This is why the first guy I wanted when the Lakers were looking for a big was McGee yeah he’s already old but he gives good minutes when he’s on the floor with his low post offense and energy, we needed someone to give AD some time on the bench, the Hayes signing was idiotic because we are pushing for a title this year
I too wanted the Lakers to prioritize a big to unlock more team potential with AD spending some time at PF as a patrolling helper with another body to secure rebounds when AD goes for the block. But please, Rob, no more recycled old Lakers, just find someone else. _________________ “When it looks as if it is a realistic possibility, I want to focus on winning a ship like it’s a goal that can’t be denied.

A min salary third stringer, he’s a project along with Colin, all good, see which one pans out _________________ “The main goal for the Lakers is to win a championship. All I care about, all we care about, is to raise another banner in the rafters.“

Yep!
Injuries slowed his progress down but he has been somewhat of a disappointment, to say the least. It's still early, he may or may not pan out.
I hope it works out for him but, so far, his stats are dismally bad.

Stats:
1.6 PPG, 1.4 RPG, 0.3 BPG
Not just the stats because you cant put up stats with little playing time but agreed with the premise that this dude frankly just plain sucks. An old washed Dwight would have been better than him.
Sheesh, why did y'all build up such expectations in the first place? He looks no different to me than he did last year, he seems to be basically the same player. There's still a chance that he acclimates and finds a groove so I'll remain hopeful, let's give him and Ham/Handy time.
Too early to judge a min salary player. still young and have room to grow. Need to be paired with a player that can actually beat there man so his man have to help out. Fundamentally no big man move, his best offensive move from highlight is a hook. If he grab and gather he is too slow in his shot motion and play small for his size if not dunking, so refining his hook shot looks like the best option for now. His help defense is fine and his switching to a small looks fine, just need to work on his offensive arsenal.
Yea Reddish looked useless two weeks ago. I give a fair amount of leeway to young players especially since the Lakers are clearly still implementing their schemes. Hayes has looked very bad but who knows what he'll look like in a few months

I liked a lot of what I saw tonight. He's got tons of energy and exuberance. He just needs to harness that to make sure it doesn't lead him into unnecessary fouls and turnovers.
He moves his feet really well to help defensively and is ready to contest up high. Something we really need.
Some great dunks tonight, he seems to have a lot of raw ability to play this game. Made a really nice drop step to get a score around the defense, if he can do something like that more often then he's going to have to play more.
Best game as a Laker, hope he can keep it up.
Jax has a lot of raw talent and energy, if he can harness those things he could workout for us. Low risk experiment, worth developing.
Remember how ya'll wanted Dereck Lively as a rookie for the Lakers?
Hayes is basically that for us this year.
Have you seen Lively? He is a good basketball player and playable in regular situations. Hayes sucks. Has no awareness. _________________ Previously CamReddish
