Bruno Correa Fernandes Caboclo (born September 21, 1995) is a Brazilian professional basketball player for Hapoel Tel Aviv of the Israeli Basketball Premier League and the EuroCup. He plays at the power forward and center positions.

After making his debut for Pinheiros in Brazil, Caboclo was drafted 20th overall in the 2014 NBA draft, whereafter he spent seven years in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Early life

[edit]

Born in Osasco,[1] Caboclo was raised in Barueri and Pirapora do Bom Jesus in the state of São Paulo.[2] At age 13, he began playing basketball for Grêmio Recreativo Barueri, a social club that invites children from local public schools to play sports.[3]

In January 2013, Caboclo linked up with coach Rafael Franco at Score Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina. In his first game, against top-five-ranked junior college Vincennes University, the 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) forward with an almost 7 ft 7 in (2.31 m) wingspan missed three-pointer after three-pointer. Coach Franco told Caboclo he had to be aggressive and had to rebound, and the scoring would come, and was temporarily banned from shooting threes.[3]
