This past summer, Gay realized the Raptors were lacking that kind of vocal guy on the court and decided to take on that role with the team this season.
This new-found vocal leadership was on display in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves when Gay barked out instructions to DeMar DeRozan to make a back cut, which resulted in a nasty dunk.
Then, a couple possessions later, Gay pulled Jonas Valanciunas aside during a break in play to show him what would have been more effective on his drive on the baseline.
Throw into the mix that Gay had spirited decisions with teammates during teammates, and it's become clear he has decided to fill the void with this team when it comes to being a vocal leader on the court.
This kind of vocal leadership might not seem like a big deal, but on a team that has been sorely needing it, it has been a welcome sight and addition.
