Jake Layman hasn't exactly been a fan-favorite as a senior. Eleven games into the season, his points, shots, and field goals per game are the lowest they've been since his freshman year.
But just using those stats is too simplistic of a way to evaluate his performance.
Layman's had to adjust to a different role in 2015. Last year, the forward was counted upon to be the team's second option when Dez Wells went out for four weeks with a broken wrist. When Wells came back, Layman was still needed as the team's third scorer.
After Melo Trimble, Wells and Layman, there was a steep drop in Maryland's scoring last season.
