Man I really want him to be successful in the NBA. I saw some weakness too in Today’s game, but overall I think he got a really good release so if he works on it more he will be a even better mid range shooter and a three point shooter. Also he is still in the progress of developing therefore I’m really looking forward for him to have a great career and become an even better player.
Ye people say he won't improve cuz he's old but relatively to when he really started playing playing he's not that old look at jokic for example how much he improved I'm hoping to see Rui do the same cuz I love watching him play.
pizzaguy there are many players who became all stars who improved a lot during their career in the league. People tend to say that he is over 21 so he won’t improve that much but I really believe looking at how much he improved from last year, he’s potential is over the roof. Hoping that he will get a good development in the league not like fultz who became a bust after that shooting development m.
I noticed he was very cautious with his landings. I love that so much, doesn't land on one leg. Very smooth smart game. Gonna be a great player for a long time when he comes into his own.
Really hope he slips and is around when the Spurs are drafting. Would be the perfect fit. Chip England works on his 3 point range, he learns solid, fundamental team defense, and the rest will be history. He could slide right in, be a starter at the 4 by midseason.
Mock NBA draft boards have him pegged anywhere from late lottery to the late teens, so we’ll see. A lot will change between now and then. He’d do good in Miami however if he did end up in SA it would be an opportunity to win right away, maybe even get some playoff seasoning. We’ll see.
his fundamentals is good reminds me of TD he is going to be a great player he should be TOP 5 but Great pick for the wizard..excited to watch him on fiba Asia..
He's definitely my favorite player in the draft! I hope he has success at the next level but imagine if he got drafted by the spurs 👀🔥. I don't think that's going to happen but it would be dope.
he literally made like 10 mid-range shots he has a consistent midrange thats amazing like kawhi so when the playoffs slow down he cant mix it up with bullying and shooting 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He’s good. Good defender, passer and has decent offensive plays around the rim. Now as many pointing out he can’t play bigs in NBA with his size so got to develop outside shooting and improve ball handling.
i'd believed that he would get the trophy,,, but the "ELIET8" is awesome. he is the first man who reached there. and now i bet he'll spend very good career in NBA. Thank you, Rui. You were, and you are the Super Star of japan. i hope you'll spend special career. 未だに優勝できなかったことが信じられません。それでもエリート８まで日本人として初めて到達したことに、同じ日本人として誇りに思います。きっとNBAでも素晴らしいキャリアを歩むことでしょう。そう願っています。日本の希望の星。これからのご活躍を願っています。（つたない英語で申し訳ないです。笑）(i'm not good at English,,,)
Kawhi 2.0 Right after kawhi carried a team to a Championship. Rui ain't even played a summer league game. FOH Be humble, and put respect on kawhi's and other superstars name. You expect him to play like kawhi next year?? NO, then slow ya roll dogg. Speak realistically. There's levels. He has to be a Nick Batum first before you say kawhi 2.0. And what Lonzo is the next Kidd. Ya expect everybody to be superstar status before playing a NBA game. Deshawn Stevenson, the next Jordan. Cut it out.
@ZEPHYR 22 Yeah, he Did the work. He proved he's a superstar. He did it quietly and the right way. I'm just not for giving rookies superstar status, even if it's potential. Why, because now they'll be asking for superstar money (max) and they ain't prove nothing yet. Maybe if we stop calling them superstar names, they'll act like rookies and work hard. I understand Zion (once in a generation talent) Treat him like a rookie. Don't lable him the next kawhi. That's silly.
@@kingphil4073 Lets see in the east you got Giannis, Kyrie....Kemba...Joel Embiid...Bradley Beal. maybe Jayson Tatum, and Ben Simmons. .Not that many great players. If Rui averages 20 points come all star weekend I think he will make it. And I am not sure what you are talking about LeBron...he was the captain last year All Star for the west. oh okay, you are talking about LeBron's rookie year. Considering John Wall is out, the Wizards will look to Rui to put up shots just so he can develop. Similar to Luca Doncic last year. It is even possible that Rui goes to the all star game but does not win Rookie of the Year. That could go to Zion, however the west is so loaded with good players, they will not have any room for him on the west all star team.
I look at this guy and the way he is playing and how strong he is He can be no1 pick contender not fourth.. Atlanta is lucky if they get him.. There are just too many Barret caliber and Moorant in NBA but Rui Hachimura is a much needed in a struggling team.
I like to see Rui Hachimura in fibaworldcup2019 team Japan and they bracket in powerhouse worldchaMpions U.S.A and played to KD,kawhi,AD . I like to see playing someday will face team Gilas Pilipinas in fiba asiacup2021 , and they greet to make nba draft this year , from the Philippines
@5:30 This wasn't even the third time I've seen Hachimura and Clarke block the same shot (They did it to RJ Barrett at the end of the Maui final) but this was the last one and I still didn't see it enough...
To be honest he’s a Small forward. I get he’s strong and able to get points in the post but he has shown to be able to score from anywhere and make his own shot. In other words he’s to versatile to put at the 4.
I heard that he is one of the generation of miracles..
Corgi Lover aomine
@@kalisticksgod9032 Nah lol. Doesn't have anything close to Aomine's ball handling.
Nah, he's clearly a Shohoku product lol. Slamdunk>KNB

PF-Zion Williamson
C-Jonathan Porter
He is akagi
Who’s here after he got drafted by the Washington Wizards
Me, man I hope he can be a big steal for us in the end.
Yesss!
I doubt it but if he is, we will trade him for a bum in two or three years.
Drafting naruto characters
Remind me of rookie kawhi!
Hachimura is the steal.
Thank you, Rui and Gonzaga. Next is NBA and FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019, Tokyo 2020!!! Let's go Rui!!!

