The most promising thing for him has been his passing and rebounding imo. he has been really excellent as of late and it is so nice to see

It’s getting to the point where I’m legitimately shocked when he misses a shot or two.

In some ways Rui can strive to be a better Aaron Gordon for our team. AG is better on defense but Rui has a more complete offensive game. Seeing his back door cuts recently has reminded me of a lot of Nuggets AG opportunities.

Does this count assists?

Well, I guess Rui Hachimura is just out there making it rain on the court since March, huh?

Good to see we have 2 players on this list

It’s crazy same shit happened last year. He didn’t play much when he got here. He struggled. He took his chance against Memphis and was phenomenal during the playoffs. Then we do the same thing. All season darvin had rui on the shortest leash of everyone in the rotation. Absolutely baffling fucking decision. Darvin had rui so buried on the bench, he’d convinced me that we might aswell move rui because we’re completely misusing him. Thankfully rui’s still here and we didn’t trade him for a 30 year old dfs

PG and LBJ hitting the list on over 20 possessions is impressive.

Odd how everyone in this sub keeps tossing him in every trade daily.

What a piece! If Rui gives us 14 and 8/game, we taking it all, idgaf.

The offensive efficiency of this team has been off the charts recently. Getting hot at the right time. The only thing that’s concerning me right now is Bron and AD’s health with these recent injuries. If they can stay healthy, I like our chances against just about anyone except Denver.

My Goodness LeBron and Hachimura most efficient front court in the league

Mike Trudeau was saying how Rui didn’t really grow up in a basketball-steeped culture in Japan like he would have here in the US. Lebron gives a ton of credit to his teachers, and remembers them by name in the Mind the Game podcast. Rui didn’t really have that as much, and now he has all of that + LeSensei
Plus he’s 26 just starting to hit his prime. Hope he can grow even more defensively and we can keep him long term, love Rui

3 teams have two players on the list. That’s crazy

We have our own Michael Porter JR. AD matches up with Jokic. Bron over Murray man we can beat Denver

It’s the same story every game. Get him about 6-7 shots in the first half then 1-2 in the second half

Rui really knows how to get to his spots now. Fantastic cutting and our guys have been hitting him

He has really turned his intensity up a notch. He is using his size so much better now and just taking shit straight to the rim. Beautiful to watch
