Jay Huff accounted for 13 points (4-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Friday's loss to the 76ers.Facing one of the NBA's premier perimeter-shooting big men in Philadelphia's Joel Embiid, Huff spent most of his time on the perimeter. Of the 12 shots he attempted, 11 came from beyond the arc. The good news is that Huff made four, but his field-goal percentage took a hit. However, more important than that was the split of the minutes. Huff played 27 minutes, with Isaiah Jackson (7/9/1) logging 12 and Tony Bradley (2/2/1/1) nine. If Huff can continue to get playing time of that quality moving forward, he becomes a more trustworthy fantasy option.
