There has been a lot of talk this season about whether the Indiana Pacers should make a trade for a new starting center ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, or if they should just wait until the offseason. But given his recent showings, Jay Huff may have put an end to that conversation.
In the month of January, the Virginia alum has averaged 12 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.6 blocks while shooting 64.5% from the field and 42.5% from deep. This includes a career game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Jan. 16, when Huff recorded 29 points on 13-for-17 shooting, nine rebounds, one assist, two steals, and two blocks.
