Jaxson Hayes impresses in NBA Summer League debut

Jaxson Hayes is incredibly disrespectful and he doesn’t care about anyone’s well-being.

Perhaps the eighth overall pick in June’s NBA draft should have returned to Texas for one more year so he could learn some manners.

On Monday night, the world tuned in to the NBA Summer League contest between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Chicago Bulls.

On the NBA’s smallest stage, Hayes played big boy basketball.

In only 21 minutes of action, the Pelicans rookie tallied 28 points, grabbed four rebounds, violently recorded three blocks, and almost took one life.
