What a surprise, right? When an X-Factor, microwave scorer like Jake Layman has it going from three-point range, his team more likely wins. The Portland Trail Blazers are 13-4 when Layman shoots above .300 from deep and 11-12 when he shoots below.
But you may be shocked to know just how well Layman has shot in wins versus losses. Per Basketball-Reference, the Turtle shoots .387 from beyond the arc during Trail Blazers’ victories and only .217 from that range in defeat.
Layman has spoke this season about maintaining an aggressive mindset regardless of his playing time and role for this club, and that may also account for this difference in percentage.
