Jaxson Hayes showcased his three-point shooting ability during a recent Lakers win over the Wizards, making his third 3-pointer of the season. Despite his potential to stretch the floor, the Lakers prioritize his rim protection and rebounding, with coach JJ Redick emphasizing the importance of putting pressure on the rim. Both Hayes and Deandre Ayton have excelled in their roles, providing the Lakers with effective big man play, in contrast to last season’s struggles. Hayes remains focused on team needs but is ready to shoot if open from beyond the arc.
