Four years ago ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla infamously declared that Bruno Caboclo was “two years away from being two years” as the Toronto Raptors selected the relatively unknown Brazilian with the No. 20 pick in the NBA draft.

Those two years, plus two more years, have come and gone but Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey apparently hasn’t forgotten Franschilla’s quip, implying on Instagram that Caboclo has finally arrived.

Morey’s social media snark carries at least a modicum of sincerity: he signed Caboclo to an Exhibit 10 contract last month.

For the Rockets the move carries virtually no risk, but has potential for some surprise upside. Specifically, the Exhibit 10 contract will give Houston the option to keep Caboclo within their system either as a two-way player or a full time member of the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Caboclo will be entitled to a $50K bonus if he sticks with the Vipers for 60 days once the season starts. That sum will not be included on their cap sheet.

If Caboclo does catch on the Rockets will inherit a 6-9 forward with a nearly 8-0 wingspan, who is athletic enough to switch at will. Houston arguably lacks perimeter defense after losing Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute this summer. If Caboclo really has arrived, as Morey is betting, he could ease some burden in spot minutes as a backup big man.

For the player once dubbed “The Brazilian Kevin Durant” this opportunity may be his last chance to catch on in the NBA. In four seasons Caboclo has appeared in only 35 games for the Raptors and Sacramento Kings but has been assigned to the G League a staggering 63 times.
