The NBA is not lacking in talent, many talented players have fallen due to injury, and some people have bad deeds, gradually fading out of the outside world's vision, and playing a good hand of cards is sparse.
According to the US media "TMZ", Pelicans player Hayes was charged with 12 misdemeanors by the los Angeles local prosecutor's office for allegedly committing domestic violence against his girlfriend in July last year and having a physical conflict with the police.
The 21-year-old Hayes is the No. 8 pick in the first round of 2019, and after the Pelicans selected him, they once regarded him as the team's interior future, giving him the opportunity to start many times, but Hayes failed to live up to management expectations, and his self-control was very poor and vulnerable to negative emotions.
At the end of July last year, the local police in Los Angeles were sent to Hayes's residence over family disputes, but Hayes tried to prevent the police from entering his residence, and the two sides then quarreled, which led to a fierce physical conflict, so that the police had to use a Taser (stun gun) to put Hayes down.
Afterwards, both Hayes and a police officer were taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries. In this regard, the NBA official did not issue a statement, and Hayes, who was caught in the scandal, was interviewed, saying that he only focused on basketball and people who cared, and tried not to think negative things.
The cause of this incident is that Hayes clashed with his girlfriend, and the Los Angeles Police Protection League has criticized him many times, but Hayes still persists. As a result, the Los Angeles Prosecutor's Office filed Hayes with charges including bodily harm (domestic violence-related), property destruction, violence, and assault on police officers.
That's 12 counts against a third-year rookie, not only risking arrest, but also potentially ruining his career, after all, most NBA teams don't want to see a thorn.
