Rui Hachimura has demonstrated throughout his rookie season that he's a capable scorer, using his athleticism to get plenty of close-to-the-basket shots and perimeter scoring chances.
The Washington Wizards power forward has also shown that he has the stamina and strength to be a solid rebounder.
Through Wednesday, Hachimura is averaging 14.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 29.4 minutes in 38 games. After missing 23 games due to a groin injury, Hachimura returned to the rotation against the Golden State Warriors on Feb. 3 and has found his offensive rhythm. He's scored in double figures in 12 of the 13 games since his return, including a pair of 20-point efforts in that stretch.
