In some ways, no player epitomizes the Masai Ujiri experience like Bruno Caboclo. His entire presence symbolizes Masai’s belief in growth and development, and there’s a sense that the franchise persists with trying to turn him into a functional player because the Toronto Raptors ultimately believe that continuity is an asset.
But four years into his career, much of Bruno’s appeal remains shrouded in hypotheticals and loaded descriptors like “potential.” It’s hard to have a nuanced conversation about Bruno because there isn’t much to tangibly grasp onto when evaluating his viability as an NBA player.
Spending most of the last year with the Raptors 905, Bruno tallied 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in 27 minutes per game, with shooting splits of 41-33-65.
