Rudy Gay (22) of the Utah Jazz miss a rebound while Tre Jon (33) of the San Anton Spurs gets the ball Salt Lake Cy on Tuday, Oct. But the thg I’ve e away om this game thkg the most about is Rudy are some who believe that Gay will get playg time wh this team so that the Jazz n maximize his tra value before the are some that believe he will get time wh this team bee he is an elr statman and n mentor the velopg there are those that believe that Gay uld be on the choppg block as the Jazz whtle the roster down to the maximum 15 before the start of the regular 1 do seem like a very NBA-ont-officey thg to do, but Gay has been the NBA sce 2006.
WHAT DO THE RUDY GAY SIGNG MEAN FOR THE UTAH JAZZ?
Rudy Gay is the biggt offseason addn for the Utah Jazz, but how much of a difference will he make on both ends of the floor? * rudy gay 22 *
Gay, along wh Horton-Tucker, Fontecch, Butler and Ksler, took what was an absolute blowout game (wh the Spurs leadg by as many as 27 pots) and ma a sgle-dig was clearly offerg advice to Butler and enuragement to the others durg ad balls and timeouts, and many of the young players on the roster have mentned Gay as one of the veterans who has been a big help through trag do seem that Optn 2 is most likely, Optn 3 is not out of the realm of possibily. I’m of the opn that Gay’s value on the tra market is not gog to change for the better.
Addnally, Gay has been pretty vol about his sire to play. He’s not gog to be OK wh an honorary spot on the roster, mentorg young guys om the bench, and the mut that Gay plays means that there are gog to be fewer mut for some of the young players that the Jazz might want to velop for the is not a part of the Jazz’s future. Gay is makg jt north of $6 ln this season and has a player optn for the 2023-24 season which would pay him $6.
There is also an argument to be ma for keepg Gay around bee he do not signifintly raise the Jazz’s ceilg, and the Jazz are certaly lookg to lose some gam this ends up on the Jazz’s fal roster before the start of the 2022-23 season is hontly one of the more pellg stori surroundg the team right now, and Gay’s role on is gog to have a signifint impact on who plays and who do even if Gay is not a part of the Jazz’s extend future, his prence on the roster is gog to have a major impact on the rt of what happens this year.

But, if the Jazz want to play wh a small-ball five, Gay n fill that role easily as well as play some mut at small reer averag of 16. 8 rebounds per game, Gay shot 38. Signg Gay was the wrg on the wall for Ge Niang, who later on Tuday agreed to a two-year al wh the Philalphia 76ers.
The posnal versatily om Gay would have phed Niang out of the rotatn and Niang, who beme a ee agent after the 2020-21 season, was due for a bump Gay is certaly viewed as an upgra at the forward posn, he’s not a long term fix (nsirg his age and a short ntract), and as soon as next season, the Jazz uld be lookg once aga for answers at that, signed g the taxpayer mid-level exceptn, has seen some of his srg productn fall off recent years, but he still remas a reliable and versatile fenr, which is right le wh what the Jazz he spent the last few years San Anton and Sacramento before that, Gay started his NBA reer wh the Memphis Grizzli after beg selected No. That means that when the Jazz start the 2021-22 season, Gay will be rned wh Mike Conley, whom he played wh for more than five seasons at the begng of both of their reers.
If Gay and Conley n rekdle some of the chemistry they had on the urt while they were Memphis, that would fely be a bon for the Jazz. What will Rudy Gay brg to the Utah Jazz?

Maybe that’s a potential solutn for the my-turn, your-turn ncern: have Gay screen for Clarkson wh an empty pat, and let eher take advantage of the space afford.
Passg and reboundgGay averaged 1. I thk that’s a pretty good parison for Gay’s level of playmakg: jt like Bogdanovic, Gay is playg pick and roll, attackg closeouts, and playg isolatn wh the tentn of srg first. In general, rather than takg that extra dribble that Bogdanovic do to get eper to the pat for a layup — a dribble that uld get stripped — Gay is jt gonna pull up and take the midrange shot.

Here’s how Gay stacks up wh the rt of the Jazz rebounds per mute last season:Now, ’s worth notg that his reboundg has cled for the last two seasons, and ’s likely that he’s not as bouncy as he was two years ago. You watched the Jazz get torn to shreds last year’s playoffs on the fensive end of the floor, and you’re wonrg: will Gay help? So, for example, here’s him on Caris LeVert — Levert thks he n take Gay jt wh a ltle shoulr shimmy and some speed, and ’s not gog to the other hand, agast the ele ballhandlg typ, he’s gog to stggle.

But A) Gay will probably play mostly bench mut equently not wh Gobert, and B) that approach has led to some disappotg fensive rults two playoffs a row now, as the Jazz’s perimeter fenrs n’t keep anyone ont. If so, Gay is a logil ndidate to help muck thgs up.
Fally, I like what Gay n do si. This is a rare missed block-out by Gay — he actually verbally regniz his mistake durg the play, which I love — but he’s able to rever and get the block on the ensug putback Jazz didn’t have wgs who were makg that play last season.
