Related Topics: Layperson, Jake Layman

Jake Layman showed flashes of being a stud for Portland.

Minutes were a little more open for Layman, who earned them over the course of the season.

He played 37+ minutes against the Pelicans, and had seven other games above 10 minutes. That means almost a fourth of Layman’s games played (35) came with legit playing time.

Lay-mania caught wind in November. As the Warriors and Blazers squared off in one of Portland’s eight losses to them this season, Layman rose up against one of the league’s best.

The former Terp went 6-8 on field goals with a scorching 5-7 from three-point range.
