Ruia Hachimura is going to be a beast

27ppg on 58% shooting with Japan so far, leading them to wins over Germany and Australia in the last year.

He is a way better pull-up shooter than he showed at Gonzaga, where he mostly played out of the post. He bullies wings on the perimeter, and can play above the rim.

The Wizards will be bad this year, but I see him putting up ~18ppg as a rookie if he plays a good amount as a stretch-4. I think his floor is going to be Harrison Barnes.

31 points vs. Germany recently https://youtu.be/Xe_Y1NzlRTc


Edit: lol I typoed the man's name in the title.

I'm so excited to watch this dude play. He has so much offensive skill, just needs to work on his handles and footwork a bit. Defense was also extremely impressive in summer league. :cheers:

I low key wanted him on the Lakers. While he does look good in that video you have to remember he's going against much weaker competition than the NBA. Like he looks REALLY fking good in that video but he's an NBA athlete who just looks faster and better than a lot of non NBA athletes. Overall, he'll be a solid player bare minimum.
