A 'locked in' Jaxson Hayes helped the Pelicans win again without Zion and Ingram
Hayes scored 21 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter and overtime, of New Orleans' road win.

The article is about the great job that Jaxson Hayes did against OKC but this quote stood out to me. This is what team leaders say, not second year players who spent most of year one in the G-League (and saying it about a veteran with more time in the league)
“It’s a testament to how he’s been as a person,” said Trey Murphy, who scored 23 points. “Staying ready. Never really pouting. And just understanding whenever his name is called, he has to be ready. He was huge for us tonight. We wouldn’t have won it without him.”
