The aura of being "two years away from being two years away" may have hurt Caboclo's standing in the video game world. His rating of 64 puts him right at the bottom of the barrel. :coleman:

I think the "he's 2 years away from 2 years away" shot down his expectations. I say good! Let the haters eat crow when he surprises everyone.

The video evidence doesn't even suggest he's that raw:

It's only experience, added strength, and understanding of a role he needs right now in the NBA. That off course will come with time (2 years away line), but I'm still sticking to the fact that he will be very similar to Nicolas Batum if he pans out. Batum was the 25th pick in 08 draft and it took him his 5th season to become a 3 and D player that can also facilitate the ball very well (last 2 seasons has averaged 5 apg). Not to mention, is very efficient as a scorer as well.
In his rookie year, I don't think he'll get so much playing time with such a deep roster at the wings, but I do think he can still workout with the team and condition himself well. Hoping the Raps can get that deal done with D-League team in Rochester, so at least Bruno can go down there and get some minutes against some up and coming talent.
Aaron Gray is smiling somewhere...

Judging from the Pros & Cons in the video, he's basically Jamario Moon

Footage wise, he's not the leaper Moon was and I think Bruno likes to shoot the 3 and make it effective. I always cringed when Moon took a 3.
