The Lakers Nation has spoken, the player to become the x-factor for next season, it's not Reaves

In a deep roster for the LA Lakers filled with a mix of talented young promises and experienced proven players, GM Rob Pelinka and coach Ham have built a team strong enough to contend for the next season's championship title after ending the last campaign in the WCF series vs. the Nuggets.

Opening night for the 2023-24 championship will be the most anticipated rematch against the NBA champions, especially after all the trash talk from the head coach Michael Malone.

But in a deep roster, the fans are betting on the Japanese Wing to be the team's x-factor after what they have been seeing him putting up the work in the offseason.

The last postseason was great for Hachimura which helped him to sign the three year for 51 million deal. Now that Rui has been seen working out in Japan, then Greece, and now in LA, the fans are excited about what he is going to bring to the team in the next season. Hachimura is set to become the team's x-factor to win the next championship title.

Rui Hachimura will be the starter wing over Jarred Vanderbilt

According to reports by NBA insider Jovan Buha, Rui Hachimura is set to be the starting wing in the upcoming season. It will also depend on the game, but so far the reported possible starting five will look something like this: D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Anthony Davis, and LeBron James.
