You have to bring Bruno over this year, I know Fran was saying he's 2 years away from being 2 years away, but he's not going to get better playing in Brazil and realistically you're not going to stash a first round pick in Europe either.

So basically the plan was to take Ennis at 20 and Bruno at 37. Once Ennis was gone they just took Bruno at 20.
EDIT:
Ennis is the epitome of
I know he's a local kid, but still. Need to bring the Brazilian over as soon as possible.
Some more.
I hope this works out.

Just would have been nice to have some insurance at PG if Lowry leave I guess. Now it is looking like a Vasques de colo PG situation if lowry leaves.
I honestly no nothing about this Bruno kid. Seems to have a lot of potential, so who knows. But like you say we really need to get up here, and start working him him.

Why the fukk hasn't Bachynski or Khem Birch been drafted yet, the NBA is a stupid, racist, xenophobic, immature league.
Raps might still be able to get Jahlil tho, I would enjoy that

I hope Bruno is good, but the very few clips out there show him -- a 6-foot-9 NBA prospect with an unreal wingspan -- dominating guys who will likely never even sniff the NBA. Got a long way to go in evaluating him. Interested to hear Masai's take.
Eh, there's PGs on the market and honestly if you lose Lowry go after Bledsoe.
@I.V. brought Bruno up last week and we were talking about him likely being a Spurs type of pick, bunch of videos were posted on him. They absolutely have to bring him over, get him with NBA strength and conditioning and make his development a priority. You need to find out what you have as soon as possible, buying him out now is pretty much mandatory, the Brazilian leagues simply aren't good enough for him to develop further.
Eh, the same thing happened with Giannis last year, dude was playing against what looked like Greek high schoolers, dude looked like a giant.

Yeah. Even if it means you take him from that team, and stick him with another team... you take him out of Brazil right now. They've done everything they can with him. Brazil has a couple of prospects (felicio/mariano) but Caboclo is the one with the best basketball feel. He most like an NBA player.
But you have to get him in the gym, see where his game actually is... and then get him on a diet/strength/conditioning plan. Like, yesterday. If this was the Spurs of OKC, I'd say "Put him on a decent Euro roster, let him develop" But for you guys, I don't know what the Raps relationships are out there, and honestly... why not develop him now? Toronto is a wonderful city, international, he should feel comfortable.
Send @Malta out there as special envoy to Brazil talent... You'd be set.
20 is fukking high. fukking really really high for a kid like this. But it's obvious Masai discovered he wasn't making it out of the first round. So he pulled the trigger.
Masai just said Bruno will be in Toronto tomorrow, and be in summer league this year.
wouldnt mind the raptors going after birch or bhullar
