Vonleh and Caboclo filled two of the six offseason available roster spots available (max 18 plus the pair of two-way contracts) to the Celtics, so the team can still add three full-time contracts and another training camp invite.<\/p>\n<p>Both players got selected in the first round of the 2014 NBA Draft, stand roughly 6-10 and boast wingspans longer than 7-0. At 26-years-old, neither player has found their NBA footing, but Caboclo achieved two-way productivity on the way to a MVP award in Brazil&#8217;s top league with S\u00e3o Paulo F.C. while Vonleh had a productive season with the Shanghai Sharks. They&#8217;ll join <strong>Luke Kornet<\/strong>, signed for 2022-23, and <strong>Mfiondu Kabengele\u00a0<\/strong>on a two-way contract as the Celtics try to piece together spot minutes at the five that <strong>Enes Freedom<\/strong> and <strong>Daniel Theis\u00a0<\/strong>played behind\u00a0<strong>Robert Williams III\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Al Horford<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Celtics Sign Noah Vonleh &amp; Bruno Caboclo to Training Camp Deals\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0F0kvp7zE4g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Celtics expect to play more small ball this season with the additions of\u00a0<strong>Malcolm Brogdon\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Danilo Gallinari<\/strong>. They&#8217;ll still need size to round out the rotation though, and while Williams III and Horford successfully staggered each other&#8217;s minutes last year, an added burden fell on the other when the other exited the lineup. Horford, 36 this season, will likely need more minutes management. Williams III, despite an injury history, continues to receive encouragement from <strong>Ime Udoka\u00a0<\/strong>to give Boston more. Another minutes bump for the emerging defensive player of the year candidate is a likely motivator behind the Celtics&#8217; assuredness with their current front court.<\/p>\n<p>There also haven&#8217;t been options that have peaked the team&#8217;s interest, whether aging veteran free agents like <strong>Dwight Howard<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Demarcus Cousins<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Hassan Whiteside <\/strong>or high-cost trade targets. The expiration of the $17.1-million trade exception last month further limited the Celtics&#8217; avenues to add a center, but they maintain $5.9-million and $6.9-million exceptions until the trade deadline if an emergency arises. They&#8217;re remaining patient and both Stevens and Udoka emphasized their belief in Kornet, who has $300k of his $2.1-million contract become guaranteed on Aug. 15 before an escalator to $1.1-million on opening night. Kornet averaged 11.9 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 3.9 APG and 2.6 BPG on 50.6% shooting in 10 games with Maine last season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re still looking,&#8221; Stevens told <em>CLNS Media <\/em>last month. &#8220;We\u2019ll still add at least one more body at whatever we call the five position nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enter Caboclo after a productive Summer League with the Jazz, where he almost exclusively played the five after entering the league with more wing tendencies. He averaged 12 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game on 60.5% shooting, a cut above his 40.3% mark from his first four stops between Toronto, Sacramento, Memphis and Houston. His 30% efficiency from three fell in line with his past NBA production, but focusing on rim looks increased his overall productivity and his bulkier frame pointed toward a commitment to the interior. Caboclo, Kornet and Vonleh all fill the screening, dribble handoff, rim protection roles the Celtics desire at the five.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Screen Recording 2022-08-05 at 2.47.34 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/te6c3o#?secret=WmTs2E8v4S\" data-secret=\"WmTs2E8v4S\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1152\" height=\"588\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Caboclo&#8217;s 7-7 wingspan allows him to effectively raise his arm and throw down dunks, but his past propensity to over-dribble, launch jump shots and float, along with a thinner frame, limited him to 4.2 PPG and 2.6 RPG in seven NBA seasons. Last year, he posted 18.3 PPG, 8.4 RPG and 2.1 BPG on 52.8% shooting in 44 games., including a nine-game postseason run where he averaged 23.9 PPG, 11.1 RPG and 3.6 BPG on 63.6% FG. He&#8217;s not a traditional big and that could be what the Celtics like, with the potential he could mold into a more versatile role than the veterans on the free agent market could provide while being willing to accept no regular minutes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Screen Recording 2022-08-05 at 2.48.39 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/y9ieqy#?secret=cq9ScIoXKF\" data-secret=\"cq9ScIoXKF\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1152\" height=\"612\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite his strides, Caboclo may just be below the NBA talent threshold given his many past attempts at breaking into the league. The same could be true for Vonleh, who grew up in Haverhill, though he had the lone productive NBA season between the two players in 2018-19 with the Knicks, when his cutting and downhill activity allowed him to score 8.4 PPG with 7.8 RPG on 47% shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Vonleh, the former No. 9 overall pick out of Indiana, entered the league with more muscle and skills than Caboclo and similarly struggled to shoot (30.8% 3PT) while bouncing from Charlotte to Portland, Chicago, New York, Minnesota, Denver and a brief Brooklyn stint before falling out of the league.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Screen Recording 2022-08-05 at 2.54.51 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/7enyf1#?secret=4NknSp1m5V\" data-secret=\"4NknSp1m5V\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1152\" height=\"522\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Vonleh&#8217;s season in China looked similar to his NBA role, facing up, attacking the basket off the dribble, making sharp cuts to the rim and banging inside for buckets and boards. He averaged 14.4 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.8 SPG and 1.3 BPG on 45.1% with the Sharks. More of a wing in the past, Vonleh, like Caboclo, could make the shift to a more interior role with more versatility than a traditional center, though his low efficiency around the basket makes him a less intriguing prospect than Caboclo, who can legitimately protect the rim.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Screen Recording 2022-08-05 at 2.47.58 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/fk6ta1#?secret=4UJQy5lciX\" data-secret=\"4UJQy5lciX\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1152\" height=\"600\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Vonleh flashed more playmaking ability, whether on or off the ball, as a movement driver and his past success in a bit of a garbage man role could position him as a depth backup wing and big.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Screen Recording 2022-08-05 at 2.51.46 PM\" src=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/o\/hqfufz#?secret=suW16azqY5\" data-secret=\"suW16azqY5\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"1152\" height=\"564\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Celtics still have that need at wing, and with three open roster spots both players could make the roster.
