Jaxson was horrible at rebounding coming into the league. He’s improved by leaps and bounds in this department. Jax basketball IQ was even worse, probably due to being fairly new to the sport. As far as defensive positioning, when to set screens and shite like that there was definitely a lot to be desired.

He’s improved but to his point he still needs to find the rhythm of his game. I think Alvin offense was great for him. The structure kind of holds him back when’s he’s not getting any plays ran through him.

Willie steals Jax minutes because he’s a low maintenance smart(er) basketball player.

Jax needs be more of a focal point when on the floor with the second unit. Throw the ball to him in the paint and let him make a play. I also think he should be playing the four, but more importantly I think he needs to be on the floor.

Can you explain why he should play the 4? Tell me how I'm wrong here. To play the 4, Hayes would be paired with Val or Hernangomez. What would be the advantage of playing those pairs together?

You need reliable go-to moves to be a go-to guy, Jax has none of that.
