Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Jay Huff was born in August of 1998 in Durham, North Carolina. The 7-1 center is the son of Mike and Kathy Huff, two former college basketball players. His father played for Pacific Lutheran University while his mother played for West Virginia. Huff attended Voyager Academy and became the all-time leading scorer in school history. Huff led his team to the state title game, winning most valuable player honors. He averaged 16.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists during his senior season. He then committed to the University of Virginia where he redshirted his freshman season. Through his first two collegiate seasons, Huff battled injury and only averaged 4.4 points. During his junior year, Huff averaged 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and two blocks per game, including a game in which he recorded 10 blocks against Duke. Huff came back for his senior season and averaged 13.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. He then went undrafted but joined the Washington Wizards for the 2021 summer league.
Limited minutes in loss
CMemphis Grizzlies
November 19, 2024
Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, Nikola Jokic (personal), this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer, and while this was not a great outing, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

Huff was named the 2022-23 Kia NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS Huff split time between the Capital City Go-Go and South Bay Lakers and led the league with 3.1 blocks per game and 87 total swats. All four of Huff's NBA appearances this season have come with the Wizards, but he's garnered minimal playing time, posting 1.8 points and 1.0 rebounds in 3.8 minutes during those contests. Kris Dunn and Shaquille Harrison were the other nominees, with the former finishing second and the latter securing third place.
