WHY IS RUDY GAY GETTG MUT FOR THE JAZZ?

The Hoton Rockets selected Gay wh the eighth overall pick the 2006 NBA draft but he was trad to the Memphis Grizzli, along wh Stroe Swift, exchange for Shane Battier on July 12, 2006. 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. He do not have posive value and the Jazz are well we’re gog to look at thgs purely om a numbers perspective has to be noted that the Jazz explibly play better wh Gay on the urt than they do whout Cleang The Glass, the Jazz have an efficiency differential of +12. I n’t expla why or how the Jazz are puttg up those numbers when Gay is on the urt, nsirg his low productn and some of his qutnable cisn-makg on both ends, but is you pair that wh the fact that the Gay is only playg about 15 mut per game, the Jazz are gog to happily live wh the rults, even if don’t look great when ’s there are reasons I believe Gay is playg that go beyond the numbers and beyond the season, Qu Snyr benched Gay and the veteran player was not pleased.

On media day this season he likened to the reporters g to the terview room and not beg able to ask qutns, not beg allowed to do their realy would be more like a reporter dog a bad job and then beg moted for someone who was dog a better job, but that’s not how Gay saw thgs.

3 LANDG SPOTS FOR FORMER UTAH JAZZ PLAYER RUDY GAY

This season, Will Hardy, who has known Gay for a long time due to their San Anton nnectn, has given Gay a small role on the team and has said multiple tim that he has relied on Gay not only as a soundg board but also as a veteran to help gui the young players on the team. He’s been helpful, has offered advice, directn and, if you’re gettg veteran mentorship, a reliable source of wisdom and all you have to give up for that is 12-15 mut a night and a uple of bad shots, ’s a pretty good al, pecially when those mut aren’t directly ntributg to losg and when you look at what uld hypothetilly happen if you cid to go another Hardy cid to pletely bench Gay to play Fontecch or Agbaji, Gay might react the same way that he did when Snyr moted him. I believe that Hardy is probably dog Gay a solid exchange for beg a good soldier and so long as he do that, there’s no reason not to give him some playg urse, this n’t last forever.

Wh all of Kelly Olynyk, Jarred Vanrbilt and Walker Ksler viewed as greater prri the onturt, Gay is unlikely to see his role expand much movg forward, and the impendg return of Lri Markkanen (illns) uld even rult Gay losg some mut. 27, 2021 Salt Lake ’s both a glass-half-empty way and a glass-half-full way to look at Rudy Gay’s Friday, the Utah Jazz forward mented publicly for the first time on his offseason surgery to repair his right heel, the same surgery that has kept him out of the Jazz’s preason actn so far and will ntue to keep him out through the early part of the regular said that the heel had ed him pa that he’d been “playg wh for a while” — five years, fact.

The prry is the playoffs, and the team will sacrifice regular-season mut the the glass-half-full aspect is this: Gay was a pretty solid NBA ntributor over the last five seasons, playg through pa. Even though he hasn’t been any gam so far, Gay has been part of the team’s shootg ntts, fdg himself groups wh all liber of marksmen, om Rudy Gobert to Joe Friday, his practice also nsisted of some work the post: both srg wh an assistant ach fendg, and learng how the Jazz might move players around him to fd open cutters and short, ’s not that Gay don’t want to be around, or that he’s takg easy.
