The Los Angeles Lakers signed Jaxson Hayes to a two-year, veteran’s minimum contract on the second day of NBA free agency after his former team, the New Orleans Pelicans, declined to even extend him a qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent.
As of the publishing of this post, Hayes is currently the only reserve big man on the roster behind Anthony Davis, so to get a lowdown on what fans can expect from his game, I reached out to my friend Oleh Kosel, the managing editor of The Bird Writes, who has covered Hayes’ entire four-year career so far.
