Jake Layman invited to Celtics training camp...

Can we call him Jake the Snake?

Cuz that would be cool

NO!

Ugh. More bench trash.

Jake The Snake it is!

I heard they signed him because his advanced stats are actually really good.

But I don’t know about that stuff so much.

I wish someone could just explain it to me.

In layman’s terms.

😁

I think you were being funny (if you weren't it's still funny) and you deserve a TP.

He’s a camp body. That said, I think the write up on him is a little harsh.  He wasn’t bad his last year in Portland — .594 TS% on 6 attempts per game as a rotation player/half-time starter at Age 24 for a playoff team.

It went downhill for him in Minnesota, but maybe a change of scenery could help.  I don’t mind bringing him in to compete for one of the last two spots.  People wanted vets, and here’s a guy with 6 seasons, a few hundred games, and 3k minutes.  It’s not some G-Leaguer.

Yeah, he's worth a look.

I'll give him another TP.  It cracked me up too.  I love posts like that.

I think we could and have, done worse than Layman as an energy player off the deep bench. Average defensive player and a below average offensive player.

Would be sick if he rocked the hair & mo combo that Jake the Snake did.

People want vets that should actually be in the league, not a scrub that has no business on a team.  If the choice is between Layman and Ryan, I'd take Ryan, as he at least has a chance to do something.  Everyone knows Layman blows.
