Jay Huff

The Grizzlies traded Huff to the Pacers this offseason, so the big man will be on his fifth team in five years. Prior to last season, Huff had never appeared in more than 20 regular-season games during a single campaign. With so many injuries ahead of him, Huff played in 64 regular-season games for the Grizzlies, averaging 6.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 1.3 made three-pointers while posting 52/41/79 shooting splits. His playing time wasn't consistent, but he certainly flashed upside, including a 22-point, six-block outing during the regular-season finale. As the new guy in town, Huff will have to earn his playing time. However, with Myles Turner now in Milwaukee, there are major minutes available, and the 7-foot-1 Huff is the only true center on the roster healthy heading into training camp. Isaiah Jackson got a three-year extension this offseason but tore his Achilles in November of 2024, and it's unclear if he'll be available to start the campaign. James Wiseman is also recovering from a torn Achilles, while Tony Bradley, Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker are undersized when playing the five. Huff has never held a consistent NBA role in his career, so even if he is the Pacers' starting center to open the campaign and plays well, there'll be questions about how long he can maintain it and how much his role will be reduced when Jackson and Wiseman are healthy. Either way, Huff's unicorn ability to block shots and make threes gives him immense fantasy upside, especially in category leagues. Read Past Outlooks
