    I heard every angle about how great the returning squad along with the new additions are and hope it to be so for the most part. But with Rui I caution not hyping up his prospects. He needs time to consolidate his new success and maintain good mental health. Let’s just wish him all the best and leave it right there. He might not get the shot volume u project especially is all goes well for Lebron..I do feel in blow out games and Lebron on the bench yes he can get 4-6 3pointers

    Like all teams, staying healthy trumps all other issues. If they stay healthy, and if Reaves and Hachimura both take another big step this year, the Lakers can challenge the Nuggets at the other top teams. Then, thanks to Rob Pelinka, the Lakers have great depth.

    I’m not letting these other ppl influence what I think we are going to be one of the best teams next year. Just think about the kinds of disgusting lineups we had out there last year. Legit were running lineups with wenyen, pat bev, Troy brown, jta, and Thomas Bryant and we were somehow still winning games. You’re telling me we have all this now and we’re not gonna be good?

  13. Gary Blubaugh

    Rui, and Reeves game grows add in Christie to that. Hayes takes a step up lots of room for a better record going into playoffs

  14. Gerald Sports Jr

    Rui in my opinion is a Baby Kawhi but he needs to work on defending from 3 better but overall Rui can be a all star in a few years and one of the best players in the league soon and we need him to do what he did in last year playoffs we need to him to keep being a playoff riser over a playoff dropper.

  15. S. Hendrickson

    The key to Rui's success will be in how coach Hamm uses him. I'm not concerned at all with Rui's ball skills. I just hope coach Hamm sees what we can see in his play during the season.
    16ppg, 5.5 rpg, 50+ fg%.
    82 FT %. MOST IMPROVED PLAYER OF THE YEAR!

    I believe Rui will be the starting PF for the season opener. His play at PF during the PO's was outstanding. This means Lebron will be returning to SF, look for lebron to come to camp at a lower weight. The lineup for the season opener will be DLo, Reaves, Lebron, Rui and Davis

  20. Dennis Knowles

    Rui will DEFINITELY GET BETTER THIS YEAR WORKING WITH PHIL HANDY IS GOING TO MAKE HIS DEFENSE AND OFFENSE MUCH BETTER 😂😂

  22. Roberto Sio

    Rui can pattern his play to Kawhi. He needs to be a solid defender and a consistent shooter. What's impressive so far was the ability to make his own shot. He just needs confidence and more minutes.

  23. Roberto Sio

    I'm not sold that Reddish could be a playoff contributor, we need to sign Kelly Oubre to solidify our rotation, especially Reaves is emerging as a point guard.

  24. Cruz the world

    I'm not concerned if his scoring increases at all as long as he is efficient. The biggest Improvement I would like to see out of rui hachimura is defensively. If he could become a lock-down Defender, which he has the skill to do, it would greatly enhance the Lakers chances of a championship.

  25. Greg Pollard

    Rui can shoot @ all 3 Levels and He can Run the Court. I see Him getting 15+ Points off The Bench on 50/40 Shooting @ PF this Year.

    I believe they will have Him replace LBJ in the Starting Lineup when LBJ leaves and I think He can Average 20-25 Points a Game when that Happens.

  26. Oscar Paredes

    I honestly can’t believe our two games are against the Nuggets and Suns. And people always blame the schedule when it comes to Lakers😂😂😂😂😂😂. This is a good opportunity to see how we are against tough competition

  27. Lance Handy

    I think RUI will become the defensive leader for Lakers and coach will mout him in better positions to score when needed that will make it easier for them but if gives great defense that don't really need him to score just be a threat so teams stay on him not play off.

    PG. AReeves SG. TPrince SFLebron Pf Rui C. AD
    Bench pg. DLo SG. GVincent SF CReddish PF Vando Cent JHayes
    Still got Max Christie to play SG/sf minutes.. This is dangerous! Go get a bruiser backup center who will rebound and be an enforcer!!!! DLo can be the 6th man , and primary play maker off the bench

  32. mrxexes

    A con that you missed is that he can become too mechanical and stiff at times, not that good of a dribbler but his fundamentals are good and toward the end of the season he did appear to play many losers. I also think that the development of Reeves and the addition of Vincent should help him because with LeBron now they have three players who are able to break down defenses with their dribble and are also able to pass. We saw a lot of this starting to take fruition in the playoffs, and I think it should get even better next season, With Rui the key is for him to be playing within his game and not trying to do too much.

  33. LOVE WINS

    I love Rui Hachimura. Yes, I agree. He never even scratched the surface yet. Go Rui!!

  35. Lil Dex

    We’re gonna have 3 break out years from 3 players on this roster
    Reaves
    RUI
    Christie
    Maybe DLO but we’ll see about him
