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. 💯💯💯
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.
THIS. I have never seen LBJ point blank tell reporters a player needs a bigger role (usually he's passive aggressive) - that's EXACTLY what Bron did tho, and when Ham FINALLY starter Rui over Prince the Lakers were MUCH BETTER. 💯💯💯 Reddick should bring the best out of Rui, getting him in RHYTHM. When he's scoring he has more energy on the defensive side of the ball.
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.
I think his on ball defense is alright it’s just his defensive awareness that’s the problem , he looks lost sometimes , and yes he needs to be a better rebounder for his size.
@@officialdownload4 In my opinion it’s not alright it’s horrible and his self awareness is a all time low but if he can just be average as a one on one defender and help defender then improve on defense then thank you Jesus
@@geraldsportsjr6074 tbh bro his defends only looks horrible against Denver , any other team he looks decent , all the other series like Memphis , warriors he wasn’t too bad, even during regular szn, he has moments where he shows 2 way potential.
@@officialdownload4 you clearly have not watched him again the warriors, kings and etc the only teams he look decent defending is the bucks, and grizzles 2 teams out of 28 is not a good look therefore he needs to improve on his defense he is too slow and not mobile enough 😂😂😂😂
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!!
💯💯💯... let LBJ play point forward with his HIGHEST USAGE RATE EVER, and CUT HIS MINS!!! The 7, 8, 9, 10 diet - 7mins in the 1st, 8mins in the 2nd, 9 mins in the 3rd, 10mins in the 4th. That's just under 35mins, it let's him CLOSE, and teaches younger Lakers to play without him early in games.
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.
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 😢😢
@@JSM24 I’m not concerned about his defense because there have been steady improvement and depending on the team he’s a nightmare defensively he just can’t guard quick 2’s or 5’s but he’ll improve I just see AR and DLO getting screened and blown by on defense leaving Rui, Old Lebron , and AD to cover them
Rui Achimura, he is just to gifted. The lakers - need him. I just hope, The Lakers don't trade him. They Should not include him, in the JERAMY GRANT, trade. The Lakers, should protec him, and Keep him on the team.
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
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
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.
Why do fans continue to talk about our offense...It wasn't great but it will work itself out as long as we have AD and LBJ....IT'S OUR DEFENSE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!!! My Jesus!! all yall dudes can think about is 1 end of the floor!!! The best path to a Championship is to have a Championship Caliber Defense!!!
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.
Me too. That would make Rui more expendable. Lakers need another elite role player who can play better defense and affect the game in several ways.l other than scoring.
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 .
To me, Colin Castleton, is a true Power forward, not a center. The Lakers, could have a gem of a Player, if they make Colin Castleton lose 20 pounds, and Send him to a track coach, to run And lose weight.
Rui a bench player at best. Even for the Japanese basketball team he was not effective. There's a reason even the terrible ass Wizards had him on the bench.
Vanderbilt has been hurt since February and only played 29 games last season if this dude isn’t healthy by December lakers a cooked even more than they already are man smh.
I think really Rui Hachimura on defense sucks and for the kind of money that he's making he should at least get you 8 rebounds AVERAGE every game for that kind of money it's simply he doesn't want to, not that he's not capable. And I'd tell him if you don't get that you're sitting down; and will trade your aZZ if you don't. 🫡
@@oscarparedes356 iF he's being paid like a starter man, then MAN UP, & BE A MAN. DO YOUR DAMN JOB 18prs + 8 rebounds (2 offensive boards) or SIT UR AZZ on the bench as a 2nd stringer 🫡

He's not, not even deserving of a starting position.
Definitely 3rd best player
@@Maxwell-h6eyour an idiot and don’t know basketball
@@rjjohn2241 Definitely not

Dont u think it’s a reason he told them to get bk lol.. our team defense suck thats why😂..
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.
It will definitely be something to monitor early on.

Worth noting: *Not* crashing the boards from the corners was a team strategy last year.
Rui rebounds is all I’m worried about other than that he is exactly what we need
Ehhhh, he has a lot of work to do defensively as well. Perfect complimentary player offensively, but has plenty of flaws outside that.
@@JSM24 I’m not concerned about his defense because there have been steady improvement and depending on the team he’s a nightmare defensively he just can’t guard quick 2’s or 5’s but he’ll improve I just see AR and DLO getting screened and blown by on defense leaving Rui, Old Lebron , and AD to cover them
@@JSM24it’s mostly just his defensive awareness he needs to work on.
Rui Achimura, he is just to gifted.
The lakers - need him. I just hope,
The Lakers don't trade him. They
Should not include him, in the
JERAMY GRANT, trade. The Lakers, should protec him, and
Keep him on the team.
This team is very good and balanced. They just need to let vincent start for defense, and dlo be 6th man.

Starting: Vincent, reaves, rui, bron, ad
Bench: dlo, christie, vando, knecht, hayes, koloko
Rui getting leaner and ready to play more 3 was the story last offseason. Didn’t work.
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
His rebounding and perimeter defense needs improvement too.
Keep up the great videos
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.
I know this team isn't amazing but I don't think changing the starting lineup is the move
Why do fans continue to talk about our offense...It wasn't great but it will work itself out as long as we have AD and LBJ....IT'S OUR DEFENSE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM!!! My Jesus!! all yall dudes can think about is 1 end of the floor!!! The best path to a Championship is to have a Championship Caliber Defense!!!
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.
Still wish Vando was healthy to give him the starting SF role back to over Rui
Me too. That would make Rui more expendable. Lakers need another elite role player who can play better defense and affect the game in several ways.l other than scoring.
if rui get 5-10% more speed and lateral he will be our starting sf
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 😢😢
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 .
False, false and false.
Rui needs to crash the boards. He needs to hustle more.
To me, Colin Castleton, is a true
Power forward, not a center. The
Lakers, could have a gem of a
Player, if they make Colin Castleton lose 20 pounds, and
Send him to a track coach, to run
And lose weight.
Such a flawed roster. Plain and simple.
Lakers not making any significant moves this offseason really hurts a lot of UA-camrs, they can't make interesting contents anymore 😂😂😂
....
Rui a bench player at best. Even for the Japanese basketball team he was not effective. There's a reason even the terrible ass Wizards had him on the bench.
🗑️
Like some other lakers tui van work on his defensive/ lateral footwork but I like a aggressive rui on BOTH ends. 🤔😏👍
Vanderbilt has been hurt since February and only played 29 games last season if this dude isn’t healthy by December lakers a cooked even more than they already are man smh.
He’s only one player. Stop playing man. Rui can play defense. Look at his numbers. His numbers are better than LeBron and Anthony Davis.
I think really Rui Hachimura on defense sucks and for the kind of money that he's making he should at least get you 8 rebounds AVERAGE every game for that kind of money it's simply he doesn't want to, not that he's not capable. And I'd tell him if you don't get that you're sitting down; and will trade your aZZ if you don't.

That will create a lot more pressure to him and that is the least thing you want to do😂😂😂😂
@@oscarparedes356 iF he's being paid like a starter man, then MAN UP, & BE A MAN.
DO YOUR DAMN JOB
18prs + 8 rebounds (2 offensive boards)
or SIT UR AZZ on the bench as a 2nd stringer
