I think he could step in right away as a 3 and D player. He has a good shot and quick feet. He would be a better match up against taller SF than Ross.

So Bruno will be similar to a younger Rashard Lewis, but with higher defensive potential? That would make him an all-star candidate, so I'd be happy with that.

I don't like the Rashard Lewis comparison at all. From the games I have watched Rashard play in, it seems like Rashard doesn't use his length at all. IMO, Rashard plays ways smaller relative to his size with a grouned game, and Caboclo will probably be taught to use this length and athleticism to his advantage, offensively and defensively.

If all Casey is going for is that Caboclo is tall that can shoot, might as well compare him to McBob as well.
#Raptors are 7-1. In 6 of the past 10 seasons, a team that has started a season 7-1 has gone on to win an NBA championship.

I've heard the McGrady comparison but I think Shawn Bradley is more accurate

I will be upset if he's just another Rashard Lewis, I think as former defensive coach of Dallas, Casey may see similiar physical resemblances of Shawn Marion, if Bruno round out his complete skillset and be used that way a-la Matrix, he will be that guy to lock down players w/ his long length, attack the weakside glass, shoot open corner 3s spot ups, score on backdoor cuts and develop his AND1s running hooks, that's the Marion role and game I see Bruno will mold into under Casey system.

I initially hated the pick, but Im starting to to see why Ujiri was so high on him.

No offence, but really? You'd be upset if Bruno ended up as just another Rashard Lewis who averaged roughly 18 pts, 6 rebs, 2 asts, 1 stl, 0.7 blk, with >45% fg%, almost 40% 3fg% from 2001-2009?

If Bruno comes anywhere close to those #'s we hit the jackpot IMO

Someone was offended by homophobia, yes. And if you can't discuss basketball without calling anyone/anything "gay" then I don't know what to say.
