While Kendrick Nunn was on the scoresheet with the Wizards, Rui Hachimura still needs some time at the Lakers. He was unable to take part in the Los Angeles derby on Tuesday evening, but should be ready for the next meeting. Good news, especially given the video of the player in training. It looks very hot…
The deadline closes in two weeks now, but we can’t accuse the Lakers of not having tried anything. It’s not enough for many fans, however, Rob Pelinka managed to lure Rui Hachimura from the Wizards for a ridiculous price. A trade that has everything to turn in favor of Purple and Gold on paper.

Knowing that Kendrick Nunn never found his place in the City of Angels, his departure should not hurt this team. With an average of 13 points, Hachimura has the ability to win in Los Angeles, especially since he could relieve the roster in the absence ofAnthony Davis. The Japanese was also presented on Tuesday as a Lakers player, alongside Pelinka.

If he was not on the floor this Tuesday evening against the Clippers, Hachimura took part in pre-game training to test himself and meet a little with the staff members. The result is an already viral video with three points:

Rui Hachimura, the new sniper of the Lakers? 👀
If the new player can find his feet at three points, he will be a tremendous asset to the Lakers. A sequence that pleases the supporters, especially since Phil Handy was able to test it a little. The latter seems to be satisfied with Rui’s abilities:

Rui Hachimura was able to get to know the Lakers courts, even if he will have to wait a few days to put on the jersey for the first time. The interior seems in any case in good shape, to the delight of the supporters when we see his videos. Needless to say, it will be widely scrutinized for its debut.
