Jaxson Hayes has played two of the best games of his career for the New Orleans Pelicans in their last two and he is starting to turn heads.
Hayes probably had his best game as a professional against the Charlotte Hornets, notching 18 points, eight rebounds and six blocks in the win.
It was Hayes’ shot blocking that set the tone in the second half and made the difference as the Pels were able to hold on.
Hayes had 19/8/3 against Philadelphia in the previous game and is starting to show his immense talent more consistently since being re-inserted in the rotation after being benched.
