We are always treated to a plethora of surprises in the NBA Draft, and we got just that in the first round when the Toronto Raptors selected Bruno Caboclo out of Brazil. Not many folks saw the pick coming, and afterward, there was a lot of confusion as to who the Raptors had just drafted, spurning a slew of other talented stars still available.


As you can clearly see, no one around the internet had any idea who this young man is. Generally, we know everything on the internet–but not tonight with the Raptors’ selection. As a matter of fact, most couldn’t even spell his name correctly, which is why I used these specific examples.

Luckily, there are draft experts out there that are supposed to know all about these players, no matter how obscure, and with that, here’s a look at the scouting report video via the folks at Draft Express.

Hopefully, especially if you’re a Raptors fan, that clears some of the confusion up.
