New Orleans Pelicans’ Player Grades: Jaxson Hayes

Jaxson Hayes is one of the New Orleans Pelicans’ most intriguing young stars and has given the team plenty of reason to be excited.

Hayes is just a 19-year-old rookie, so it is not surprising that his season has been up and down.

He’s shown flashes of his potential with huge blocks and dunks, but he has also shown some areas he needs to improve, particularly on the defensive end.

Most people will either remember Hayes’ rookie season for its highlight-reel dunks or his NSFW rant after he didn’t make the Rising Stars Challenge.
