Just over two weeks after being selected 47th overall in the 2016 NBA Draft, King Philip graduate and former Hockomock League MVP and HockomockSports.com Player of the Year Jake Layman made his debut for the Portland Trail Blazers at the Cox Pavillion in Las Vegas in NBA Summer League play.
Layman brought the crowd to its feet late in the fourth quarter. The Maryland alum forced a turnover against the Phoenix Suns, pushed the ball ahead and threw down an emphatic dunk – all well being hacked by rookie Marquese Chriss, the eighth overall pick in the draft – for an and-one.
In nearly 28 minutes of play, Layman finished with five points, six rebounds, an assist and a steal. Phoenix won the game 86-73.
