Overview

  • Jay Huff is dealt to Indiana in exchange for a second-round pick and a draft pick swap.
  • In Indiana, Huff fills the vacancy left by Myles Turner’s departure to Milwaukee as a floor-spacing rim protector.
  • Huff’s four-year contract through 2027-28 brings 40 percent three-point shooting and 2.7 blocks per 36 minutes.
  • Jock Landale’s career-high shooting marks and on-ball screening prowess align with Memphis’s new offensive scheme.
  • Both teams emphasize stretch-five shooting and rim protection as they realign their frontcourts for next season.
