Professional NBA overreactor. Here for the discourse.

I follow back.

@Lakerzinfive For future reference. I’m sure you will learn as you grow up. But don’t act like you are highly educated on topic that you really don’t know much about. It’s not going to get you far in life.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

Rui Hachimura aka "Japanese Jordan" in his 2nd preseason game as a Clipper:

14 points
3 rebounds
1 assist
1 steal
3 turnovers
3/8 FG
1/3 3FG
7/7 FT
63.2 TS%
19 minutes
-5 +/-

I have a feeling he is going to make a lot of fantasy managers very happy this season 🔥

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive You only know three players on the clippers. I’m sorry but that disqualifies you from any credibility when it comes to fantasy basketball.

To be good at fantasy basketball you need to know 95% of the league at least.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive You can’t be out here acting like you know everything when you only know three players on the Clippers roster.

It’s arrogant. I don’t like people that don’t know anything but act like they know everything.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive Okay that then what are we even arguing about then because

18 points
4 rebounds
2 assists

Is a huge jump from last season. In the range that I got him, that’s highway robbery.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive If you don’t think Rui is going to eat in that format this season, you just don’t know basketball.

Roles can be scales up and down depending on the roster. I think 25-30 fantasy points is reasonable to expect from him this season despite being a 18-22 guy for most of his career.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive When did I say he is going to average 30? That I never said anything close that.

Also I don’t know how traditional leagues work. I play in Real Time Fantasy Sports where:

1 point = 1
1 rebound = 1.25
1 assist = 1.5
1 steal = 2
1 block = 2
1 turnover = -0.5

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive Tell me. Who is going to take up usage other than Garland with Ingram out? I’m genuinely curious who you think.

Because you doing a lot of trolling but not answering my questions.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive I don’t know why I’m engaging you when you are clearly a troll but one thing you do not understand is Rui is not going to put up the same numbers on a bottom 5 offense that he did on a top 10 offense.

That not how basketball works. They will 100% go up.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive We’ll see.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive I couldn’t be wrong but you have to look at the Clipppers roster and notice how many guys cannot create offense.

Jones Jr
Lopez
Dunn
Strus
Gradey
Yanic
Jackson

These are not guys with shot creation ability. Beal is out, Ingram is out, Wagler is a rookie. Rui is going to eat.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive Who do you think is going to shoot the ball other than Garland?

This is not the same team that had Luka Doncic and LeBron James. This is the first time in Rui’s career he is going to be asked to shoot 13-15 shots a night, in a points league that is big.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive Yeah you don’t assume things like that and sit on your high horse like you know everything.

In any points league Rui could have been drafted for great value two weeks ago. He is going to play high minutes and get a lot of usage with no Ingram.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive I’m in a points dynasty league 20 man roster. Again, it’s dependent on the league. Rui will get heavy usage. I’m confident he will be very impactful for me this season.

[JustHoopsThings @JustHoopsThings]

@Lakerzinfive It’s dependent on the league. I drafted him in my dynasty league. 20 player rosters. Got him for a steal.
