Hey everyone – in this video (can also find it on SilverScreenAndRoll), I broke down the film on how Rui breaks down close outs so effectively. Thanks to the mods for letting me post.

Because he’s a big guy playing SF while the rest of the league has tiny SFs

The one guy out of himself, Reaves, and Dlo that I would not trade. It’s hard to come by offensive wings with his skillset and he’s still developing it seems. I would easily trade Reaves or Dlo over him.

Guy can shoot and create offense by himself. However, guy has the most tunnel vision and is basically a black hole. Sucks very hard at transition offense, every fast break there’s >50% chance he will just lose the ball or get blocked, and his inability to pass does not help at all

Oh, breaking down Rui’s close-out attacks. It’s like poetry in motion! The way he reads the defense, uses his quick first step, and finishes at the rim is just pure artistry. Watching him dissect defenses is like watching a master chef create a culinary masterpiece – you just can’t get enough of it.

He’s only 25, still room for improvement too
That’s how