He began playing basketball very late like when he was 13 so there’s much room for improvement .once he gets his jumper he’s gonna be a threat!

@@shingekieren8666 yes exactly how I feel
He's already a elite midrange shooter and is very skilled at getting to the rim. He has the athleticism and strength to be a star in the league.
Body like Giannis
Moves like Kawhi
Fundamentals like Nowitzki
Make the bucks, Rui! As a Zag fan, thank you for the amazing run!
Remember this guy!! Already has some great fundamentals and make right/ straight clever choices . Classic player "Khawi" type. Efficient and simple.
this guy will be a superstar knows how to save energy uses head
better landing
more than 10 years in the nba
I noticed he was very cautious with his landings. I love that so much, doesn't land on one leg. Very smooth smart game. Gonna be a great player for a long time when he comes into his own.
Is it just me or is anyone else getting a Kawhi vibe from this kid? Great potential, too! Looking forward to seeing him in the NBA.
more like hybrid karl malone and hakeem olajuwon
Lei Yoh I can see it
Lei Yoh Yup exactly why I hope my Bulls pick him up but we’ll see lol
No That’s Deandre Hunter
Lets go Wizards!!! He’ll be great next to John Wall and Bradley Beal.
As the biggest Kawhi fan, i just found my 2nd favorite player to look forward on his playing.
Really hope he slips and is around when the Spurs are drafting. Would be the perfect fit. Chip England works on his 3 point range, he learns solid, fundamental team defense, and the rest will be history. He could slide right in, be a starter at the 4 by midseason.
body build and skill like kawhi and giaanis
I hope so too Spurs will build him to be great.
I don't think he slips past 15. I'm hoping the Heat draft him, he'd do well in Spo's "positionless" basketball.
Mock NBA draft boards have him pegged anywhere from late lottery to the late teens, so we’ll see. A lot will change between now and then. He’d do good in Miami however if he did end up in SA it would be an opportunity to win right away, maybe even get some playoff seasoning. We’ll see.
@@valis14 Definately, I think he has potential though. Hopefully he lands in a good situation regardless.
いままでNCAA見てきて
日本人がこの舞台を湧かせてくれると思わなかった
八村、最高だったよ
進路がどうなろうとずっと応援してる
He has huge hands and his offensive game is somewhat similar to Kawhi Leonard.
Similar to paul millsap not kawhi
Same wingspan 7'2 and same height 6'8
I see no resemblance in his game to Kawhi's, that's a reach comment.
been watching him since high school, best of luck in NBA rui!
his fundamentals is good reminds me of TD he is going to be a great player he should be TOP 5 but Great pick for the wizard..excited to watch him on fiba Asia..
八村、そしてゴンザガありがとう
Has the potential to be a future MVP if he keeps improving at this rate, kid is no joke
お疲れ様でした。今後の活躍もきたいしています！
He plays like kwahi.
Bro, was thinking the same thing. And his form and shot arc are so similar
Defense and offense. He will be a diamond in the rough. If there is one person that can refine his skills. That is coach pop
He reminds me of carmelo
@you're right his shot and handling? His foot speed isnt exactly elite either.
But look like Giannis
He's definitely my favorite player in the draft! I hope he has success at the next level but imagine if he got drafted by the spurs 👀🔥. I don't think that's going to happen but it would be dope.
me to.. kawhi 2.0
Hope he will fall to the spurs
zZzWxRT _ I would absolutely love him to come to San Antonio. Are you a Spurs fan too?
八村お疲れ！おかげでアメリカ大学バスケについて少し詳しくなったわ．いやーほんとNBAに定着してほしい．
He got a nice mid range shot
My bulls needs to draft this guy, he will be a superstar
Mr Pickle I hope they do even though they need help at point guard
He's the Black Asian version of Bucks' Giannis, congratulations to him by drafted in Washington Wizards.
Well I mean it is the Wizards..... so I don't know about that lol.
Not even close tho this guy is 6'8 and rarely dunks.
Enea Buraku he could play pf and occasionally small ball center and a p&r with wall would be great
Don’t lie, the playoff game against the Grizz brought you here.
Yessir!
he literally made like 10 mid-range shots he has a consistent midrange thats amazing like kawhi so when the playoffs slow down he cant mix it up with bullying and shooting 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He reminds me of Tim Duncan not a flashy player but really really good at the basics
dang!! he is supper good!!! うますぎる。。。TX techの試合レストランでリアルタイムでみんなで見てたなぁ。。。

He kind of plays like a raw Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi 2.0. Washington Wizard
We should've had Kawhi.

His jumpshot is so clean and smooth. Dude has great potential in the NBA.
Future kawhie leonard playing💪

Yeah he really does play like him,so much restraint and IQ too
Yup, first player I thought of when I look at his footwork.
Soriya Jeevananthan minus the defense and rebounding. He’s not even on kwahi level

Yuta Watanabe?

@@chemicalroam he is still better there is no guarantee he will eben be drafted
Hes black for real with a lil mix of Japanese.

This guy was getting drafted by the Spurs in the mock draft
Jerry Kelly I would cry tears of joy if that happens.
please be drafted by wizards🙏
you got it boiiiii
Do you know the numbers to the lottery as well coz this is spot on. Wizards got him. Haha.😃
I know this is a little late but congrats. It would not surprise me if Rui becomes an all star in his rookie year. This guy is just amazing.

Will be a good fit with the Nets let's see if he'll be there at 17
Wizards will have many fans because of this kid. Come on! Join us!
5:22 John Stockton
If he improves his outside range and ball handling hes going to be real good at the next level
