadays.
