Jay Huff, the Indiana Pacers center, has been ranked third in the NBA 2K27 shot blocker ratings with a rating of 96. He is tied with Chet Holmgren, while Victor Wembanyama has the highest rating of 99 and Alex Sarr has a rating of 97. Last season, Huff played all 82 games and made 47 starts, averaging 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 21 minutes per game. He also averaged 1.9 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 47.6%, a three-point percentage of 31.9%, and a free-throw percentage of 82.8%. Huff's performance in the league has been impressive, especially considering he went undrafted out of Virginia in 2021. He has played for several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington, Denver, and Memphis, before joining the Indiana Pacers. In the 2024-25 season, Huff played 64 games with Memphis, averaging 6.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 11.7 minutes per game. The Indiana Pacers acquired Huff from the Memphis Grizzlies on July 5, 2025, in exchange for a second-round pick and a second-round pick swap. This move was made after Myles Turner signed a four-year, $108.9 million contract with Milwaukee. Huff's contract with the Pacers is worth up to $10.11 million over four years, with the first two seasons fully guaranteed. Huff's games played have increased significantly over the years, from four games in his first season to 82 games last season. He is expected to compete for the backup center role behind Ivica Zubac, who was acquired by the Pacers at the February deadline. The Pacers also signed Kelly Oubre Jr. and Larry Nance Jr. and brought back Kobe Brown on a two-way contract. The NBA 2K27 ratings are set to be released on September 4, with early access beginning on August 28. The Indiana Pacers will open their training camp in late September. Jay Huff's ranking in the shot blocker ratings is a testament to his impressive defensive skills, and he will look to build on his performance from last season. The Pacers had a tough season last year, going 19-63 without Tyrese Haliburton, who missed the season due to an injury. However, with the addition of new players and the return of key players, the team will look to improve their performance in the upcoming season. Jay Huff will be an important part of the team's defense, and his shot-blocking abilities will be crucial in their quest for success.
