    He reminds me a bit of young Batum, but with a post game Nic never had.

    Need to see Patty, Jake, and MyLe on the floor together. Maybe with Chandler Parsons too. Blazer faithful would love that group.

    Luke Babbitt was a lottery pick and I don't think Layman will ever be as good as Babbitt. I'm fully alright with being wrong though, in fact, I would think it was awesome if I end up being wrong.

    Claver did everything well except shoot. Per VG, Layman does nothing well except shoot. His videos show a very smooth stroke.

    I guess I just don't see the comparison.

    You should put "official press release" in the title.

    You could very well be right, but are you sure you are not basing it on where he was drafted and not his actual ability? He seems to move better than Babbitt.
