His OBPM is 0.3, while his DBPM is 0.0 - the epitome of average. That’s down from his career best 19.46 PER last season and the 18.40 he posted in 2013-14 but still well above the league average of 15.0.īasketball Reference’s Offensive and Defensive Box Plus/Minus ratings provide a different perspective on Gay’s effectiveness. He ranks 10th among small forwards at 16.69. In terms of ESPN’s Player Efficiency Rating, Gay is having another solid season.

The acquisition of Rajon Rondo, the league’s assists leader, has led to a dip in Gay’s numbers (18.0 points, 1.7 assists) but he’s pulling down more rebounds (6.9 compared to 5.9 a year ago) as he switches back and forth between the forward spots. Gay averaged a career-high 21.1 points and 3.7 assists last season, as he took a larger offensive role for a Kings team that struggled to find a consistent point guard. Virtually any team would be satisfied with a player who averages 18.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.8 minutes - his career numbers. Scan the basic numbers and Gay ranks as one of the league’s top small forwards. So it’s not surprising that Gay is apparently on the trading block for the third time in four years. He still tends to leave his coaches and home fans exasperated, wondering why his multi-dimensional skills fail to translate into greater production. Rudy Gay has played in the NBA since the 2006/07 season and posted steady numbers throughout his career.
