Sean Davis on Twitter: “If Rui dropped weight and it adds to his lateral quickness that is one of the most positive things to happen to the Lakers this offseason.”
LeBron loves Rui so much. Very cool to see them working together. Maybe Bron can hook him up with a Melo workout since that’s his idol.
As for the weight loss, I’m super interested to see if it improves his lateral quickness. I think Rui being able to stay with most 3s consistently is more valuable than him being able to guard up occasionally.

Reaves at the 1 and Rui at the 2 with Bron and AD spaces the floor and matches up defensively with a lot of teams

Maybe I’m tripping but that shot looks a lot less flat than last year, looks like he changed his form a little.

Rui def slimmed up some.

All rui gotta do is raise his release point just a tad.. similar to BI, elite midrange guy but 3 was always short. When he got to NO they raised that release point and he became a much better shooter.

Still want Rui to keep some bulk to bully his way in the paint. Loved how he finished through contact and got wherever he wanted to against 2nd units
