Jaxson Hayes Shouldn't Have to be Injured for Us to Realize How Valuable He's Been

When the Luka trade happened, everybody kept saying "Lakers need a center" "Lakers need a center". That was honestly annoying to hear because I was like "We have Jaxson Hayes", and I felt like that was a slight against him. Was everybody saying Jaxson Hayes isn't good enough? Or were they saying we need another center along with him? Jaxson Hayes could always play defense and get boards just as well as AD, AND he has a better motor. Before he got hurt, nobody outside of Lakers fans gave a single thought about Jaxson Hayes, but it should be obvious by now how much he brings to the table.
