Pacers quietly vindicated for bold Jay Huff decision

The Indiana Pacers took a chance on Jay Huff to help replace Myles Turner’s value and give him real playing time. And as it stands, this move is paying massive dividends for them.

Jay Huff is becoming everything the Pacers wanted

After 10 seasons in Indiana, Turner signed a four-year, $108.9 million contract with the Milwaukee Bucks and forced his old team to scramble for his replacement.

Though he had his flaws, the Texas native was never going to be an easy player for the Pacers to replace. He was a stretch big who could protect the rim, run the length of the floor, and switch on defense.
