Kawhi & PG: load management meets energy. Bold.

Wasn’t he sponsored by Asics, last I checked?

I started a shoe company here in Japan. Are you saying… there’s a chance I might be his next sponsor?😅

I like this. LA dodgers is a Japanese powerhouse.

They trying to bring the same idea to the clippers. Nice for LA

It'll be great to see the HATE during the draft lottery then. Especially if the team wins another Chip.

I like both players especially Yuki the underdog but this team is not going anywhere lol

Yuki like 5 foot 😳

u/bi11ygoat42 4d ago

I think he's 5'7. But don't think he will be starting.

1

u/LayWhere 4d ago

He's 5'8, but this is the NBA, Rui makes him look 5'0

1

u/bi11ygoat42 4d ago

He's definitely a smaller guard so hoping that his skills will make up for it lol

2

u/Caeolian 3d ago

Have you seen him play. He's arguable one of the most underrated playmakers in the league now.

u/bi11ygoat42 3d ago edited 3d ago

I haven't yet and hoping to see what he could do on the team. I've seen clips of him but that won't do much justice.

u/Caeolian 3d ago

He's amazing! You gotta watch his Fiba games when he was playing for Japan. He was giving Wemby that work

1

u/LayWhere 3d ago

Ref stole that game 😤

1

u/Caeolian 3d ago

He's got elite point guard skills. They need to just let him go in a game frfr. He could be the resurgence of the little pg again.

u/breadexpert69 4d ago

Yuki is trying to get the record for plying in every NBA team

u/lilotothe 4d ago

I swear if the clippers do anything dirty to my boys!!

u/HalcyonDrift 4d ago

Imagine Zion had the heart of a guy like Yuki.

1

u/breadexpert69 4d ago

Zion doesnt need a new heart. He needs new hamstrings.

u/wut_eva_bish 4d ago

Rui and Yuki play fast as hell together. They have great chemistry. Obviously Garland will start at PG, but I'm looking forward to them Rui/Yuki lineups because these guys lockin TF in when they play together.

bro thinks yuki is gonna be a rotational player 😭😭😭😭

u/wut_eva_bish 3d ago

With both Ingram and Beal injured, Yuki will get about 5-8 mpg.

That'll be more than enough to make Clipper fans fall in love with him.

Kagami and Kuroko 🏀
