Following the team's final preseason game against Phoenix, where Hayes finished the night with 7 points and 3 rebounds on 3-3 shooting, he made it clear he is all in on his role this year.
"My job is to come here and make the team better, and be the little glue guy on defense and on offense," Hayes said postgame.
