Rui Hachimura

Entering his fourth year in the NBA, Rui Hachimura still has plenty to prove. Could he find himself doing it on a team besides the Washington Wizards?

Some would find that outcome surprising. Many observers feel that Hachimura is primed to take a leap in time. He’s got a nice combination of athletic gifts that should enable him to do so.

Still, it might be difficult to accomplish on these Wizards. They already have Deni Avdija and Kyle Kuzma, both of whom are similarly best suited to divide their time between the 4 and the 3.

Furthermore, the Wizards will select 10th in the NBA draft. Plenty of similar players with high upside will be available. Jeremy Sochan particularly looms as a player who has a chance to be the best player available when the Wizards select.

Even if they go another route with their pick, Hachimura might be the odd man out in the nation’s capital.
