His jumper isn't bad at all, he's consistently hit mid-range off the dribble because defenders give him space (nobody wants to body him because he is strong as ****).

He hasn't played ball for many years, but he has a 7'+ wingspan and big hands, and is a cut 230lb with a strong work ethic. He's hit a good % on spot up 3's too.

I think his floor is a stronger Harrison Barnes. Ceiling is a Kawhi Leonard who is weaker on D.

He's a project, but so were Paul George, Kawhi, and Giannis. Big wings are insanely valuable right now and he has a lot of potential.

He's long and strong enough to guard 4's, most of whom will not be able to guard him well on the perimeter on the other end. Put a swingman on him, and he's getting posted up

[ralph_i_el]

People forget that guys like Kawhi and Jaylen Brown end up playing a bunch of 4 in college and don't get to show of some of their NBA skills. I think Rui is similar.

I'm also a Wizards fan, but I'm usually pretty pessimistic.

[Relinquish]

Didn't have a great game today, but he was apparently playing with a fever. Still went 9-10 from the line which is very encouraging.

Twice in the first quarter he just abused Cedi Osman to get to the line, in a manner that was LeBron-esque. I'm watching the game from today and watching him the entire time to really scout him closer.

Japan has no rebounding and are getting abused. They have a center who can't really run at all.

[PP34Deuce]

Rui is going to be a great glue starter. Not a star or all star but will be close to it at times.

Reminds me of corliss Williamson but hes going to be better athletically. Curious to see how he is on the wizards because I think in a winning environment like San Antonio he can be coached to be really good.

[Relinquish]

Damn, he had a killer dunk on Ilyasova. :rockon:

I see him closer to Larry Nance/maybe Blake Griffin Mold. Kawhi and PG?? I

[iamgine]

His style seems Blake Griffin-ish to me.

[Relinquish]

Another great performance from Rui vs Czechia. 21 pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts on 8-12 shooting. :applause:

[superduper]

You're on crack, this dude is good. I mean it's just vs FIBA comp right now but he is showing he is able to create on the offensive end by himself.

Floor Harrison Barnes ceiling Kawhi Leonard :rockon:

[superduper]

WTF not even close :oldlol:

Blake looks extremely out of place to me with his dribble and spin moves. It's effective, but he just doesn't look natural to me out there.

His floor is Harrison Barnes? :roll:
Kawhi Leonard aka the best player in the league is within his potential? :roll:

A stronger, i.e. better rebounding, Harrison Barnes is his ceiling. :facepalm

[wang4three]

Tobias Harris

I don't think Harrison Barnes is a good player. I also don't think Kawhi is the best player in the league. My comparison is based on their style of play.

Barnes is pretty much a Wiggins just with less hype, although I like Barnes better.

Kawhi da bes.

Asian.

[AirTupac]

azn. Will be in CBA in 4 years

[christian1923]

He stinks Wizards fans, I’m sorry. He can dunk though but tbh Ignas Brazdekis has more skill in one hand than this guy and he went 30 picks later and is younger.

[warriorfan]

Does anyone have any scouting reports on his package?

[MrFonzworth]

Does anyone have any scouting reports on his package?
My sources say it's absolutely massive.

[AirTupac]

Everytime I watch him play, it screams G-league MVP

[GimmeThat]

He needs to be able to draw fouls. He's a Japanese player, and that means athletic Centers will intimidate him. The difference between him and Yi, will be that if you ask him to focus on the offensive scheme and just hustle on defense, he should be able to swing the ball to the weak side, particularly if you take on the turnovers on a rebuilding team. Yi just played a lot more man to man.

[Haymaker]

I think his ceiling is Shane Battier.

Shane Battier was a great player in his prime. Rui has more juice when it comes to creating shots though.

[AirTupac]

Rui out with knee soreness. What a loser :lol

[VictorMosquito]

Something about this guy screams superstar to me. Can't quite put my finger on it.

[ralph_i_el]

Rui out with knee soreness. What a loser :lol

Are you retarded?

[AirTupac]

"Out for final 2 games because he is sore"

Nice knees kid

I think the only way Hachimura could be good is if he's on the Lakers. Otherwise, he's a bum.
