The saga is finally over: Bruno Caboclo leaves Partizan Belgrade less than a year after joining the Serbian side and moves to Hapoel Tel Aviv, being only the last piece of the powerful puzzle coached by Georgios Dedas.
In his first-ever EuroLeague season, which started after a controversy with Reyer Venezia, the 28-year-old center put up 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, shooting 50.0% beyond the three-point arc.
Coming back to the BKT EuroCup, he already played in such competition with ratiopharm Ulm two years ago, averaging dominant numbers: 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game.
The Brazilian center has been the complete focus of attention for his national team this summer, first helping his country qualify for Paris 2024 and then being the only player able to collect multiple 30-point games at the Olympic Games.
Bruno Caboclo joins an already stacked frontcourt with Johnathan Motley, Ben Bentil, and Ish Wainwright. They made a buzzing transfer market by bringing Patrick Beverley back to Europe, while also adding a prominent scorer like Marcus Foster and an experienced playmaker like Joe Ragland.
