The scene of Rui Hachimura appearing makes DC fans hyped

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura hasn’t played so far in 2021, a season where his team has experienced more wins than ever in his brief stint in the NBA. That may soon change, however, as rare footage of Hachimura has been released featuring the Mages. Excited fans everywhere as before NBA the lottery was not only played on the field, but he spent one turn after another.

After finishing the season on a high with two consecutive twenty-point playoffs in the Wizards’ first-round playoffs to Philadelphia 76ers, Hachimura was ruled out for the first month of the season with an eye infection known as “bilateral conjunctivitis (EKC.). With the dreaded infection now a thing of the past, Hachimura will join his Mage teammates, 11-6 of the year but having lost three of their last four.

Hachimura also entered a team that filled him admirably, begging the question – is Hachimura a starter on this team? Kyle Kuzma has shown his recovery is invaluable for this Wizards team, so he is likely to occupy the first few minutes in the striker position. That left the small forward position for Hachimura to occupy, the point being that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played in that position and played excellent counter-attacking defence. If the Mages want to put Hachimura in that position, they have to be willing to make some defensive sacrifices… assuming Hachimura doesn’t make any strides there during the season.
