    Caboclo was great in this preseason opener, loved his defense and aggressiveness.

    And the 3 to boot.

    Probably going down to RGV to sharpen his skills and shot but I really liked what I saw from him.

    Easily better than Zhou, Hartenstein, and Nene.

    Forget any wing duties, just trot him out at backup C behind Clint.

    Him and Chriss both look like they should be out there at the backup 5. I think we keep him and Clark for sure. They both look like they belong with the big boys although I wouldn't mind them getting some experience in RGV.

    I'm surprised at his defense to be honest, especially on the perimeter, his long ass arms really bothers people on drives

    Kid is promising. I rather give him a shot over Zhu and Issac as his upside is a lot higher

    I wonder if this guy has some Whiteside-like turnaround potential without the poor attitude. I wonder whether it's his work ethic that had stalled his development? Doesn't seem to be a clear answer except that he didn't improve much since drafted.

    At 7'7 wingspan, with big bro Nene around, Harden/Paul/shooters on the floor at all times and an incredible coaching staff... we are certainly going to find out.

    He just needs more seasoning with elite players. Nene speaking portugese with him will help so much. Really hope no other team tries to sign him away from us. Need to make a spot for this kid.

    He only made 2 shots, it's in all the highlights videos. Doubt someone makes a specific highlight video for his 2 shots.

    It's a reference to Nene's manly performance two years ago against OKC.

    Flashes of what we lost in Harrell. Energy/aggression, length, and versatile defender.
    Bruno can make free throws though. There is hope.

    This is where I am at with him.... trade Capela—> Capela’s value is never going to get higher. (3 way deal that lands us Butler) we use his cap space to retain other players. Play the center spot by community giving us different looks as needed. I like ALL the bigs I saw last night and they will ALL will be on next to nothing contracts —> assets.

    The perfect storm is here for Bruno —> let it rain.
