Jaxson Hayes

Hayes has been upgraded from probable to available and will serve as Anthony Davis' backup again. There isn't much value in rostering Hayes under these circumstances.

Vando is still recovering from surgery on both of his feet during the offseason, which means that Jaxson Hayes will be the primary reserve post player, since Christian Wood is still sidelined due to a knee surgery. Hayes isn't a player to consider drafting in any format.
