Jay Huff · In between ranking No. 1 in drives per game and being No. 3 in catch-and-shoot triples at once, it’s truly anyone’s guess, regarding the best way to stop the fittingly-first-placed Memphis Grizzlies offense. Among the things that aren’t worth guessing: the amount of respect Memphis’ night-by-night opponents have for both options. Putting said fear factor to the test, Jay Huff matches his point guard’s stride during an early-offense design, stopping atop the arc with a 3-point shot — or the threat of it, at least — in mind. Leaving Dorian Finney-Smith as yesterday’s news after a pump-fake clears his rim path, Huff puffs and blows the Brooklyn Nets’ house down with a one-handed flush, clearing his team’s bench in celebration. Predictably well-rested after a four-day rest period, Memphis looked the part in December 13, 2024’s near-wire-to-wire win; helpful throughout his 12-minute cameo, Huff offered up six points (on three-of-six shooting), four rebounds, and one assist. · State of Mint
