Event Draft Day 2016: Rumors and Trades - 2nd Round

[VanillaGorilla]

He's going to be used as a SF. How much bulk does he need?

Most people here seem to think he'll be a stretch PF. I don't think he can be a good PF because of poor defense and rebounding but I also don't think he's athletic enough to be a SF.

 

[riverman]

Where are those options?

Portland needs someone with some attitude. I don't see any "better" fits for backup PG than GPII.


Layman isn't quick enough to guard the SF in the NBA. I think his only shot of sticking is becoming a small ball 4.

I haven't seen Layman play much at all..just from what I watched on youtube tonight he's actually very quick and recovers on defense really well. You like Payton...that's fine..I don't. I think Layman is the better choice

I call horse shit on payton having character issues.

I hope you're right....he's been talked up by a lot of folks..just not anyone I know. He can afford a good agent, that's for sure

Another one talking about paytons leadership growth and coach tinkle giving him props

He has on and off the court issues and an attitude problem according to people who've spent time around him..I've seen him a few times at the gym there but don't really know the kid..second hand info from my son's classmates up there..

Sounds like another entitled douche with a famous father. Klay Thompson.

Perhaps vagina would work. Or perhaps hairy vagina would work better.

only with pics.

 

[riverman]

only with pics that don't look like Willie Nelson.

Going into the draft I had extremely low expectations.

But I was hoping we'd get a pick in the 20s or early 30s to land Georgios Papagiannis - who skyrocketed to the lotto.

I like Layman as insurance if/when Mo Harkless bolts. Jake has a skillset thst fits in really well with the Stotts system.

Mo Harkless can't bolt. He's restricted.

Seems like Rockets wanted Payton all along, ballsy move by Morey. It was one that paid off, but not a smart one IMO.

I sure hope we have a good record in 2018-19, or else we're giving a high 2nd rounder.

Wow. Besides the $1.2M, we paid the better of the Lakers' or Wolves' 2019 2nd round picks. Not our own 2nd round pick. At least one of those teams will suck, so the pick will be early in the 2nd round. To get this year's mid-round pick.

I suppose enough so that he's not targeted as a prime post-up opportunity.

Yeah that's a dumb move. Olshey must really see something in the guy.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Hell no


Shit well there goes that. We were talking about how Houston was in play for drafting Payton since he fills a defensive need for them, and they like Harden handling the ball. Good fit for Payton.

Pat Bev replacement?

wore black and red to the work out, no wonder neil picked him.

47. Orlando Magic (traded to Portland Trail Blazers)
Pick: Jake Layman, forward, Maryland
Grade: C-
Analysis: As a pure-shooting, athletically gifted 6-foot-9 wing, Layman fits the bill in Portland. But he lacks consistency and versatility, and didn't make much of an offensive impact during his time at Maryland.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Fox Sports:
Portland Trailblazers
Round 1: N/A
Round 2: Jake Layman, SF, Maryland (47) (*via Orlando)
Grade: D





The Blazers had just one pick, and used it on a guy who probably won't be in the NBA for very long.





Yes, Layman was a projected first-round pick coming into the year. But after watching him against elite talent at the Nike Skills Academy last summer (and in the Big Ten this year), I think he might want to consider getting his passport updated.





Sacramento Kings

 

[Mediocre Man]

While the jury is obviously still out on this kid, how can you give a team with no picks a D when they got a pick and picked someone at value
