Lakers Rui Hachimura IN THE GYM for Training Camp & Getting Leaner? | Rui's NEW Role This Season?

[JSM]

What are your expectations for Rui Hachimura and his role this season? Comment down below!

[John-lvuj]

Raleigh Simmons coached by Fred Tex Winter. Rui has great percentage numbers. He is a better small forward than Vanderbilt, more dependable and less prone to injuries. Rui is a better scorer just give him the green light. LeBron can win with Rui.

3rd best Laker... when he's used correctly. Excited to see him thrive in ACTUAL offensive sets w. Reddick that get him in his sweet spots! Instead of Ham playing Prince for 40mins a game and insuring Rui never gets in a rhythm. 💯💯💯

Better coaching will help him. If he does, credit Reddick’s coaching staff. If not, it’s an indictment against Rui. He could be traded as a result.

All Rui needs to work on is being a better defender and rebounder and he will be fine but I hope and pray he is a better defender somehow and improves on rebounding.

[Jaytherapture]

Rui rebounds is all I’m worried about other than that he is exactly what we need

[fergusonhobbyfarm]

They were told by their coach to not worry about the offensive rebounds and get back. I think you have a different coach in there with a different plan. You’ll see the offensive rebounds go up.

Rui is a Pf with elite SF scoring capabilities. 3 level scorer! I think JJ should make Lebron defend SF and cut Lebron MPG! Especially when Vando is healthy!! DLo, AR, AD, Rui, will continue to excel offensively! Gabe, Max Christie, MLewis are 3&d role players, DKneckt and JHS are wildcards, JHayes, Koloko Castleton are rotation big men eating up center minutes. CWoods adds scoring and rebounding can really help at Pf and center!!! Lebron athleticism enables him to better defend Shifty SF. If you cut Lebron overall minutes he can possibly affect the game better on the defensive end as a priority!!

Sorry but Rui will be the same liability on defense because of his lack of lateral quickness and anticipation. He doesn’t rebound well for his size, he would be great coming off of the bench. He’s not a natural SF he’s a PF. Just out scoring other teams will get you beat when it counts.

Rui getting leaner and ready to play more 3 was the story last offseason. Didn’t work.

This team is very good and balanced. They just need to let vincent start for defense, and dlo be 6th man. The lakers bench will be better than other benches, and that will make them better than expected. Make atleast the second rd. An elite scorer like lavine makes them contenders. They lowkey got a core of 7fters, ad, hayes, koloko, castleton, that if used correctly can really make the lakers a good rebounding team.
Starting: Vincent, reaves, rui, bron, ad
Bench: dlo, christie, vando, knecht, hayes, koloko

if rui get 5-10% more speed and lateral he will be our starting sf

[BrockEvil]

Rui is entering his prime. He showed less growth than expected after training with LBJ last season, but Darvin Ham was a horrible coach. Hopefully coach Reddick unlocks him but he'll prolly be a bad coach too and the ceiling of this roster is still overall low.

[deandrepage]

Lakers 1st Unit needed a 6’6 Big guard defender from veteran free agency. 😔😔😔
That would have kept liability on defense against Small Forwards Hachimura at backup Power Forward.

[samanirsanglir]

I wish he had lateral speed he'd also be getting paid huge money if he could do that😢😢 I just wish he had just a little bit of Dwights athleticism to move lateral 😢😢

I wonder if he can improve lateral mobility even if its a lil bit, like Kevin love

[jmac]

Lakers not making any significant moves this offseason really hurts a lot of YouTubers, they can't make interesting contents anymore 😂😂😂

[TheNorthRemebers]

I know this team isn't amazing but I don't think changing the starting lineup is the move

[depressedlakersfan]

Still wish Vando was healthy to give him the starting SF role back to over Rui

[zlsolivers]

Lucky to have Rui, He looks to me to be the next Lebron great that he plays with Lebron, he has the best tutor there size and commitment age difference it's all a plus, under Lebron Rui will be a Big star much sooner because Rui is a star now .

[crandonhector]

Rui needs to crash the boards. He needs to hustle more.
