Rudy Gay has good defense, has shown the ability to shoot efficiently and thus have a consistent efficient offensive game, and I never felt he was too selfish, in fact he would be the only one who consistently tried getting JV in the post!

2007-2011
FG% : 46%, 45%, 47%, 47%
3PT% : 35%, 35%, 33%, 40%
TS% : 55%, 53%, 54%, 55%
Compare to SF average in those years and you will see that Rudy has had high usage in times of high efficiency.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

I still stick to the notion that Gay is a poor man's Carmelo, with a better body and more upside. But, like Carmelo you need to put him in the right system in order for the team to succeed, NYK were good last year, because they used Melo correctly and surrounded him with defensive players, but they can't go far if JR Smith is your only other offensive weapon.
Memphis was the perfect place for Rudy, since he was stuck onto a disciplined defensive team, he just was paid too much. Toronto will give Gay more freedom to operate, but we don't have the players that can cover his weaknesses. I wish Gay played more like Lebron than Melo though, I rather he get 10-10-10 instead of 30-8-4.
I want Lowry and Derozan to be the offensive weapon 1 and 2 with JV, Gay, Amir getting their points on the side. On another note, Memphis chose Allen over Mayo for their 2 guard spot. And Mayo is similar or arguably better than Derozan, but with a 3-point shot. The more and more I type, the more I realize that the Memphis composition is what I wish Toronto to become and that Toronto isn't even close.
Gay is the only starter on Toronto that is better than Memphis's starter, yet Memphis did better without him..-"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."

FG: 37%, 39%, 42%, 40%
3pt: 37%, 32%, 33%, 38%
It is obvious that Rudy is way more efficient.
And Monta Ellis is not that inefficient (save a bad 3pt shot), he has had seasons scoring 50%+ FG in 81 games, as a SG. Only his most recent season and his rookie season has his FG% dipper below 43%.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

Sports Illustrated thinks Gay can be an All-Star
Rudy Gay, Raptors: Like [Josh] Smith, Gay benefits from an increased profile on his new squad. The Raptors haven’t made it to the postseason since 2008, and someone will get some love if they can hang in contention into January. Clearly the No. 1 guy in Toronto (at least until Jonas Valanciunas fully blooms), Gay is also in position to be one of the league’s top 10 scorers, and nine of the top 10 scorers last season earned All-Star nods (Curry was the only exception). Hopefully, the coaches will only reward Gay if his efficiency numbers take a big leap forward, but he’s lurking if Toronto starts well and someone like George unexpectedly falters.

FoxMachine wrote: View Postthis Rudy hasn't existed since his shoulder injury.. great game last night as far as FG% goes but the shot selection was still terrible IMO aside from I think 2 baskets at the rim, with one being a fast break after a steal. If the shot selection stays the same all year I think his FG% will be just as bad as it was the past 2 years@Chr1st1anL

Rudy believes his going to make every shot he takes. By making him second guess him self, take a way the most important part of his game.
He has the be smarter in general with the shots that he takes.
I've noticed that he doesn't take many highly contested long-twos, or contested perimeter shots, but he stops the ball and team movement when it comes to him, and takes many shots outside of the offense. He needs to get closer to the basket (post-ups, drives, off p-&-r's), and he should think about doing something with the ball within a short period of time.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
