The Los Angeles Lakers have a better idea of what its depth at center will look like with Jaxson Hayes expected to return for another season.

The Lakers will bring back the free-agent center after agreeing to a one-year contract for him to return to the team.

Hayes, the No. 62 free agent on CBS Sports' board, played in 56 games and started 35. In those appearances, Hayes averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. However, Hayes' playing time diminished a bit in the playoffs, and he did not play at all in Game 5 of the team's first-round series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
