Washington Wizards: More preseason praise for Rui Hachimura

He only needed one half of action — just 16 minutes to be exact — but Washington Wizards rookie Rui Hachimura looked good once again in last night’s preseason game versus the Guangzhou Long-Lions.

The Wizards didn’t need most of their studs in this one. They cruised to a 137-98 victory even with Bradley Beal and Ish Smith getting zero minutes. Hachimura was one of only two players that started last night’s contest and Monday night’s versus the New York Knicks. Thomas Bryant was the other. Against Guangzhou, Washington was obviously doing some lineup experimentation and seeing what they have from their new guys.
