It's been a non-stop summer for Wizards rookie Rui Hachimura, who went from being drafted in New York and into D.C. in June, Las Vegas for Summer League in July, and to Japan and China for the 2019 FIBA World Cup in August and September.

Hachimura accepted an invitation from Ambassador Shinsuke J.
