Bruno Correa Fernandes Caboclo #50 of Brazil National Team drives against Yi Jianlian #11 of China National Team during 2019 Sion BRAZIL Men's International Basketball Challenge at Wuhan Sports Center on August 25, 2019 in Wuhan, China.
MEMPHIS – Essentially at the ‘now-or-never’ stage of his fledgling NBA career, forward Bruno Caboclo simply doesn’t back down from many challenges.
So, it’s totally understandable that he’s embracing the daunting task that comes with his role as the versatile, defensive specialist on Brazil’s national team. That effectively puts Caboclo on a collision course to face arguably the best current player in the world when Brazil takes on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece next week at the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
