Former Maryland forward Jake Layman had an inefficient Summer League for the Trail Blazers

Jake Layman was never Maryland basketball’s go-to scorer, but he was almost always efficient. In his senior year in College Park, the 6’9 forward scored 11.6 points on 50 percent shooting from the field.

Unfortunately, that has not yet translated to the NBA stage during Layman's five game stint in the Las Vegas Summer League.

In five games, Layman averaged eight points a game but shot 35 percent (14-of-40) from the field and a miserable 18.2 percent (4-of-22) from beyond the arc.

Before his poor shooting performance, the Wrentham, Mass. native announced his Summe League presence with a highlight-reel dunk over 6’10 big Marquese Chriss.
