Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -0.58.
Pure punt-build spice — a 7-footer who swats shots at a top-shelf rate and stretches the floor, from the cheapest seat in the draft. The catch is the role, not the skill: a backup-five battle in Indiana caps the minutes, so treat the games total as optimistic and stream around it for blocks and threes.
Jay Huff enters 2026-27 at #152 on our board — Round 13 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 18.7 minutes a night. The value is built on blocks and turnovers, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 62 games.
