Rudy Gay

Rumors have been out that the Kings are looking to shop Rudy Gay this summer, but if he remains on the Kings roster no doubt he will be the starting small forward for Sacramento in their season opener.

What Gay brings to the table is that he is a pure scorer. Throughout his time with the Kings, Gay has averaged 19.4 points per game while shooting 46.5% from the court, 34.2% from the three-point line, and 83% from the free-throw line.

Since Gay has been a Sacramento King he has started almost every game with them. So why would they change it now if he remains to wear purple in October?
