    Jake Layman wants to be "Bruce Bowen on defense and Gordan Hayward on offense" nice goals.

    The draft was supposed to start at 4:00 Pacific Time, 5 minutes per pick. I came on board on Pick #25 at 7:23 pm. Did the draft start at 5:20?

    Jake Layman is a guy I liked early on in the draft process. Not a high upside guy, but has great role player potential.

    Olshey has had good luck with players whose last name starts with L.

    "Layman has many of the qualities coveted by NBA teams with his size, shooting, and terrific athletic ability. When he's playing with the type of confidence and aggressiveness we saw in the last two months of the season, he looks every bit the part of a first round pick. Improving his toughness and mental approach will cement his chances of carving out a long career, but athletic, shooting combo forwards in his mold are all the rage in today's NBA, and he'll get plenty of chances to find his niche."

    The more I read about this Layman feller, the more he sounds like another white guy who was picked in the 2nd round... Chandler Parsons.

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

    Cuz he's white? Layman sounds more like Chandler Parsons if we have to compare him to a white guy.

    Does GPII go undrafted? If so, sign him to the summer league ASAP! Only 10 more picks.
