Standing at 7 feet and carrying a 7-3 wingspan, Hayes was the second best shot blocker in college among other likely draft picks. If he could take care of his foul trouble(six fouls per 40 minutes), the uber talented 19-year-old is projected to be the top center to be drafted this year as the 11th overall pick.

One of his major highlights came during his team's fifth win of the season where he finished with 15 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, and started to believe in his potential.

“That’s when I first saw my name on the draft board,” Hayes said at the NBA Combine in Chicago. “One of my friends sent it to me. . . That was when I was like ‘I can definitely do this.’”

Jaxson made 74% of his free throws which is fairly decent for a big man in the NBA, and also possesses the ability to beat the opponent with his fluidity and quickness on the court and in the air near the rim.
