Player profile:

  • Height/weight: 6-foot-9, 209 pounds

  • 2015-16 stats: 11.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.1 APG

Chad Ford's Big Board ranking -- No. 48: "His stroke is pure and it looked terrific in the workouts. However, his calling card in the NBA might be his defense. Layman's agility allows him to guard both 3s and 4s. He not only can pick up steals, but he's a solid shot-blocker as well." More (Insider)
