Since returning from an injury that cost him the first 15 games of the season, Gay has been the Jazz first forward off the bench behind Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O’Neale, he replaced reserve center Hassan Whiteside for two games, he’s been an off the ball floor spacer, he’s been an on the ball creator, a three-point assassin a la George Niang, and a low post option to replace Derrick Favors. Still killin the competition Savvy veteran Rudy Gay of the San Antonio Spurs throws down a mean dunk against the Toronto Raptors on January 12, 2020. Gay has had as many games (three) when he’s attempted 10 field goals or more as he has games when he’s attempted five shots or fewer. Of the bunch, only Gay and Tucker were never selected to an All-Star team. The other veterans from the ’06 class include LaMarcus Aldridge, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Lowry, PJ Tucker, and Paul Millsap. Though he’s appeared in only 12 games with the Jazz so far, his role truly seems to change every night. Gay notched 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Sundays 114-100 loss to Dallas.

“Early in my career up until before San Antonio, I pretty much had the ball on my hands for most of the game,” Gay recalled. The forward recognizes that his willingness to change is the reason he’s still in the league 16 years after he was drafted.
