Vegas day three; Layman stars as Blazers roll

Jake Layman scored 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 3-pt., 1-1 FT), added four rebounds, two steals, and two blocked shots in just 20 minutes Sunday as the Portland Trailblazers kept the Atlanta Hawks 0-for-the-summer with a decisive 85-68 victory. Layman was the 47th pick overall in 2016. He has appeared in 70 NBA contests over the course of his first two seasons. The 6'9" forward has a nice combination of athletic ability and an improving shooting stroke. 

Jake. From Portland.

It is extremely difficult to make the Hoop Obsession daily All-Summer League team. With ten games per day, and only 12 spots on our daily "best of", many excellent performances go unmentioned. 

If we added a "second team" for Sunday's games, the players on it would include: Thomas Bryant, De'Anthony Melton, Jonathan Stark, Dorian Finney-Smith, Jonathan Isaac, Jordan Loyd, Rashad Vaughn, Justin Jackson, Keita Bates-Diop, Landry Nnoko, Diamond Stone, and Travis Trice.
