The Brazilian big man signed a one-year deal with Italian side Umana Reyer Venezia, the club announced Friday.

Caboclo, possessing an impressive 231cm wingspan, was born in Osasco (Sao Paulo) and began his basketball growth in his home country. In June 2014, he was drafted by the Toronto Raptors with the 20th pick. From 2015 to 2018, he played three seasons with the Raptors 905 in the NBA Development League, winning the title in 2017.

In February 2018 he signed with the Sacramento Kings and completed the G League season with the Reno Bighorns, while in January 2019, he signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. In February 2020 he returned to Houston while exactly one year later he joined Limoges, in what was his first experience of European basketball. With the French club, he averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds per game.

In the 2021-22 season, he returned to Sao Paulo and won the BCL Americas, the first title in the club's history. In that season Caboclo was chosen as the MVP of both the Brazilian Championship (NBB) and the BCL, averaging 24 points and 11 rebounds per game.

In January 2023, he signed with Ratiopharm Ulm, helping the German squad reach a historic championship title in the BBL. Caboclo was one of the key players on the roster, averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in Germany, and 17 points, 8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in the EuroCup, where he was an All-competition Second Team selection.

The 27-year-old big man is part of the preliminary roster of the Brazilian NT that will soon begin the preparation for the World Cup group stage that will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
