Jaxson Hayes' agents, Bill Duffy and Marlon Harrison of WME Basketball, finalized a contract with Lakers president Rob Pelinka on Thursday. Hayes emerged as the Lakers starting center last season and shot a career high 72.2% from the field and finished top-10 in field goal percentage allowed as contesting defender on layups and dunks among players to contest 250+ shots. Now backs up new Lakers big man Deandre Ayton.

He just need a bit more muscle and he can be lethal off that high screen pick and roll

I think he’s a great back up for Ayton. Not mad at this.

He was great with the lob game and it worked but then they just forgot about it. Hope they play him way more

🔥I love this. I really wanted him to come back. This is a low key good move. He can play the 4 sometimes with Ayton at the 5
