Rudy Gay

For the season, Rudy Gay was able to be a solid go-to piece on the offensive end of the floor. His average of 18.7 points per game while shooting 45.5% from the court and 37.2% from the three-point line attest to this notion.

Defensively, Gay was able to use his athleticism and length to his advantage as he was a solid defender for the Kings this season. As a result, Gay averaged 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. Overall, Gay’s season was cut short due to his Achilles injury, but when he was on the court, he was clearly one of the better players on the Kings’ roster.

Overall Grade: B+
