I agree with most people. Don't want him on my team, but I'm glad he's doing well.Twitter - @thekid_it

Now he's using only 24% of Kings plays. He's settled for less long jumpers.
Nothing has changed to be honest, just now he's 3rd option on the team, accepted that role and he's shooting less long jumpshots. If you take a look at his % of long jumpshots, 3pt you'll see that he's shooting struggles are still here. He just found a solution. Congrats Gay

He's actually a very good player. He's perfect as a 2nd/3rd option on offense and great on clutch moments just like he was in Memphis (3rd option behind ZBo and Gasol - I still thought they would have won the championship last year had they kept him). But he's not worth $17-19M/year. Good for him. I think we still got the value we needed as our bench improved so much. Although I wish we could have snagged their 1st rounder lol. Maybe Masai isn't too greedy.

What really brought down Gay's %s from his historic norms (which were not particularily high) was his interior shooting, which was horrendous. At the rim is usually in the 50-60% range for players... Gay was shooting something like 35% or something ridiculously low.
They were often open shots to. Did he go a game without missing a dunk or a lay up?
I can't even begin to discern why that would be. Out of shape? Added weight to play PF? General fatigue? Bad luck for a month and a half
But something was causing him to miss gimmies and regularily. That took historically inefficient scoring to levels of crap almost never before seen.
