Pacers Weigh Huff vs Potter for Future

Jay Huffs rookie year with the Indiana Pacers was filled with highs and lows. He played in all 82 games, averaging 9.5 points, 4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game, shooting nearly 48% from the field and 32% from three. Huff showed potential, leading the league in blocks when other big men were injured, and even scored a career-high 29 points against the Wizards. However, his inconsistent shooting and inability to match the teams fast pace raised questions about his fit. With his salary increasing to $2.6 million next year, the Pacers may consider him expendable. Micah Potter, who averaged 9.7 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 47 games, is a more consistent offensive option and a better rebounder, with a cheaper team option of $2.8 million. As the offseason approaches, the Pacers are likely to rely on Potter and potentially draft another big man, while exploring trade options for Huff to create a tighter rotation.
