The Indiana Pacers lost their starting center in a wild free agency departure when Myles Turner joined the Milwaukee Bucks. As they use this gap year to prepare for another run next season, they are understandably looking for a starting center of the future. What if Jay Huff is the answer -- and is already in the building?
The Pacers lost two starters from last year's NBA Finals team. One is coming back next year -- Tyrese Haliburton isn't going anywhere. The other, Myles Turner, is not coming back. Figuring out the long-term replacement for Turner is one of the franchise's top missions this season and offseason so that they are prepared to go to war when Haliburton returns next year.
