Rui🔥🔥His goal efficiency stat is unbelievable. He scored 32 points with 11/14? 79% is just insane.

I think rui is the most mishandled player in the entire league

[@yamamancha]

LeBron took it on himself to address that put an end to that.

[@fatetzy1468]

Now he is in the right hand Lebron make u shine AR is a lot matured DLO in the form and now Rui is on the another level of his career I’m ready for play off

[@nurbmanjones1709]

At least before the Lakers grabbed him, he can be the first, second, or third option on this team any given night, good to see this young boy ball out and enjoy playing for this team ☝🏻

[@bachnguyenviet4289]

@@population-_-420 Vanderbuilt is great on defense but he's kind of a liability on offense, team will just let him shoot the ball cause he tends to brick it

bro he can't even make easy layups or putbacks at the rim either, he lacks confidence and finishing ability @@bachnguyenviet4289

[@chrany2004]

@@population-_-420 True AR is sometimes overrated tho

[@tony1876]

Triple double for Lebron. He controlled the game all night. Rui with probably his best game of the season. Great win for the Lakeshow

[@frankthetank405]

Rui does have something different in his game. You can see DLo and Austin contribute but they’re close to their ceiling. You get a feeling watching Rui that tells you there may be a top 5 player somewhere deep down in there. He has an identical body to LeBron and actually mimicks his game very well. If I was him I’d be trying to clone LeBrons game the same way Kobe did Jordan.

[@N-cubed]

To do that he has a LOT of studying to do.

[@poly_g6068]

He even has some things LeBron doesn't. Like his face up game. Better wingspan too. LeBron will probably always have an edge in terms of speed and passing though.

[@Anthonydu01630]

Rui is more similar to Kawhi . Kawhi is 6’7 230 with a 7’3 wingspan, Rui is 6’8 230 (probably more), with a 7’2 wingspan, and they both have huge hands. Rui is also an elite 3 level scorer like Kawhi, especially from midrange and 3pts line, they are crazy efficient, same at the freethrow line, and they are both very strong with a strong base so they are great in the post they can play bully ball or just shoot a fadeaway over you, and they are missmatch nightmare, too big and strong for small guards, and too quick and skilled for bigs … So offensively they are very similar, the big difference is on defense, Kawhi is arguably the best perimeter defender ever, but Rui is slow footed, especially when he is backpedaling and he struggle to chase quick players around screens, but he is a better interior defender than Kawhi, he’s a bit taller, stronger and i think he probably jump higher … I never understood why Rui didn’t start over freaking Taurean Prince (Who is a great role player but not a starting level guy), when Rui literally shot 47% from 3 in the Playoffs and proved he was a big game player, clutch and with a lot of versatility, he even guarded Jokic at some point and he did a very good job, and for me it’s just so obvious the offense would be crazy with him, because with him, Bron and AD you have 3 missmatch nightmare, and with D-Lo and Reaves or even Spencer you have 4 elite shooters and a capable 1 (AD), so there aren’t a lot of teams with the personal to guard the Lakers, that’s why we have the number 2 offense since ALL STAR break, around the time they finally put Rui in the starting lineup… Only big teams like Denver, Wolves or Celtics can slow down the Lakers offense when they are engaged imo, i think they would bully OKC, Suns, Warriors, Pacers in a Playoffs serie, and i think they could compete with the best teams like Denver or Celtics if everything goes right, meaning D-Lo keep playing like regular season D-Lo unlike last season, and Lebron keep shooting 41% from 3 like this season, and also if Cam Reddish come back to his In-Season-Tournament form when he was leading the league in steals and deflection .. I think if everything goes right we can win

[@Industrious420]

LBJ actually been working closely with Rui in the off season. He sees it too.

[@FR248]

​@Anthonydu01630 lakers biggest problem will be sacramento and denver. AD cannot guard jokic and sabonis 1 on 1. They need someone to bodied jokic and sabonis while AD will be the support defence.

[@deyllanoolton]

Rui literally moves like kawhi Leonard same intangibles etc if given the right opportunity man skies the limit I just know it.

[@brevinpascua8495]

in offensive skillset. He's literally Kawhi Leonard in Laker uniform

Anyone else loves Rui? 😅

[@silverplayer7502]

​@@paulapana6241 no one hates rui thats for sure

[@wimper.mesosheloose]

Why isn't Rui allowed to shoot more? I think he has a potential to get average 20 points per game. This is not criticism. Just a question.

[@MrSunshine189]

Are you kidding? He shoots every touch he gets..

[@carlchandra1900]

Recently he’s been getting more mins, but before that darvin ham loves to give taurean prince more mins

[@wimper.mesosheloose]

Yes. Recently he has a lot of chance to shoot than before. But Ham makes Rui stand at the corner. Although I'm understanding how important the role is, I think Rui can play more activity.

[@jsoft_og7065]

He’s allowed to shoot. He needs to be on the floor. Lakers have a coaching deficiency

[@joalrycarrefe3856]

Rui loves to ball against Griz, he’s got a good time there last playoffs.

[@ronggojati8898]

Rui has a mental x factor that no other player on the lakers has, he is very calm and doesn't have any burdens

[@titounaissi9283]

Rui flaws when he entered the league was making 3's and develop his ball handling. His 3's are better now. If he develops his handles and can be a playmaker like Dlo or AR, he is an all-star for sure.

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. LeBron.... Honey, my pookie bear, I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes | even call you dad. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left Cleveland and it's like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home, and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us, baby, but in 2016, you made history happen. You came back from 3-1, and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, LeBron James.

The problem is AD cannot guard jokic. They need someone strong to handle jokic while AD can provide help defence. In 2020 they have dwight and mcgee to stop jokic. They need to bulk up Hayes to do similar role
