AUGUST 20: The Rockets have officially signed Caboclo, the team announced today in a press release.
AUGUST 17: The Rockets have reached an agreement with free agent forward Bruno Caboclo, Chris Haynes of ESPN tweets.
Caboclo became an unrestricted free agent when the Kings declined to extend a qualifying offer in late June. The 6’9” Caboclo was acquired by Sacramento in February in a trade with the Raptors.
Caboclo received an Exhibit 10 contract, RealGM tweets, giving him a chance to make the roster in training camp. He could eventually fill a two-way contract slot, since the Rockets waived guard R.J. Hunter on Friday.
Caboclo, still just 22, never developed as Toronto hoped when it made him the 20th overall pick in the 2014 draft. He’s appeared in just 35 games in his four NBA seasons, averaging 1.5 PPG in 6.1 MPG. He saw action in 10 games with Sacramento, averaging 2.2 PPG in 10 MPG.
Wasn’t he supposed to be the next Giannis? Lol. Trash
But he was 4 years from being 4 years away. Haha
Saw him in Vegas at IMPACT right after he was drafted and they said he was the next KD. He’d be hoisting up 30 footers in 2-on-2 and 3-on-3. U could tell he wouldn’t be Jonathan Bender, let alone Kevin Durant. Still…. only 22 years old tho. Good Luck!
Dude is a complete bum and has a terrible attitude to boot. He had every chance in the world to get better via four years of NBA coaching and as many minutes and shots in the G league as he could handle. Still trash.
This dude is like 2 years away from being 2 more years away.
I think that’s what they said when he got drafted no joke
Saw him play a Raptors 905 G League game. Best player on the floor that night, has a bright future as a G League All-Star and G League legend. NBA though? Nope.
