I love this for IND. Think Huff takes that starting spot and far exceeds his cost.

I'm guessing 16 to 20 minutes a game and that we don't know the starter yet. He should get a shot at it though. Jackson Wiseman or Bryant could still sign.

Nice pickup for Indy, would’ve happily snagged Huff for us at that price.

Assuming that Jackson may not be ready to play at the beginning of the season I'd say that Huff will be the starter and get 24 min a night. If Jackson comes back and makes much of a recovery he could get 20 min by the mid season, but don't forget that Jackson is a bit foul prone. :nod:

If Bryant is back, he could start to begin with. I agree that Jackson or Wiseman could take a while to be 100%.

At today's press conference, Pritchard announces the team is resigning Wiseman and is close to a deal with Jackson. Both will compete with Huff for minutes. you could call it center by committee but I'd call it situational substitutions. I expect Toppin and Siakam will also continue to get time together as a small-ball option.
