Is Pat Bev right? And where do you think Rui needs to improve the most heading into this season? Comment down below! Subscribe to JSM+ here for more (non-Lakers) NBA content! - th-cam.com/channels/KtmxXgZuz1u__0U2Qfglrw.html
I hate to admit it, but Pat is right he’s the 3rd most talented player on the team, DHAM didn’t do him any favors. I can definitely see him taking a step this season how far we will see.
Rui is a talent at scoring, and Bev is right, Hachimura probably should take the 2nd most shots on the team , AD being 1 and LBJ is also going to be facilitating. He had some 30 point games and 9 3s? 8 ? He is as He must improve rebounding, and 19 points, 8 rebounds avg is a reasonable goal, that would make the lakers a top teaming the league 😊 If rui takes shots , lbj and AD will feast on o boards
The Lakers would have been a #5 Playoff Seed if the GM had used veteran free agency to sign a 6’6 Big Guard with a Defense 1st Mentality to PLAY BOTH WINGSPOTS DEFENSIVELY. That would have kept Hachimura the backup Power Forward because of his poor athleticism on defense against NBA Small Forwards.
As much as it kinda pains me to say it, but Pat Bev is correct, Rui needs to become more versatile, and utilize his physical frame and 3-level scoring ability to increase his touches and point averages to make him a more reliable 3rd option. Furthermore, at 6'8 230lbs with a 7'2 wingspan, as well as displaying very great athleticism, strength and agility, he can definitely become a very capable and reliable defensive player that can guard the 2-4.
It’s just my assumption though : it’d kinda be because of his growing up environment. I too grew up in Japan, now live outside of it (France) and hooping non pro level. And I got the same reactions “be more agressive, be more confident”. When you are once part of a Japanese club in school years, most of coaches train you as “you exist for the team, not vice versa”. If you do some NBA style iso, you’d be immediately out of the roaster for being selfish. It could be generational though, at least my generation was strictly like that so was Rui’s I suppose. It’d sometime be a strength to being extremely, from the occidental point of view, humble but also a curse that “not able to be agressive because we grew up being said not to be socially”. Even compared to other Asian culture, Japanese one requiring be “non individualist for everything” is on an extreme level. I might recommend Rui to naturalize US citizenship to change his mind set even the law forces him to abandon Japanese one if he serious about being top of the league.
I disagree with the sentiment that Rui isn't aggressive, relative to his role on the team. He isn't the focus of the offense, like that. Nor, does he have the ball enough to do what some people are asking of him. That said, Rui has the skills to score more. This is shown by how his scoring goes up, when LeBron sits out games. And, also when he plays for team Japan. But, under usual circumstances, he's somewhere around the 5th option for the team. Which is commiserate with guys like Taurean Prince, in regards to offensive opportunities. That said, do I wish for the Lakers to utilize Rui more, in the offense? Yes, as that's his strength. He's more than a spot up three point shooter (which he drastically improved as a Laker). But, Ham wasn't the coach for that type of offensive strategy. Reddick says his style will incorporate more team/ball movement, while making AD the fulcrum of the offense. We'll see what that means for team/player success...
The team has two leaders and if they want/ need production from Rui they need to tell him to shoot. The other thing is position, they have 3 players that want to play PF, and it’s a requirement for 2 of them. When Bron has been out, Rui has cooked… can he be more aggressive and contribute? Yes, but play him at the right position and then assess what he is providing the team.
RUI!!! 💜💛😈💛💜 - criminal that Ham didn't start him, never established his rhythm or got him in his spots - BRON KNOWS he told the media Rui needs a bigger role. LBJ usually passive agressive tweeting about it, with this, he straight said it. 💯💯💯
They want Rui Hachimura to compensate for not having a NBA veteran 2-Guard that actually compliments his point guard as a catch & shoot weapon behind the 3-point line.
Rui has the talent, I actually rather him more than Kuz on this team and i like Kuz.. just feel that Rui is more talented it’s just the mindset needs to be more aggressive no matter who’s on the team.
Rui is limited on D. Not bad, limited. Guarding centers and movement shooters is not ever going to work for him. He needs to be matched to bruiser 4s. Problem is that puts Bron in chase which is never happening.
I believe it would be a mistake to try and establish certain options or factors. In my view, you ideally want everyone's shot to be "in flow. "...not your shot, pass it. If you don't have chemistry and flow, people begin to stand around, waiting for their "turn". We've all seen it. Finally, the amount of money? That's some "I massa, you slave" bs. A player's job is his "job." If he does his job, he's earned his pay. Just like YOUR job! Stop hating!
He has the same problem most of the Lakers have: the inability to effectively shoot or pass when dribbling over four times. Just look at the video and count how many times he dribbles more than four times. This means he has to often be in the right position to shoot while getting fed. Having so many players with such similar profiles makes it easier for teams to scheme the Lakers' offense by forcing the ball out of James' hand and into the hands of players like Hachimura, Russel, and Reaves making them shoot off the dribble where they often struggle against vs bigger faster players with fast hands and feet.
That's the primary issue with Rui. He's a PF who has to play behind LeBron or get shoehorned at SF. Even out of position he's the next best SF if Vando out injured.
He struggled scoring against MPJ 😂.. he’s not as good as everyone thinks. Still a decent player tho. Remember Kuz went to Washington and took the team and his position lol
When Rui put his head down and say F it he gets called out for tunnel vision… it’s hard to play with Lebron and just do what you want…you seen what they did to kuzma lol Rui would be shipped quick
I don’t think he should just put his head down and attack the rim on every play (I’m actually glad he stopped trying to do that), but he does need to look for his shot a bit more and not pass up 3pt shots. The ladder of which are still minor problems.
I don't understand why people say it's hard to play with bron when you get hella shots up when you play with him. He's going to pass the ball as long as you aggressive and not scared of the moment. Everybody who played with bron says they loved playing with him so saying it's hard to play with bron is a false narrative as usual
@@GuerillaBless because he himself is a system and not everyone can play to their fullest potential in that system…just like Luka. Yes you get hella shots but you also are not all that free out there either….Lebron is also heavy ball dominate at the 4 position. Takes the ball out of a Natural point guard’s hand, hold the ball for a long time as well. The evidence is there. If your having a bad shooting night you can loot be on the floor with Bron unless your absolutely reeking havoc on defense cause you ain’t bout to run the offense enough to be effective with him on the floor. Even now at 40 Steph got turned into a catch bonafide role player on the team USA team. Holiday turned into a corner shooter and booker turned into a cut/ give and go player. Your minimized playing with Lebron point blank period. If you can find a way to make it work you look really good next to him but if not you look like HOT GARBAGE. Plus you get blamed for everything when playing with him too. It’s not a narrative it’s facts both him and Luka. Luka not as bad though
@@GuerillaBless everyone who played with Bron did not say they loved😂😂 multiple players says that it’s very difficult unless you don’t need the ball in your hands to be effective…why you think Ingram was dealt so quick, why you think wade had to diminish his style of play even though he was outplaying bron ?? Answer that bro don’t get in your feelings about facts because role players found success playing with him cause they can’t do shit on their own. The real false narrative is that Bron makes everybody better 😂😂😂 and I don’t hate bron either I can’t sit here and let y’all act like the facts are not facts

