12 Days of Centers - Jay Huff

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Centers focuses on the most intriguing option already in the building: Jay Huff. Of all the bigs currently on the roster, Huff has shown the most tangible promise this season — anchoring the paint, leading the league in blocks, and adding a legitimate stretch element with his three-point shooting. Brad and Ryan break down why Huff’s skill set fits seamlessly with the Pacers style: rim protection on one end, floor spacing on the other, and the ability to thrive in a fast, read-and-react offense. Factor in his extremely team-friendly contract, and Huff’s value becomes even more compelling. If his recent stretch of play over the last 10 games is real — and sustainable with higher minutes — the conversation may shift from stopgap option to legitimate starting center on a title-contending team.
