Our boy Bruno with two big times plays to close out the game for Brazil...

A sign of thing to come or one last flash in the pan? Honestly I think this is Bruno's year... His four years of development going to pay off for the Grizz

I think he is going to be a solid 3 and D guy. Maybe elite in that respect. He has the potential.

Give him a ring.

Next KD? More like next Giannis.

He looked really solid for Memphis the second half of the season.

Still think age not withstanding Chris Brunocher is the better package of skills. He was basically a waiver wire level claim.

eh Bruno seems to be the better overall player right now - way more consistent. Raw skills - both are pretty good but needs consistency for sure.

I think Bruno should be a target for the Raptors this offseason. He's a winner. I watched a lot of his G-league games and he consistently makes clutch plays in winning time.

Giannis with a shot.

Physically, Bruno is more robust than Boucher, and is doing it at a younger age. Boucher is 26 - he's be 27 in January. Bruno is 23, will turn 24 in September. If I had to bet who is the more likely player to achieve rotation status on a decent team, it's still Bruno.

Anyone remember when Casey called him a Rashard Lewis? Looking more and more accurate.

We should've played him as a 4/5 rather then a 3/4.

He's gonna be good. We just didn't have enough time to wait for him and he needed a change of scenery to grow as a player.

Would love to get Bruno back. Memphis has like 18 guys under contract. Bruno is the only one who isn't guaranteed completely. They will be buying out and trading guys for sure.

As far as the block on Giannis, great play but that is 99% on the in-bounder. Bruno shouldn't have had a play at all on that. Guy hesitated and blew the timing completely.

OT but :It is amazing how overhyped the Nets are because they signed Durant and Irving. People acting like Durant is definitely going to come back at least 80% plus of how he was before. Then you have Irving's personality, plus now Chandler tests positive for PEDs and Kurucs get charged with domestic assault. Lucky for them they are in the east or I could really see them missing the playoffs.

Bring him home.

The thing with Bruno is that if he gets hot from 3, he's capable of putting up a few high-scoring games if given the minutes. With Memphis now in that true retooling/rebuilding stage focusing around JV and others, I see Bruno having a solid season as a pseudo-3rd option. I think Memphis should be an exciting team to watch this season and I'm cheering them on.

The Nets suck...and Sean Marks is incredibly overrated.

People give him the benefit of the doubt because he took over the Nets when they were completely rock bottom, with no lotto picks.

He had full autonomy and an unlimited budget to absorb bad contracts, and put together a team of decent but middling talent. Jarret, Caris, and Dinwiddie are solid players but none will ever be starting on any sort of a contender. Decent role players, but severely overrated (just because they were drafted late).

He traded for D'Angelo Russell, who they didn't want to commit to long term anyway... and they traded a late pick for him that turned out to be Kuzma (who is more valuable now).

They made the playoffs, only because the East is five-deep and this team had zero potential for being anything other than first round fodder for years to come.

Main reason for their contender status is that Kyrie was a Nets fan growing up.

That's it.

Sean's moves were neither bad nor good. Just kinda expected, and they had unlimited funds and autonomy to do it.

can you imagine having Bruno for the 76ers series and having to make the call if Bruno or Kawhi should have taken that last shot?
