Our series on Washington Wizards players continues with Rui Hachimura.
The 2020-21 NBA season was Hachimura’s second in the NBA, where he maintained a stat line quite identical to his rookie season (13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 57 appearances). If there’s a game that highlighted the best of his skillset, it was on May 3 when the Wizards defeated the Pacers 154-141 when Hachimura scored 27 points on 12-of-19 shooting, including two three-pointers.
Strengths
With Russell Westbrook’s addition to the team this season, there was a good chance that Hachimura’s production would drop significantly, but it didn’t, except for rebounding.
