This is ridiculous man...

Jaxson Hayes might be a rookie but he rebounds like a grown man

This is that big boy rebounding
I remember when some people (not even on this board, just in general) were worried about Jax as a rebounder because he only averaged 5 boards a game at college. The general response was that he needs to add muscle, gain more experience, and besides, Texas' scheme didn't have him hunting boards often.
This has turned out to be largely true: as he's gained more experience and the game has slowed down for him, his rebounding has improved. Once he starts putting on some muscle it'll only get better.
Basketball.
His defense is still hit and miss, obviously, but it's not as woeful as some people like to make out. He can't defend complex multi-action plays and he still struggles in the pick and roll. He's fine in one on one assignments and in drop coverage schemes. He's 19 years old and half the board said he was a redshirt.
Be positive.
We should be blowing this team out
And now Doris Burke is praising Jax's defense and highlighting a lot of his positives on that end.
Would ya look at that
Ingram missed Jax wide open on that roll. Jax had his hand up calling for it. That's a high level pass though, feathering in the lob over the defender, so it would have been good to see it.
Great ball movement, 2 dunks and 2 more NY TO's. This team is rolling, put this garbage team away so the starters can get some rest in the 4th.
Please trade Okafor ASAP.
End of the 3rd, we're up 93-84
Come on guys. Gotta get this one because next game is against Boston and that's gonna be a real tough one to win. If we are still serious about trying to make a run, we've got to clean up games like this.
God help us if Favors is injured and we have to play Oak more minutes next week.
Hayes to the line again. He's a 66% FT shooter but he's only 1-5 tonight going into this.
He makes them both, taking him to 3-7.
Totally unnecessary swipe from Lonzo. Ntilikina had left his feet 8 feet from the basket, he was going to be forced into either a scoop shot or a floater because there was no dump off pass available, and Jax had great position in front of him. No need to just swipe the arm there.
Lonzo needs to be banned from taking off the dribble 20 foot jumpers. He's god awful at them, and they're not great shots in the first place.
Hayes up to 17pts and has 3 blocks. His career high is 19pts.
surely taj gibson would be a cheap get for us.
Hayes has 18/9.
His first career 20/10 night is on the horizon with 8 minutes left in the game.
If you took all our guys who are out for injury, they make up a pretty reasonable starting 5
Jrue/Kenrich/Miller/Zion/Favors
