Freshman Team in 2002. During the next three years, he contributed to a resurgence in Kentucky basketball along with Keith Bogans

, Erik Daniels
and Kelenna Azubuike
. Over Hayes' sophomore, junior and senior seasons, Kentucky accumulated a record of 87–15 (.853), and earned final AP
rankings of 1st, 2nd and 7th respectively. During Hayes' senior season, the Kentucky athletics department promoted him as an All-American candidate, using the slogan "All He Does Is Win". Although Hayes was named the 2004 SEC defensive player of the year, he did not earn All-America honors.

.
but was signed by the Houston Rockets prior to the 2005–06 season. Hayes played in several preseason games before being cut. Hayes was then selected sixth in the 2005 NBA Development League
Draft by the Albuquerque Thunderbirds
. Hayes led the NBA D-League
in rebounding with 12.2 a game in his tenure with the Thunderbirds.
on January 20. On January 28, the Rockets announced they were signing Hayes for the rest of the season. Hayes earned a total of $231,390 for the season between the 10-day contract and the contract for the remainder of the year. He was later joined by former Kentucky teammate Keith Bogans
, who was traded by the Charlotte Bobcats
for Lonny Baxter
on February 9. The departure of Baxter created room in the depth chart for Hayes. Hayes was also temporarily joined by another Kentucky teammate, Gerald Fitch
, who was traded to the Rockets on February 23 but was assigned to the D-League
on March 7, 2006.
Hayes was quietly productive for the Rockets in his first season. He appeared in all 40 games after joining the team and averaged 13.4 minutes per game. Hayes was one of the most efficient defensive players in the league, ranking 3rd among rookies in rebounds per 48 minutes (16.1) and 14th in steals per 48 minutes (2.33). He also had an FG% of 52.6%, good for 11th highest in the league among players with at least 100 field goals attempted. On June 13, 2006 the Rockets decided to pick up the option year on his contract (which was worth $664,209), extending his stay with the Rockets through the 2006–07 season
.
His first official NBA start occurred November 4, 2006 against the Dallas Mavericks
. Fouling out after 17 minutes, he scored 2 points, had 3 rebounds, 2 steals.
As a starter in most of the Rockets' games for the 2006–07 season, Hayes was a significant contributor. The scope of his role on the team was limited to rebounding, defense, and acting as a decoy or setting screens on offense. The ball was very rarely in his hands on offense. Nevertheless, he has received praise from his coaches and has appeared on the leaderboard for several statistics in the NBA. He finished his second season in the NBA 12th in rebounds per minute and 34th in rebounds per game.
Several factors hindered Hayes' performance during the season. He hyperextended his left knee and was sidelined for two weeks. His stamina and durability over an 82 game season has been an issue as well; Hayes' style of play is more physically demanding than most. Finally, Hayes has become somewhat notorious for getting in foul trouble. He ended his second season with the 3rd most fouls per game and 7th most fouls per minute in the NBA.
Although not one of the league's premier players, in 2006 Hayes signed a shoe endorsement deal with Chinese athletic apparel company Li Ning
. The deal was valued at $5 million. On July 31, 2007 Hayes signed an incentive-laden contract with the Houston Rockets valued at $8 million over 4 years. In 2009, Hayes was named co-captain along with Shane Battier for the 2009–10 Houston Rockets
.
From 2003 to 2009, Hayes had the second highest defensive adjusted plus-minus
of all NBA players. Through December 25, 2009, Hayes had the fifth highest overall adjusted plus-minus for the 2009–10 NBA season
.
During the 2009–10 season, Hayes had to log his minutes as the starting center, replacing the injured Yao Ming
, who missed the entire season, after suffering a hairline fracture in his left foot.
On March 23, 2011, Hayes had his first career triple-double, dropping 13 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists in a 131–112 home victory over the Golden State Warriors
.
during the Rockets' playoff run in 2009
after injuries to starting center Yao Ming
and his backup Dikembe Mutombo
. Although his skills and style are most suited for interior play, he nearly always has to overcome a significant height disadvantage as he stands only 6'6". Hayes does this with his strength, positioning and determination. This allows him to rebound and score inside, even in the NBA where he is regularly matched up against players who are taller and/or more athletic.
Hayes is known to have a peculiar form on his shot. He delays the release on his jumpshots and free-throw attempts, which is referred to as having a "hitch". This could be seen most recently in a game against the Utah Jazz
in the 2007 NBA Playoffs
, where his unorthodox release drew lane violations from three players on a free-throw attempt.
Hayes has attributed his "nose for the ball" in part to his father's influence.
Hayes has professed an interest for singing, acting and poker.
