VIDEO: Jaxson Hayes Throws Down Another Highlight Reel Dunk at Summer League
By Sean Facey
Jaxson Hayes is really showing out at NBA Summer League. The 19-year-old No. 8 overall draft pick threw down yet another highlight jam for the New Orleans Pelicans in their quarterfinal matchup against the Miami Heat, and it was enough to get high-flying teammate Zion Williamson excited-- no small feat, to be sure.

Hayes has overshadowed Zion at Summer League, as the Duke product has been forced to the sideline with a knee injury. He's playing with ferocity and throwing down dunks that demand repeat viewings.

Yep.
It's terrifying to imagine what Hayes and Williamson might be able to do when they're out on the court together and really meshing together. Williamson already has his own reputation for showing no mercy at the rim; hopefully we'll get to see the two of them dominating together in the near future.
