Jay Huff is a significant addition for the Pacers after his impressive performance in the G League and successful shooting season with the Grizzlies. The front office believes he can replicate the shot-blocking and spacing provided by Myles Turner.

Jay Huff was traded to the Indiana Pacers after a strong performance with the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging just under seven points and demonstrating solid defensive metrics.

Jay Huff stepped up significantly in the victory over the Jazz, scoring 15 points, with a highlight performance in the third quarter. His ability to capitalize on his increased role is crucial following Brandon Clarke's injury.

Jay Huff, standing at 7-1, became a focal point during Miles McBride's highlight-reel dunk, which showcased McBride's athleticism as he soared over Huff. This moment not only electrified the crowd but also highlighted the challenges defenders like Huff face against agile players in the league.

Jay Huff has emerged as a backup center with the Memphis Grizzlies, showcasing his potential as a floor-spacing player capable of contributing in transition. His performance in a 35-game sample this season has bolstered his value in a redraft scenario, suggesting he could have been a better pick for the Rockets at No. 23 in 2021. After a stint with the Rockets during the Summer League, he signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets before finding a more permanent role with the Grizzlies.
