At the start of last season I made a thread about Jay Huff

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2311533

He is in Memphis now, after good preseason he played in their first two games as primary backup center. He is averaging

10.5 pts 4 rbs 1ast 1 stl and 2 blk in 19 minutes per game. Shooting splits 53.8%/55.6%/100%

He was buried somewhere on our bench or in the G league last season when we didn't have backup C. No one noticed his existance.
Now if you look at his per 36 minutes averages it looks simmilar in the last 3 years.

Only diference is he is playing 19 minutes per game now, and for us he played 2.5 minutes per game. Oh **** if we only had coach who could have find a way to use some of our players to their strenghts maybe our starters wouldn't have been so gassed out in the playoffs.

Hey, I was surprised they resigned DAJ, would've love to have a true 7-fter on the roster who could play. Seems (at the time anyway) having the size to battle the twin towers in MINN would be a good thing.

Huff last night vs Magic

18 pts, 2 reb, 1 blk in 19 minutes. Shot 7-9, 3-5 from 3. Averages
13/3.3/1.7 blk in 19 minutes shooting 63.6% / 57.1% / 100%

Totals (3 games) Huff
39 pts, 8 3s, 8 blks

Nuggets bench totals (2 games)
27 pts, 3 3s, 5 blks

Just saying...

Last night vs 76ers 20 pts / 5 rebs / 1 ast / 1 blk, shooting 7-10 (5-7 from 3)

For the season 11/2.7/1.3 (blk) shooting 61.4% / 55.6% / 100%

Jay Huff hit 15 3s in 7 games, has 9 blk
Nuggets bench 13 3s in 6 games, 7 blk

If poor Malone had somebody like Huff on our banch he would have known how to use him...

Maybe

Really appreciate what Huff is doing, good for him ! But seems this is more about the crappy attitude Malone has toward rookie/young players. Funny how he teaches "team first" yet doesn't believe in that himself.
