Over the two seasons Gay spent in California, he constantly scored at least 18 points a night on over 45% shooting, averaged more than six rebounds, and during the 2014-15 season, averaged four assists.Īn injury-riddled 2016-17 season saw Gay, who was able to string together 19 points a game on a nightly basis, ended up succumbing to a ruptured Achilles that ended his season after 30 games. Over the course of two seasons, Gay played 34 minutes a night and somehow managed to participate in 138/164 of his team's games.
Instead, he decided to shine over his next two full seasons in Sacramento for a failing team that didn’t deserve his talent.
