The saga of Bruno Caboclo in Toronto ended with his departure from the organization on NBA Trade Deadline day, February 8. He was traded for Malachi Richardson, another player who hasn’t yet lit up the night skies with his on-court brilliance.
I say “saga” but it wasn’t, of course. The most exciting moment of this disappointing tale was at the beginning, a clear indicator that something is out of alignment.
To summarize quickly: Bruno was the epitome of an obscure player when his name was called (mangled, actually) by Commissioner Adam Silver as the choice at #20 of the Toronto Raptors in the 2014 NBA Draft.
