Timberwolves record when Jake Layman scores in double digits: 5-2 Timberwolves record when Jake Layman scores in single digits: 1-5 The conclusion is clear: the Timberwolves’ success is closely tied to Layman’s success. It cannot possibly be the other way around (where Layman’s success is tied to the Timberwolves’ success). Just don’t even let that…

Jake Layman 16 Points Full Highlights (11/13/2019)
Jake “Justin Timberjake” Layman needs to somehow force his teammates to cater to his preferred playstyle. What is that preferred playstyle, you tremblingly ask while cowering before the intellectual might and intimidating good looks of Highlight God DownToBuck? Backdoor cuts. Backdoor cuts for days. Backdoor cuts for nights. Last year, my Jake Layman dunkilation was…

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…

As the 2019-20 NBA season approaches, the burning question that is tormenting the prefrontal cortices of everyone’s minds is this: what team is Jake “Lake Jayman” Layman playing for these days? Okay, fine, maybe not everyone is asking that. In fact, maybe no one is asking that. But I am. Because it turns out that…

Jake Layman ends the season 50th in total dunks made, tied with Pascal Siakam and Kyle Kuzma. That’s pretty good! Looking at the people above him in the list, it’s a lot of bigs who should be getting more dunks, with only a few other small forwards among the names. And most of those players…

True NBA fans will note the similarities this game by Jake Layman has to Layman’s NBA debut, which was a 17-point explosion against the Warriors. That game was played in garbage time, with Layman getting a bunch of buckets against whatever scrubs inhabited the Warriors’ bench back then. This time around, it was Layman turning…

There are a lot of candidates for the MIP Improved Player award this season, but one name that I haven’t heard yet in the convo: Jake Layman. His raw stats might not be as impressive at first glance as some of these other dudes, but that’s a matter of looking at things the wrong way….

Another highlight video ruined by “Players Only baby!”. Not to make you sad or anything, but imagine how good this video would’ve been with Lamar Hurd exclaiming “Fear the Turtle!” as Jake “Matchup Nightmare” Layman scored bucket after bucket. He probably would’ve made some puns involving cuts and back-doors and combinations thereof. Instead, we got…

I’ve mentioned it before, but it bears repeating now that the situation has grown extremely dire: while it’s great that Jake “Timberjake” Layman is emerging as a good basketball player after two years of complete, total, bottom-of-the-barrel scrubdom, it’s not so great that his minutes directly come at the expense of Nik Stauskas’ minutes. Stauskas…

Lurking in the nighttime shadows in the upscale neighborhood, Jake Layman tried to pick the lock as quietly as he was able. Even if the house he was targeting didn’t have the most aware of residents, the inhabitants of nearby houses were likely to be hyper-vigilant about possible crimes in the area. So Jake took…
