SOURC: RAPTORS VET RUDY GAY
Spacg has been a major issue, thanks large part to Gay's awkward f wh Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. This is the perd of the game where you'd thk Gay's shot-creatn skills would be most valuable.
Holls was very close wh Gay, so gettg back a name like Prce will at least appease him. That's good for Memphis, bee the last thg they need is a worse versn of Gay. Gay shot only 31 percent on three-poters this year, and that shortg allowed his fenr to cheat off him to help on Randolph and Gasol the post.
Throw Prce's obv fensive strengths -- he's regrsed sce his glory days of 2004, but he's still at least as good as Gay -- and the Grizzli have clarified their offensive peckg orr while matag or even enhancg their stiflg fense. Holls was vol his support for Gay, and the players all liked him too.
