The NBA development league record for most blocks in a season is currently held by Kurt Ruby, who blocked 166 shots in the 2009-2010 season, or an average of 3.3 blocks per game. <\/p>\n<p>In just 10 games so far this season, Jay Huff has already blocked 44 shots, averaging 4.4 blocks per game. For context, his second-most-shotting blocker in the NBA G League averages 2.2 blocking his shots per game. Huff is on pace to break his shot record one block in a season, with him on track to record 220 blocks in a 50-game season if he keeps up this pace. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>Huff has recorded at least four blocks seven times this season, and has also recorded a game of seven blocks. Virginia fans won&#8217;t be surprised by Huff&#8217;s shot-blocking ability. Virginia fans said Durham native Huff put in an incredible performance against his hometown Duke his team, Virginia&#8217;s 52-50 victory over his No. 7 Duke. I remember him blocking 10 shots.

Huff appeared in four games for the Lakers last season, but he&#8217;s yet to score his first career points after playing just 20 minutes in those four games. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<p>With his otherworldly rim protection skills and ability to act as an effective rim runner and three-point shooting center, Jay Huff has proven himself worthy of playing at the NBA level at this point. For the Lakers, or any other NBA team to see Huff&#8217;s potential and make a move to acquire him. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\"\/>\n<p><strong>Get the latest on all former Virginia athletes playing at the professional level here: Sports Illustrated&#8217;s Pro Hoos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>See more Virginia sports news and content: Sports Illustrated Virginia Cavaliers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow CavaliersNow on social media for the latest on all Virginia Cavaliers sports news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook: @CavaliersNow<br \/><\/strong><strong>twitter: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CavaliersNowFN\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">@CavaliersNowFN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiY2h0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnNpLmNvbS9jb2xsZWdlL3ZpcmdpbmlhL3Byby1ob29zL2pheS1odWZmLW9uLXBhY2UtdG8tc2hhdHRlci1uYmEtZy1sZWFndWUtYmxvY2tzLXJlY29yZNIBaGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnNpLmNvbS9jb2xsZWdlL3ZpcmdpbmlhLy5hbXAvcHJvLWhvb3MvamF5LWh1ZmYtb24tcGFjZS10by1zaGF0dGVyLW5iYS1nLWxlYWd1ZS1ibG9ja3MtcmVjb3Jk?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The NBA G League&#8217;s record for most blocks in a single season is in jeopardy, thanks to former Virginia center Jay Huff.
