I just wanna see Hachimura succeed in the NBA

Most underrated player in the draft...extremely high basketball IQ, always plays under control & makes the right decision, can do it all on both ends, and has the physical size, length, and athleticism to play 1 through 5 in today's NBA. Cleveland would be wise to make him the cornerstone of their franchise with the #5 pick to complement Collin Sexton (I have Reddish to NO at #4 because of fit). Teams will regret passing on this kid, he's the real deal and the main reason for Gonzaga's historic success this season.

Jewel of Japan

We love and miss you Rui. Go zags

I don't understand why more people weren't talking about this guy? He's clearly got NBA potential and seems to be a very honest and hard-working player. What more could you ask for?

Youngin can get buckets Welcome to DC !!

He's like a mix of Kawhi Leonard and Tobias Harris. People are saying he can't play the 3 but he actually has the shooting touch. Very fundamentally sound, great Fiba player with Japan playing against men. Not bad on defense but got to improve, be more energetic and active. I hope the Lakers pull the trigger at 4. The time to be afraid of international players is gone. He's a future all-star.

As a wizards fan I am so excited we got this guy

Welcome to the Wizards big fella!!

The first pick in the post Grunfeld era. Been waiting for this moment. Let’s go Rui!

He impressive. Looking like a steal at nine.

the energy the movement without a ball and his footwork is great, no question for a top ten draft

I was a lil skeptical when the wizards drafted dude but after seeing these highlights I feel dumb for doubting him

His mid-ranges are crazy

Welcome to the lakers big Fella

I want him to go to Spurs.

Just torched the Grizzlies

Welcome to the city Big Ru.

Welcome to the Wizards big fella!

Yea he’s a lottery pick for sure and one of the many hidden gems outside of the top three. He’s a tweener since he’s a four but he’s built like a wing. Luckily he can hit a face up Jumper and has a three ball as well. he’s also a great passer in the halfcourt post as well as an adequate ball handler in transition. His midrange game is easily his greatest strength from day one and he has a passing gift. Also, a very underrated defender too. Reminds me of a more polished Julius Randle

Rui's jumper is crispy.

if only we could get him to play like this now

Love the midrange shots thou!!

I didn’t even know who this guy was before the draft but damn he looks so polished already. His shooting form looks great for someone his height and his ball handling is not bad either. I think he’ll be a great player in the league

Hachimura had 20 and 7 boards against the Big 3!

Welcome to the Spurs. Calling it now

Hate to see these comments from uninformed people who have only seen a few Gonzaga games. Those who know him from Japan and his entire Gonzaga career know he is still improving inside a phenomenal athletic body. He is very similar to kahwi in physicality. He dribbles up court with the same stride as Scottie pippen. He is a question mark. But only in what is his ceiling. His athleticism alone will give him a decent career.

His game soo clean

めっちゃ強すぎやろ！

Japanese and Filipino people can ball they just usually don’t have the height needed for nba ball. This guy is gonna be really good with the right coaching. Improve his handle, refine his shot and teach him a few more post/iso moves and he’s an all star

八村くん最高🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵❤️

i like what i see ❤️💙

top10 for sure

If he played on the east coast hed have received the attention he deserves

He's like a mixture of Aldridge and Imbiid i can even see a young Giannis with a jumper too. Very quick for his height and a very solid midrange. Such a great pick for Washington 🔥

Damn... I was slept on a fellow asian!

Spurs better get this guy.

If only the Rockets had a pick. He could of been great in Houston. Love his passing & post play.

LET's be honest: his jumper looks like Kawhi Leonard's, welcome to the wizards my guy!!!

The fastest 18:56 I've ever watched. Fun watching his game.

I believe Rui or RJ will be the most the most complete players out of this year's draft. I'm definitely pulling for Zion to showcase to people that he can compete against bigger talent. At least I believe he can...But I believe RJ and Rui will showcase their potential, this upcoming season.

Welcome to the Lakeshow. Buddy Nice!

I watched highlights of him before the draft. I was thinking Cam Reddish or Bol Bol. But I was like damn I want to somehow get that Hachimura dude, he looks and plays like Giannis Antetokoumpo. Now I am pumped for the Wizards!!! We could have had Bol Bol in the 2nd round! lol

HE'S A WALKING BUCKET! Reminds me of my favorite player Carmelo Anthony. (But Hachimura will be better!)

