@LSH_lakeshow: "Luka Doncic has changed Jaxson Hayes life no joke

With opposing teams so focused on Luka, they think the ball is always going to him so Jax fakes the pass to him and attacks the rim for a wide open easy dunk

Very very high IQ, I'm sure JJ Redick is loving this new Hayes for the Lakers"

@Klutch_23: "Even when Luka Dončić shoots miserably from the field, he’s still BY FAR the most impactful player on the floor.

When he’s on the court, EVERYONE plays better. He’s a commander of a unit and dictates everything — everyone gets wide open shots at the rim or from three."
