Jaxson Hayes feels he improved this season

After the Los Angeles Lakers landed Luka Doncic in that stunning early February trade, Jaxson Hayes was their only true center who was on a standard contract. While he often made a concerted effort to help them out, his limitations were clear, and they were usually at a disadvantage in the middle.

He averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 19.5 minutes a game during the regular season, and he provided Doncic with a lob threat. However, in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he was practically invisible, as he played just 7.8 minutes a game throughout the series.

Once it was over, he did say that he felt he improved this season.
