Rob Pelinka, the final supervisor of the Los Angeles Lakers, lately acknowledged that veteran ahead LeBron James has devoted his whole summer season to personally mentoring his teammate, Rui Hachimura.
“I think watching Rui come here after the trade sort of felt like a personal renaissance for him. He just came alive as a player again, and he parlayed that this offseason with really incredible work,” Pelinka stated.
“He spent most of his time training with LeBron. I think that was really intentional, and I know the coaching staff and the front office, in the days where we’ve had some individual work in here, he’s playing with an extremely high level of confidence and belief. I think his strength and athleticism look like they’re at a different level.”
