The 25-year-old Layman was a second-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, who has played all three of his NBA seasons with Portland. He averaged 7.6 points per game last season.
Portland will be bringing on a lot of forwards and big men when free agency deals become official, which resulted in Layman being traded. The Timberwolves will get a player who can come off the bench and stretch the floor for the team.
