- As the 2019-20 NBA season approaches, the burning question that is tormenting the prefrontal cortices of everyone's minds is this: what team is Jake "Lake Jayman" Layman playing for these days?
Okay, fine, maybe not everyone is asking that. In fact, maybe no one is asking that. But I am. Because it turns out that while I was assembling this vid and thus spending an inordinate amount of brain power on Layman, I realized that I don't know his current status. All I know is that I'm pretty sure he's not in Portland anymore, and that he's definitely not on the Bucks.
And yes, before you ask, I DID try putting my head inside my ludicrously overclocked microwave (which is actually nestled inside a second, industrial-sized and also mondo-overclocked microwave), setting the timer to ten minutes, and hoping the radiation would trigger some deeply-buried insights about The Turtle. It didn't work. Good news is, the Hot Pocket I had beside my head (before you laugh, running these babies costs a lot of electricity so I have to be efficient) ended up perfectly cooked, but I'm too nauseated to eat it. Why must God torment me so? Also, what are the symptoms of radiation sickness?
Before I give up and consult the Googs for answers, I'm going to make a list of Layman's most likely destinations, and then see if I was right. I bet I will be. Because somewhere deep in my mind, unreachable by even the harshest microwaves technology has to offer, is the knowledge of his new basketball home.
Team One: Utah Jazz
This makes a ton of sense because they're still a little salty about being spurned by Gordon Hayward, and Layman is the closest comp for Hayward in the league right now as long as you ignore the "quality" part of the equation. Joe Ingles is great, but he can't dunk like Hayward, and Grayson Allen is great too, but he's been tripping people non-stop since he got to Salt Lake City. Those dudes cannot fully replace what Hayward brought to the franchise for so many years. And not only does the front office yearn for another Hayward, but the fanbase does as well. Layman has a certain attribute that Jazz fans would find very soothing and reassuring. Also, people keep saying that the Jazz are a darkhorse candidate to make the Finals out of the West and there'd be no reason for people to say that unless the Jazz made some real impact moves in the offseason (like signing Layman to a cheapo 2-year deal).
Team Two: San Antonio Spurs
In the same way that the Jazz need a Hayward replacement, the Spurs need a Davis Bertans replacement. They traded Bertans away to make space for Marcus Morris (LOL), who then reneged on the agreement to sign in order to sign with the Knicks instead (double LOL). For some reason the NBA, despite all this, won't let them un-trade Bertans, and now they're stuck. The fact that Daulton Hommes is on their training camp roster kind of indicates that Layman is not, but it's possible that they wanted both Bertans 0.8 (Layman) and Bertans 0.3.2-alpha (Hommes).
Team Three: China
China is less a "team" and more a "global superpower", but they represent (along with Europe) what happens to NBA players who are kind of okay but not really okay enough to justify any more development time being spent on them. I don't view Layman as that kind of player, but it's within the realm of possibility that when I type "Jake Layman" into the Googs it will respond with "Jake Layman is an American basketball player who currently plays for the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association". If that's the case, I take full responsibility, because it's my fault that I didn't upload this video in time for NBA GM's to see it and be convinced that they should at least offer him a training camp deal.
Team Four: Minnesota Timberwolves
Remember when the Minnesota franchise was comprised of basically all white players? And I'm not talking about the Minneapolis Lakers days, I'm talking about recent history. Kevin Love, Robbie Hummel, Chase Budinger. Basically, I'm saying the Timberwolves signed Layman because he's white and no other reason. Straight up.
Team Five: Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers are the type of team who need to sign a bunch of randoms and hope one of them becomes a 20 ppg scorer. Layman could be that random! He could be lighting up the scrimmages as we speak! He got a fair amount of burn with the Blazers, but he was never truly unleashed, as far as I can tell. Which means that there's a chance that if you give him 40 minutes per game and of lot of ball time, he could give you those 20 points. They might have thought the same thing with Nik Stauskas, but Layman is way better than that scrubust.
Moment of truth: I am, right now, lifing the veil of uncertainty by typing the words "Jake Layman" into the Googs. I hope one of these six possibilities shows up, otherwise I'm totally going back and editing this description to make me look smarter.

Jake layman is an elite cutter hes always getting the ball during back door cuts and wing cuts. Always makes sure he makes eye contact with the passer and finish very athletically. Another off ball offensive skill he has is positioning himself for the offensive rebound. Hes so good at that. Theres a reason he gets a lot of tip slams. Pure hustle guy i love his game.
Who’s here after dunk on Tacko?
Yesssir
These are the most effortless looking dunks I’ve ever seen
2:51 weak?
3:13 3:19 is this effortless?
Jake "Supercuts" Layman!
Back door cut every time
That's a smart thing to do
He's trying to find his game
MeItay _ never said it wasn’t
He perfected it
Athletic white guys are so fun to watch
Ikr
@@jojo9766 what about athletic black guys though.?
@@BopCentral808 it’s even better
@@jojo9766 🤎🖤
@@BopCentral808 90% black people are athletic, probably just 10% of white people are athletic that's why
Did anyone noticed how he gets a lot higher when taking fewer steps ? Also how effortessly he jumps. Kinda crazy dude, like Caruso but with less talent and swag.
Lol He's more fluid than Caruso despite of being 6'9 just the better straight line and the better vertical athlete..But Caruso is way stronger than him..Jack just gets excellent lift effortlessly when he jumps off 1 foot with few steps which means he's pretty explosive..Imagine if Luka Doncic had this kinda athleticism

That Blazers color commentator is the worst. I know the standard is low for local homers, but he makes Stacey King sound like Mike Fratello.
Love from Portland ❤️
Don’t forget he can shoot the lights out
Feels like hes floating in the air how you dare.
Its a weird skill to have, but Jake layman was such a cutter
Thank you!!! Now nurkic and Hezonja please!
I miss you
I prefer these dunks over any windmill dunk
Goes to show if you move off the ball you will get easy buckets.
Is the blazers play by play guy the old Seattle SuperSonics announcer from the Payton/Kemp days? Sounds just like him! Rain man!
Yes. Kevin Callabro
Sorry to tell you dtb, grayson allen doesn't play for the jazz anymore
Thank you
His game reminds me of yellow light Gerald Green, but I would like him to be a shorter Klay Thompson.
He is 6'9!
@@zwhnekrh I keep forgetting Klay's listed height is one of those exaggerations, so I would like him to be a Klay Thompson (3,D,Slash).
@@blackmanwhitesuit I think Clay is listed at 6'7 on shoes, seems accurate to me!
