Rudy Gay will take 100 game winners for you sure, he has no conscience, but of those 100, how many will he make? Why do you think he's bounced around from team to team? I'm honestly perplexed by some of the things people post, specially the ones that post a lot of quality material like yourself.

Our personnel fits him but trading him for our core assets would be a massive mistake. Getting a good asset and him who is a decent asset would be ideal for us.

Oh man, I remember that. One series was all it took to nuke the Steve Smith, Mookie Blaylock backcourt.... Still wish we would have kept Smitty.

We are talking about a 38 shot sample size here... he could easily go 0 for his next 10 and pull back towards the mean on this... Besides the problem is what Gay does during the other 47.92 minutes of the ball game, which is play inefficient on offense and not at all on defense.

I like team USA Gay, he actually played defense and shot within the flow. Anybody thinks he looks a bit on the chunky side...he could drop a few El-bees.

Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted April 5, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Also, forgot to mention Gay is a mediocre three point shooter. Has the same career 3pt shooting % as Thabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBoy Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Well, this same play just won Villanova the title. Maybe we should keep it in our back pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 6 seconds and no timeouts, the amount of options available are pretty limited. Teague driving would have been a mistake because Lebron was waiting in the wing to help out.

Besides the problem is what Gay does during the other 47.92 minutes of the ball game, which is play inefficient on offense and not at all on defense. Rudy Gay is on a bad team with individually talented players, but with no chemistry or a comittment to defense. It's everyone. Not just him. But to say that his clutch time stats don't mean much, is simply just being a hater. Any guy who can make 30%+ of his shots in late game situations, is pretty damn good in the clutch, due to the difficulty of the shot most times. Rudy makes damn near 45% of his clutch shots, which may be close to the best in NBA history. This guy has an entire youtube vid showing just about every game tying and game winning shot he's made in his career. I think someone posted a stat that stated that the Hawks are something like 0 for their last 12 FG in last second game tying or winning shots in 4th quarter and OT. But we couldn't use a guy that historically makes 5 of those 12 shots? Honestly ( and I know people hated when I used to do this ), but LOL @ those who try to hate on Rudy Gay, when our options are Bazemore, Korver, and Sefolosha. Last season, Rudy averaged 21 pts - 6 rebs - and almost 4 asst, while shooting 45+% FG - 36% 3FG - and 86% FT. Those are All-Star game worthy stats, if he played on a higher profile team that was winning. His numbers ( mainly shot attempts ) are down this year, but he'd still be a better offensive wing option and late game closer than anyone we have on the Hawks. And the biggest thing is that he's ONLY 29, which means he may still have 2 - 4 years of starter level play in him. A coach like Bud could bring out the best in Rudy, just like he's done with everyone else on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tells me a whole lot about him as a leader or a winner. He is a high volume chucker. And according to @JayBirdHawk he's now a fatty McButterpants...I would pass and I'm hoping the Hawks never sign him or trade for him. The he highlights tell me he's a video game player. I'd like to see a stats of the player that he is guarding every night. I'm guessing it wouldn't be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
