Jay Huff

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.

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.
