whats crazy is i've never seen him as confident in an nba game, as his first ever appearance against the bucks. he has such a smooth stroke and yet he seems to get so rattled that he bricks everything. there's no hope of him ever being a kevin durant ever, but his skillset should allow him to at least be a serviceable role player. like i said, if he can just start hitting those open 3s at a decent clip, he has a job in the league. i just think he has confidence issues.

also, he's averaging a decent amount of blocks in the g league and based on all the highlights, he has pretty good shotlblocking timing and instincts and his length definitely helps him out in that regard. i'm not saying he's a great defender, but timing is not something you can teach necessarily and he knows when to time his jump to get those blocks. so he still has potential as a 2 way player, i think he just needs a little more seasoning. he's still only 23, so he still has role player potential. again, i think a lot of it just comes down to his mentality, i feel like he doesn't have the right work ethic/humbleness and he just needs to mature a bit more as well as not get so rattled.

or he's an inconsistent shooter, regardless of confidence, which is possible.

This is what frustrates me about Bruno. He really isn't that far off, yet the minute he steps on an NBA court he is.

Probably just experience . He needs to come up and play even if he makes a few mistakes , that is why I hope Casey is gone next year . Stack would probably be a lot better coach for him and we need to promote him soon or loose him .

sorry cause Bruno is not playing in the NBA this is why u want him gone ? lol tell me your not serious

he's shooting 34% on 7 attempts in the gleague. those are not great numbers, but he can shoot a bit. my observation was strictly based on his nba performances compared to his g league ones. he's airballed a few, bricked a few hard off the side, they're not conducive to his overall shooting ability imo and his demeanour comes across as someone that is rattled. for example, kyle lowry is a good 3 point shooter. but in the playoffs he has sucked like a scrub. does that mean that he's now just an inconsistent shooter? no, because in the regular season he consistently puts up good percentages. it's just that in the playoffs, he gets rattled and because of this he sucks. all the shots he would normally make, he misses.

You must hate the man cause the raptors are one of the most prepared and organized teams in the league. But as long as you hate the man you can’t see the results.

What's the longest tenure of any player in the D,G-league? Can you have a long career there?

If he came into the draft at this age and with his current skill set would he be picked?
