Because they felt they've been able to show him enough to work on and that he's made enough progress with it in individuals that they would now like to assess his progress on the floor.

Probably will send them down one at a time for a better chance they will get minutes .

He'll be back soon anyway, from what masai's been saying he wants bruno to stay+travel with the raps for the most part, and occasionally send him to the dleague to get some work in.

2 week stint we figure? I would be surprised if he stayed down there all of January.

It kind of sucks because he will probably only be there for a week , which is not long enough to even get comfortable so I will be surprised if he even does anything .

Needs to learn to pick and choose his spots. Also could use some time to figure out when and where to help on defence. He's extremely active at times, but he overhelps in bad positions.

In the limited minutes he's played so far, it seems he thinks the best time to shoot is whenever the ball touches his hands. That won't fly in the DLeague.

You would want to put up a shot too if those minutes were the only minutes you'd think you get all season. He's trigger happy but i dont think he's a selfish player by nature, he just wants to prove himself and is over doing it.

All the more reason to put him on the bus to Northern Indiana. He can learn to actually play some minutes alongside a dozen other guys who are desperate to prove it. Then he can spend a few nights eating dinner alone at the IHop and getting beat up on the court by some 37 year old earning $50k/year in front of 300 people. It may just bring everything into focus.

Don't worry guys in 4 years he'll be back in the nba when he's ready.

Those 37 year olds can be ruthless.

This is awesome! Gonna go watch him Sunday.

Beginning of the end. Greek freak started 23 games last year. Bruno barely plays garbage minutes and when he plays he looks totally lost. Has there ever been a guy like him stashed away on a team like this who became a great or even good player. Amir was younger than Bruno when Detroit took him but he played some(on a good team).

This is one shot in the dark that aint working out.

Amir played 3 games the first season and 8 games second season.
He saw lots of time in the d league.
Third year became a valuable reserve.

Bruno may or may not turn out well.
To soon to say whether the shot hit or missed.

Not sure he will even many minutes a game in the D League.

I think you're overreacting.

6 months after he was labeled as being 4 years away from ready...

I prefer to look at it like an undergraduate degree timeline; if in 4 years we don't have a rotation player then I'll call it a bust.

Bruno will be able to play on the same team as Myck Kabongo for a while. Same Kabongo that a number of posters wanted to draft in 2013.

It should be real easy for Bebe to get a lot of minutes when he goes down .
