    Well..he might not play but he's obviously shown something. Intriguing..unless we plan on dumping Hayes soon..rather intriguing thought too.

    like getting a look, and i'm glad for him to be able to play, period. hoping fans don't freak out that he doesn't look great due to rust and lack of familiarity with system and teammates.

    Immediately contributed. Also ran back in transition as fast as his legs would take him.

    Considering he hasn't played in an eternity and hasn't even had a practice with the team, solid first showing.

    First Laker to do so all season. He's clearly an outsider.

    Yeah I thought he looked better than expected after not playing in an actual NBA game in a long time. He’s massively needed even if he were just 6 fouls from a 7-footer with long arms, if he’s any better than that it’s a bonus right now.

    I thought he had a pretty good game last night. Had some blocks and good energy. We need more spark plugs off the bench. Dlo was supposed to be that but he’s just a plug with no spark.

    In only 10 minutes. Looks like a good 3rd string/ situational backup. That's without getting the dust off from not playing in a year and minimal practice reps with our squad.

    Love how hard he's running back up the floor. But please never take a 3 again.

    As well as Hayes has played under Redick … first looks at Koloko indicate he can offer much of the same vertical game while being a better defender at the rim and on the perimeter and having 10 more lbs in his “chest” pocket ;) on Jaxson.

    He continues to be solid.
