|

If one compare stats and physical attributes, Hayes can be a Poor Man's version of Blake Lively - plus they both bring great energy.
IF EVERYBODY is Healthy
Vando
Hayes
Vincent or Christie
AR or LBJ
LBJ or AD
This lineup brings a great deal of energy and effort with young/experienced legs
As the Mavs has shown, players used properly can maximize their impact on games. |

Don’t think Hayes could have pulled off that role in The Town.

Luka>Bron&AD
Now add Kyrie
Hayes doesn't make a contenders roster.

Jaxson Hayes has similar stats and physical attributes of "Dereck Lively" that he showed on the court. Of course, he is a Poor Man Version.
Enjoyed the funny comments, but Hayes has proved effective in backdoor lobs to providing energy to showing that he will always play at 150% effort level. He doesn't have the pedigree of Lively, but the NBA is filled with players that have worked hard in developing their game.
Hayes definitely needs to add more weight and strength, like all young players. Mavs are showing that one doesn't need a traditional big to play the 5.
It has been said that this University of Texas alum and former lottery pick spent his first four years playing for the New Orleans Pelicans as a starting forward who has displayed a slew of physical attributes and flashes of overall game. Just like many other players like Aaron Gordon, it takes time to find a situation that is the right fit and to develop one's game (i.e. Basketball IQ and defense) |

He's our best offensive rebounder and lob threat.
- Jaxson isnt skilled in the post
- Jaxson cant shoot 3 pointers
It's too bad the only value a player has in Lebron ball is their 3 point shooting percentage  . |

He is a Poor Man Version with similar off-court problems like Aaron but still he was a Lottery Draft Choice and did show potential last season.
Even Aaron Gordon, along with Michael Porter, got outplayed in Game 7 of their last series
Considering his small contract and potential (giving that he was a lottery choice), if he get his head together and work his butt off - who knows
What other available bigs (contract-wise, trade-wise) this off-season, since the Lakers need effective bigs - what other choices are out there that will keep us below the 2nd CAP level |

That's is all that he needed to do
How many legitimate bigs are effective in the post in today's NBA game, hey KAT isn't and doesn't want to be effective in the paint. With AD and LBJ (even Rui), he isn't going to get many opportunities in the paint
Last season, when the Lakers played with pace and movement, they were effective (albeit limited games) and came out with surprising wins.
How many Lakers were effective 3pt shooters, even Rui's effectiveness dropped during the playoffs.
Hayes' job is to be a legitimate lob threat, play with energy, be a rim protecter, get rebounds, set great screens and constant movement on offense. |

Blake Lively is Ryan Reynolds' hot, actress wife. Dereck Lively is the Mavs center.
Calling Jaxson Hayes a poor man's Dereck Lively is an insult to Dereck Lively and poor men.

Stats and Physical Attributes are similar and Hayes was a Lottery Draft Pick
He has potential, just like Aaron Gordon was a few years ago
Realistically, which player(s) would be better that would fit under the 2nd Apron
Lively is first an energy player that is thriving because Kyrie/Luka are legitimate outside shooters
Hayes was/will always be coming off the bench playing with a ball dominant LBJ, along with playing with AD who will/should always be in the paint |

I think OP is right. Hayes can be lively and Wood can be like Portis, can Reddick scheme it out tho?

| Hayes does play the similar game as Lively. difference was, Lively was given rotational play time from the get go. so he was able to improve his overall game during regular season. Hayes did not have that opportunity. |

This is a very questionable comparison. Yes, Aaron Gordon has improved considerably as his career has progressed but Aaron Gordon was never a 3rd string player like Hayes, not even in Orlando. By his 4th year in ORL Gordon was averaging 17pts 8reb on 34% 3pt shooting in 33 mpg. The issue with AG has always been the sky-high expectations due his draft position (#4 at only age 19) combined with the huge hype of his elite athleticism |

Hayes was drafted 8th and was a starting forward for the Pelicans
There are countless players that were never drafted that has achieved a great deal if they will put in the work and has a "Motor" to be a Dawg on the floor
Aaron Gordon was considered a project in progress, but amazingly enough (LOL) - he got better when he started playing with Jokic - most players will get better. Plus the Nuggets are in a market where the scrutiny was far less than the Lakers and they have continuity with their current roster to build upon.
My only point is that Hayes inherently was highly considered, played on a bad team (Pelicans, when he was there) and was considered the 2nd option behind CWood to play the 5. Just as P.J. Washington and Gafford have improved their play when playing for a legitimate title-contending team based on movement with great passers such as Luka (and at times Kyrie) - things can change very fast.
My only point is that Hayes has shown legitimate glimpses that indicates he should be given additional opportunities to prove his value. Does he have flaws, yes.
Still waiting to see what are the other legitimate options that would deserve opportunities before Hayes |
