Im not saying Jakes hopeless moving forward, he can definitely work hard and improve. Shouldn't let him walk in my opinion. My point was he hasn't been a good defender thus far. Assuming the Blazers cant pull off any thing in terms of trades and all that and its another conservative type summer, I am ok with Zach as the Starting 4, and Jake as the 4 off the bench.
Nba players can get film on themselves in practice as well. As they go against other NBA players. It's not about habits or his stance. Jake Layman isn't physical enough to play even average NBA defense right now. He's a 'pretty player' on both ends. Layman reminds me a lot of chase budinger
