Give Jaxson Hayes another assist on his career stats ... the Lakers center was seen handing out cash to kids in LA on Thursday night!!!
The 23-year-old performed the sweet gesture while outside of a Louis Vuitton event on Rodeo Drive ... after some tykes who were selling candy bars asked him for his business.
Hayes didn't want any of their chocolate -- but he decided to kick some money their way regardless.
Check out the video ... Hayes got one of the boys' numbers and then sent what appeared to be a Venmo.
