When General Manager Tommy Sheppard drafted Rui Hachimura with the 9th overall pick this past summer, it caused a mixed response from the fanbase. Rather than taking a gamble on a guy who many thought had higher a ceiling like Cam Reddish or Sekou Doumbouya, Sheppard went the safer route in Hachimura who many perceived as the ‘lower ceiling but higher floor’ player.
Some thought Rui Hachimura was going to be good but I don’t think anyone predicted that he’d be this good just seven games into his young career.