Nah, DLo or Reaves are the 3rd most talented, but I agree he needs to do his thing

Pat Is right and the Kuz reference was right as well.

Pat Bev should go and Coach already or do something like Player Development.
I think he can really benefit a lot of teams.
rui needs to play like how he always plays vs the grizzlies
Not sure what you're talking about Pat Bev was 100%:correct about everything
It’s just my assumption though : it’d kinda be because of his growing up environment. I too grew up in Japan, now live outside of it (France) and hooping non pro level.

Maybe a hot take but I thought Bev was a great fit for our locker room. We need vets to hold our youngsters accountable - he’s 100% here.
On point with this one
Rui is a one dimensional player right now. He's gotta add more to his game or become a better defender to avoid being traded
He’s a 3 level scorer ? You know they ain’t to many role player that can do it effectively like that. I agree with the defense part tho
I don’t agree with a lot of Patrick Beverley, but this man is spot on I love Rui game, but his mentality is not what it is supposed to be
I disagree with the sentiment that Rui isn't aggressive, relative to his role on the team. He isn't the focus of the offense, like that.

Pat Bev is right. Rui is too soft and he doesn't assert himself. Dude is built like a tank and he has a jumper he should be an all star.
The team has two leaders and if they want/ need production from Rui they need to tell him to shoot. The other thing is position, they have 3 players that want to play PF, and it’s a requirement for 2 of them. When Bron has been out, Rui has cooked… can he be more aggressive and contribute? Yes, but play him at the right position and then assess what he is providing the team.
the issue with rui is just rebounding, health, and more importantly defense.
It’s true dlo is here to play make. Austin needa worry about scoring. Bron n ad gon get theirs. Rui needs to be a 17-20 ppg scorer

Didn’t help when prince was taking all his mins. But reeves still shouldn’t start. They need some defense in the perimeter
Looks like Reddick just mentioned that hachimura will be the starting lineup. That's a great sign
Retitle this video, LETS BASH RUI ALONG w/Pat Bev
Sporer Radial

Weirdo energy
What he said wasn’t negative
Ham was supposed to use him when he was injured! Stop hating on Ham!

Good observation, though Rui can finesse it when the clock is not winding down. Especially in a mismatch cause he’s physically stronger
RUI is not that guy
Bro like he didn’t even start for the Wizards lol.. i like Rui but i think he’s just a good supporting player.
@@wills.9422 facts bro! I do like him but he’s not that guy.
Hachimura will replace LeBron when he retires and he plays defense.
Woahhh 😂😂😂😂 chill I love Rui but we not there yet
That's the primary issue with Rui. He's a PF who has to play behind LeBron or get shoehorned at SF. Even out of position he's the next best SF if Vando out injured.

Rui is doo doo at defense bro he is so slow wtf u talkn bout Bron at 39 plays better defense than him 😂😅
Huh rui defense is terrible

Rui is a dollar store kawhi leonard, just as fragile but 10x worse at every aspect.
Rui is soft unfortunately.
Rui is slow and cant play defense lol Bron is better at age 39 on defense when he wants to be than Rui at his best on defense thats just sad bro . 😂😂
Pat Bev should go and Coach already or do something like Player Development.
I think he can really benefit a lot of teams.
