Rui tonight having 11 points tonight on 63% shooting, 2 assists, and 4 rebounds, to go with a super high +17 in only 22 minutes in the 121-107 win. We’re so much better with this man on the floor.

I have been saying, he’s not a super star, but he’s one of the most consistent players on the roster. I trust him to come in and do a great job.
His defense and awareness is improving so much with each game. Cant wait so him and the rest of this teams development next year. Sky’s the limit.
Bro is genuinely one of the strongest players in the league. There was a play where he just moved the Suns third string center three feet away from the basket when he was trying to post up.
I think playing Vando might be situational. I want Rui in the starting lineup
Rui has been so much more active than I thought he would be since the trade. Really hope we can keep him.
Were better because of who he shares his minutes with. When he’s not next to Wenyen (so when he plays with AD), we’re really good.
Evidence of Ham’s lineups really dialing in when he doesn’t have to deal with injuries and minutes restrictions.
Rui Hanamichi
thank goodness for Rui and Malik, otherwise they would have lost to the Sun’s C squad
A bit disappointed he didn’t get to close the game out. Feel like that’ll play into his next contract since he said he wanted to close games in DC. This was a game he deserved to close out but I guess Ham doesn’t trust in him lol
Did anyone else catch his handshake with Bron where they bow at the end? I don’t think I’ve seen that before tonight but I love it lol
This is the way
You know how they always call every random dunk a poster?
I don’t know if you can even buy NBA player posters anymore; I’m not in that market.
However, I would strongly consider buying some kind of print of this Rui photo. It’s the best.
He deserve 30 minutes a game
His defense and awareness is improving so much with each game.
It appears so….
Lmfaooo we the same picture every day
i love how calm and collected Rui is before making his move, very efficient and effective. High basketball IQ indeed.
Great photo!
I think he’s earned the start over Vando at this point. Or at the least give this man more minutes!
Japanese Juggernaut 🙏🏼
It’s interesting how this sun gets some of the minutes stuff right and ham doesn’t make the move until after a break out performance
The japanese work ethic and focus! My man Hachimura!
I think the coaches are encouraging him to finish at rim more, he only shot one mid jumper today and it was in the paint as well. His contact finish on the left side def needs work tho.
Theyd rather start Hachi than Vando man,
Depending on matchups,
Imo if they get
Nuggets – start Rui
Grizzlies – how do u defend Ja?
Kings – start Rui
Refreshing to see a new photo of him on here after a solid game
He going have to play some center so Lonnie can get Gabriel minutes
It’s hilarious to me that this is his only picture I see here with the Big Foot pose
Great things happen when he shares the floor with lebron James.
Start him over Vando. Vando’s offensive liability outweighs his defense now. Unless he’s locking up star players, his value is low now.
The longer you let Rui play, the closer you are to winning. Ham doesn’t get it.
This propaganda is so fucking weird.
I’ll always respect how Rui came during the dark times. When we thought we’d ride or die with Westbrook and Rui was going to be the nest trade we made that year.
Ever since he landed he’s made an impact.
Such a great offensive and defensive player. This guy will continue to show us moments of.brilliance when we need it.
His defense and awareness is improving so much with each game
Why does the same pic of Rui keep getting posted lol, there’s gotta be another one
And still no respect by getting him a new picture
