Rui Hachimura Discussion: Huge Buckets

Prince played 24 mins. Perhaps a few of Vanderbilt's 41 mins should have gone to Rui?

 

Rui doesn't match up well with GS as he not a good chase defender and that all that GS does.

 

Ham reduced Rui PT against the Grizz in the playoffs after he scored 29 and 20 in the 1st two games in the series .

All you need to know

 

This isn't a one game/matchup thing though for Rui

 

Meh Rui is a very flawed player who doesn't pass the ball well, rebound well, or screen. Rui not getting minutes is the least of the Lakers problems

 

Beat them in 6 too. Most importantly .

 

Well..it depends on whether he's knocking down shots..that's why he's in the League. I like Rui, but you are correct on some of that, some matchups aren't ideal for his skillset.

 

He's still more productive than TP and should get more minutes than him .

 

Hasn’t miss a shot a game in two games

 

Ham is “Unimpressed Squirrel” though. His Big Dog from their Atlanta past needs minutes for that contract elsewhere next year and doesn’t give a **** he’s likely going to get our shot at Kawhi lite with a personality who loves it here ….. traded.

 

Free Rui!!! He can't guard anybody either, but he can get buckets!!

 

Bumpy shooting night. 3s were good, 2s were mixed.





Looked better battling in the post defensively. Gobbled up boards, got a swat, knocked a couple loose. Tried hard on the perimeter but Tatum is faster and shook him on the perimeter a bit.

 

This was his best game in a long time particularly his defense and rebounding. Against certain tweener types he's a good matchup for like Tatum

 

Yes. But we know Taurean Prince …. and Rui is NO Taurean Prince. Less minutes for this chump!!

 

Good riddance Prince

 

19 minutes..With the way that game played out, I'm not really mad.

 

Let's get a bday W tonight

 

We need Rui to have a big game tonight - he has played well against the Nuggets and he SHOULD have been starting last year in game 1 but Ham decided to go SMALL against a team that was BIG (schroder DLO Reaves). WHen Rui came in, we made a comeback and nearly stole game 1 from Denver. I think that one mistake from Ham cost us the entire series.
