Very exciting to see what he looks like in summer league. Also nice that the media is apparently able to watch his team workout tomorrow.

Does this signal to anyone else that Lowry probably won't be resigning? We went super-young as opposed to win-now, which to me implies there will be more young moves being made and less win-now moves being made. It's rare that we see a team do both at the same time.
Does this signal that they think Lowry is coming back? I think it has to, especially when combined with the Heat drafting Napier. The only team that probably still makes sense is Dallas, and it sounds like they'll be busy courting Carmelo, etc., Is it a guarantee? No, but the likelihood has to be increasing.

Hahahaha I love the progression of posts on here, it was like a 5 steps of acceptance thing.
1) WHO???
2) WTF, here we go again! Masia = BC
3) Maybe it's part of a deal to get Ennis....and we still have the 2nd round picks
4) Well, I guess this is it.......
5) This Brazilian kid is really good....lots of GMs wanted him....he's gonna be better than Andrew Wiggins!

There is going to be pressure on this kid unfortunately despite him being selected at 20. 20th picks don't pan out most of the time.. but because he was not an any 'experts' radar, I think people will be ready to watch this guy fail. If Bruno is a bust than everyone will say - told ya so! MU you are an idiot! You could have gotten a rotational piece!
If Bruno is a success (and that's a big if considering nobody knows anything about him) than egg on everyone's face, but I think people will live with that (look at what JV did). People love tearing down things they don't understand.. for some reason that's human nature.
From Bruno's perspective.. good for him. Grew up poor.. only played game for a few years and is already in the NBA at only 18 years of age. That's a pretty cool story.
And this kid is still going to be growing.. Imagine that 6'9 length turning into 6'11 or 7'0? Or his wing span goes from 7'7 to 7'9? The fact that he can shoot is insane too. We might not have a KD but we could have drafted a gem here.
I'm happy about the pick.. still upset we didn't get a PG though. Free agency is going to be a nail biter. Still think Lowry is 60/40 a Raptor. Not confident with that ratio.

I was using Lavine as an example, but if this Caboclo kid is that elite athelete that I'm hearing then I support this pick. No point going with another mediocre talent this late in the draft.
I'm excited to see if he turns out to be something special or if this is anothe Alabi situation. Not so much the latter.