If this is his floor, his ceiling is Giannis with a jumpshot. Don't screw it up, Washington.

Perfect fit for the Nets. Please 🙏🏾

This is one of the sleepers in the draft! I’m trying to decide if the Lakers should draft Culver, Garland, Hunter, or Hachimura

I can only pray he falls to 13th to the Miami Heat! PLEASE!

プレイヤーとしての完成度がめちゃくちゃ高い。

hes a combo of kawhi and giannis

14:15 are you kidding me

Good to see Hachimura finally get some respect. All the Mock draft dudes had Hachimura not in the top 10 and some of the fools did not have him top 20. I wished he would of fell like Bol Bol so GS could of Drafted him. Like I said all along there will be alot of teams besides the top 2 picks that are going to fell stupid not taking Hachimura and thats Debatable I think he will be the best player in this draft.Just like Bol Bol I cant believe GS had 2 shots at him and they did not take Bol Bol, Hachimura,, is a steal at 9th pick,could be the steal of the draft, but Bol Bol 44th ? that could be the steal of the century. Good Luck Hachimura at least Wizards showed you some respect and I hope you Kick some ass for them.

Bulls lets go

Underated

i like Zion totally but damn he is not the only potential super star look right here has the same moves like giannis damn get this one lakers ditch kuzma haha

NBAでも大成功しますように

すげえなるいさんは

I wish Scottie pippen would take him under his wing and teach rui NBA defense. He could be amazing defensively if he played anything near how Scottie played.

Got that Blake griffin shot

This man kawhi

Duuuuuuude, this kid should be #1 or #2 pick! He plays so smart and has great shot form. I predict he's gonna rise higher than the #1-#8 picks.

Haha when it gets to the Washington game, it might as well also be a Bill Walton reel because he's ALWAYS saying something batshit. "Did you have parents?" "That's his deal: long arms."

If he gets handles he could be a mix of a big small forward. Pj Washington plays the same way as well.

This man is Kawii if you know what I mean

looky of year2019

LAKER FANS!!! WE GOT A STEAL!!!

Plz can you put back up the Lamar ball jba USA tour montage

Lakers mane

#DCRISING

Lakers now 💜💛

Reminds me of a Scottie pippin in Dennis Rodman’s body

Damn he's going to be good, he already has a go to move (turnaround), he can spot up or shoot off the dribble, he seems like a better than average passer, he can play the pick and roll, finish around the basket, he's athletic and he can shoot the 3 with good mechanics... oh and he plays defence? What can't he do? He makes me think of Kawhi, but with better fundamentals than college Kawhi... hope the Wizard shit hole of a team doesn't fuck up his development.

Ski sum scoutic for my wizards

I don't know if he will break the Asian basketball Stereotype since he is half black but I still want him to suceed. I hope asian basketball will get the respect it deserve someday.

So the first of the generation of miracles makes his appearance

"With the 4th pick in the 2019 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select.. Rui Hachimura from Gonzaga University." EDIT: AD > Hachimura

anyone who knows 13number person's name? please tell me.🙇‍♂️

feels like jerami grant

Greek Freak. Hes a smaller Giannis

i can see ewing in him

Reminds me of tj warren

Welcome to the Lakers have fun with AD in the paint

DC is it

Timberwolves.. See you guys in a week when we draft him

1:30 looks like melo

Next Giannis

I’m a knicks fan now I gotta watch the wizards because he is my favorite player

2nd coming of kawhi a much better passer tho.

Tobias Harris is his upside not bad at all...

To think he wanted to play baseball, can you imagine a 6”8 outfielder?

Kawhi ver. 0.5

The NBA mock draft selected him as the 12th overall pick to the Charlotte Hornets

Reminds me alot of blake griffin

Is he like half black half Asian?

3pも持ってるのかやばいな

i don't know about someone 6'8 who plays like a Center. He's good, but he'll take a long time to expand his game in the NBA (imo)

Pelicans are sleeping 😴😴😴😴

If he had more range he wouldve been perfect for the Heat, the problem in drafting him is that he plays the same as Bam.

very skilled indeed. that free throw jumpshot/elbow jumpshot of his is a lost art, he should perfect it. very similiar to tim duncan.

Do you have parents?
