Jaxson Hayes, a 6'11" Freshman from Cincinnati Moeller may be going to the NBA draft. He is averaging 10.3 pts., 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. Obi is averaging 14.4 pts., 5.6 rebounds, 0.8 blocks but is shooting 50% from three point range! I hope he stays at least one more year!

Right now Hayes is projected as a first round pick, and Obi not a pick. Of course things can change the way Obi has improved. Hayes has put up those numbers against some tough opponents, so not comparable to Obi's stats. Hayes, two inches taller, is a darn good defender and has blocked about three time the shots of Obi.
