Jake Layman: the next Kevin Love in Minnesota? Let’s take a look at the facts as they factually exist in reality.
Shoots threes? Check.
Dunks? Check.
White? Check.
Rebounds? Layman had 2 of them in this game. CHECK!
Handsome? Check.
Franchise Player? Check. At least, it will be a check once he stops getting held down by the coaches and once Karl-Anthony Towns stops hogging the ball.
Minnesota has been looking for their next Kevin Love ever since they foolishly traded the real one to the Cavaliers for Andrew Wiggins. Did they think Wiggins was going to be the next Love? That would’ve been really optimistic. Some may claim that KAT is the next Love, but how can he be when he’s too busy being the next Kevin Garnett?
