Throughout the season, Rui Hachimura’s role has fluctuated. He began as a starter, but with that lineup consistently losing its minutes, head coach JJ Redick relegated Hachimura to the bench.

The Lakers have been on a roll for the better part of a month with just about everything going their way. Luka Dončić looks like an MVP, LeBron James is embracing his role as a third fiddle and Austin Reaves has stepped up in recent fourth quarters. The only thing that isn’t working? In-bounds passing.

Nepotism has always had a rightful place in the conversation about Bronny James. However, from the jump, it completely dominated the conversation, leaving very little room for other discussion, like about his game or his potential as a prospect.
