The Lakers are 16-3 Record this season when Rui Hachimura grabs at least 5 rebounds. When Rui crashes the boards the Lakers are very tough to beat. The SIZE of Davis, Hachimura and LeBron will be imposing and scary to any playoff opponent should the Lakers get in

Yeah if he continues his rebounding streak it would be a massively good sign for the Lakers prospects. Teams have a hard time of guarding him AD and Bron at the same time. Only the Nuggets really have the size to compete and Rui can score on them as well if given the chance.
Man yo ass up on defense Hachimurasan
Welll he also tends to play more minutes when he gets 5+ rebounds so that helps
Except when we play Denver who still have a bigger, taller front court/backcourt…
Whose idea was it to acquire Hachimura for Nunn + 3 SRPs? Their talent evaluation is good.
More rebounds means the other team is also missing more. Worth questioning if his uptick in rebounds tied to our winning is due to him being more aggressive on the boards, or simply the other team missing more shots.
The way we defend, hard to assume we’re just a better rebounding rui away from being an elite team.
