Hachimura is expected to be the last starter for the Lakers! Recognized by the team for a summer of training with James

On September 30, Beijing time, the start of the new NBA season is getting closer and closer. Lakers general manager Pelinka and coach Hamm were interviewed yesterday to talk about the team's prospects for the new season. Among them, which players can be the team's starters has become the most noteworthy question.

According to Lakers reporter Jovan Buha, 4 of the Lakers' starting positions have been confirmed: James, Thick Eyebrows, Reeves, Russell. The fifth starter will be determined during training camp and preseason proceedings, and according to team sources, Hachimura is currently the player considered the most promising player within the team to secure a third frontcourt starting spot.

At yesterday's press conference, Pelinka was full of praise for Hachimura, saying: "Hachimura is playing now with a particularly strong belief and confidence. I think he's at a different level of strength and athleticism, and he's just getting started, he's going to continue, and we're all very, very looking forward to Hachimura. After Hachimura came to the Lakers, it was like a personal revival for him. He's not the same as before, he's active again, and he's spent most of this offseason training with James, which he did intentionally. ”

Interestingly, just yesterday, the Lakers once again released a number of photos of Hachimura and James training together, and you can see that the two not only take training very seriously, but also have a tacit understanding with each other. Hachimura not only retweeted the photos, but also picked up James.

In last season, Hachimura played in 33 games for the Lakers in the regular season, including 9 starts, averaging 9.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game, and made 16 playoff appearances, including 1 start, averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Can he be a new season starter for the Lakers? Let's wait and see.
