Bruno Caboclo Working Out with Former NBA Champs


He used to be "two years away from being two years away." That was actually 10 years ago now, believe it or not, so by that measure, Bruno Caboclo should have been established as an NBA player six years ago. 

But that hasn't happened. He actually spent bit parts of seven different seasons in the NBA with four different teams, but hasn't suited up in the best league in the world in nearly four years. 

But now, Caboclo has been granted a workout with the Golden State Warriors, who, having once had the real Kevin Durant on their roster, are now having a look at the formerly known "KD of Brazil."

Caboclo has played a total of 105 games in the NBA, averaging 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per game. 

The Brazilian big man also has an offer from Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv in Israel on the table, but a return to the NBA with the Warriors would be his ultimate goal. 

The 6'9" forward opened some eyes at the recent Olympics tournament this summer in France, leading the Brazilian national team with 17.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 60.5% on field goals and 54.5% from three-point range in four games.

Since his last appearance in the NBA, Caboclo has played in the G League, Brazil, and Serbia.
