Even sual fans n see he’s slow fensively, he mak bad cisns on offense and that spe all, he is still gettg mut ahead of Simone Fontecch or Ochai you dig to some of Gay’s dividual stats, don’t help his se much.
I thk the explanatn is nuanced and there are many factors that are playg to — and this certaly won’t help you unrstand why Gay is gettg playg time — I’d like to dispel any belief that the Jazz are playg Gay so that they n crease his tra value.
