Rui Hachimura has had to go through a hectic schedule since he was drafted by the Washington Wizards last month.
Last week, the 21-year-old finally returned to his native Japan for the first time since the draft on June 20. But he won't have much time to sit back and relax on his couch.
Hachimura will soon begin working with the provisional Japanese men's national team ahead of the FIBA World Cup, which will kick off on Aug. 31 in China.
