Maybe NeNe can unlock something in him or create a bond that makes him feel comfortable. He could be the next Leandro Barbosa I guess
Serge Ibaka like comparison, when watching the Highlights. I am impressed with his rim protection and lateral defense. I hope it works out for the Rockets.
Sometimes people just need a chance. Getting stuck on the bench because of a house hold name can discourage a kid. I would really like to see this kid when he is motivated. I would say he could probably see playing time in our system. I would definitely like Kevin Durant to shoot over this chair
Capela - 6'10", 240 lbs, 7'5" wingspan Caboclo - 6'9", 218 lbs, 7"7" wingspan Playing wing hasn't worked for him. Put 20 lbs of muscle on Caboclo and give him a shot at Capela's backup. Another rim runner that plays defense and can switch.
Morey is doing this deal just so he can say that he's doing something when he is really not doing anything. Morey needs to DO SOMETHING for real fast!
when Murray turns around and lets this guy go in two weeks, it will become known as the . . . wait for it . . . CABOCLO DEBACLE!!
This is classic low risk/high reward play by DM. Kid should have probably been a 2nd rounder and played in Brazil a few more years to develop his game and mature. He didn't, so do we have John Lucas' next project/prodigy? Would love to see him working in our in G-League system and see what we can do with him. I like this signing a lot, more because it shows we're still looking for diamonds in the rough to develop some more youth on our team.
He is the biggest underachiever in the league. He was the 20th pick in the same draft as Capela who went at 25. Toronto tried to develop him, but he failed to do anything of real note. The Kings gave up on him too.
I hope Deng Adel will also get an invitation to the G-League and training camp. He also can be a diamond in the rough.
