HAYES/KLEBER OR KLEBER/HAYES

JAXSON HAYES & MAXI KLEBER SHOULD BELAKERS CENTER ROTATION FROM NOW ONIt's becoming clearer each game that the Lakers need to move on from Deandre Ayton because he simply cannot be trusted to be our starting center.It's time for JJ Redick to seriously consider benching Ayton… https://t.co/KSsCz78UNe pic.twitter.com/ADVVER9V2n— LakerTom (@LakerTom) March 4, 2026

The Lakers went into last postseason with Jaxson Hayes as their best center option and it's possible the same thing happens again this year.

Jaxson Hayes’ Length + Mobility really shows up when he has to Defend the Perimeter.

Especially helpful in these Modified Zone schemes.

He can Cover and Man so much ground. pic.twitter.com/lhCAHnUcLb

1. BENCH DEANDRE AYTON
2. START JAXSON HAYES
3. MAKE MAXI KLEBER BACKUP

Great post!

Jaxson's recent play has earned the starting role. He has greatly improved from last season and has been winning his minutes every time he plays.

Kleber's veteran savvy and experience with Luka… https://t.co/kLoPit1kKJ
