Jake Layman didn’t see the floor a whole lot for the Portland Trail Blazers as a rookie last season.
However, the former Maryland star appears to have improved his game quite a bit.
In seven games in the Las Vegas Summer League this month, Layman averaged 12.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 28.1 minutes-per-game. He also shot 78.6 percent from the free throw line.
Layman ended up scoring in double figures in five of those contests. In Monday’s Summer League title game loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Layman scored 21 points (8-of-19 shooting) and grabbed seven rebounds while connecting on five of his eight attempts from beyond the arc.
