Hayes began the naturalization process back in October and told reporters it was important because it will help him build rapport with Lakers star Luka Doncic – born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma but currently on part-time roster status with Lakers before becoming unrestricted free agent next summer.

Deandre Ayton

Deandre Ayton emerged as one of the standout players at last year’s draft and could emerge as a standout at NBA level. He has the potential to be both an effective center and scoring threat from outside.

At present though, Ayton must continue working on his game; learning to deal with media attention while developing himself properly while strengthening defensively in order to create impact in the post area is essential for his future success.

Ayton recorded two points in heavy minutes, but failed to have the impact many were anticipating. Going against Rockets big man Alperen Sengun proved tough; although some positives could be found such as his energy and willingness to play in the paint; overall he must improve against bigger opponents as well as improve his defense overall.

The Lakers started strong, shooting 62% from the field and leading 46-27 at halftime with 62% field goal shooting and 77 first-half points – their most in any quarter this season. New Orleans made some strides during the third quarter but could never catch up to Los Angeles, leading by as little as one point until LeBron James dunked and hit a three to put them up 97-90 with just over three minutes remaining in regulation play.
