Rui Hachimura has played less than 20 mins in 4 of the 6 games he’s suited up for this season. In the 2 games he played 25+ mins, he scored 24 and 19 points.

Tbf, he played less mins because he looked bad defensively and his offense came at a cost of the offensive flow. He’s looked better in both aspects recently. One problem this team has to deal with is how LeBron, Rui, and Wood are all best suited as a PF but have to see some mins at the 3 spot.

Rui is one of my faves but let’s not act like Rui wasn’t a liability against some of those matchups

He still needs to get his legs under him. I think he will be fine in time

Correlation ≠ causation.
But I do like Rui and think he should be playing more minutes generally lol.

He also have the 2nd highest win share for the Lakers somehow, even better than Lebron.

Wild thought When he’s having a good game then he plays more
He can play d imo he should start especially with Reaves otb. He can score more in the starting line up and I think it will make Brons life easier. Bron can pass more.

Therefore higher minute games he’s scored a lot
Seeing a lot of people claim it’s because of his defense, but interestingly enough he has the [4th highest defensive rating on the team and the 5th most defensive win shares](https://www.nba.com/stats/players/defense?TeamID=1610612747&dir=A&sort=DEF_WS). Also averaging the most steals on the team
