(sabasports report)Los Angeles Lakers player Rui Hachimura posted a photo of himself practicing in the pool on social media recently, raising fans’ expectations for his performance in the new season.
Rui Hachimura played in 68 regular-season games last season, averaging 13.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 26.8 minutes per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 42.2 percent from three-point range. In the playoffs, his numbers improved further, averaging 7.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
It’s worth noting that Rui Hachimura has two years and $35.26 million left on his contract, which means the Lakers have plenty of time to develop the potential Japanese player. Through the practice photos on social media, we can see that Rui Hachimura is actively preparing for the new season. I believe he will make a breakthrough in the next season and bring more surprises to the Lakers.
