Rockets sign Bruno Caboclo

Posted: August 20, 2018 -- 3:32 pm.

Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey announced today that the team has signed free agent forward Bruno Caboclo (cuh-BO-clo).

Caboclo (6'9", 218) was originally the 20th overall pick by Toronto in the 2014 NBA Draft.  He spent his first three and a half seasons with the Raptors prior to being traded to Sacramento this past February.

Last season, the 22-year-old appeared in a total of 36 G League games while on assignment with Raptors 905 and the Reno Bighorns, averaging 14.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks.  Caboclo also averaged 2.4 3-pointers made.

Reportedly, the deal is an Exhibit 10 deal which means Bruno's bonus (up to $50,000) won't count against the salary cap if he's waived.
