Utah Jazz 22 Rudy Gay Black NBA Swingman 2020-21 City Edition Jersey 179.99 25. While it would be far-fetched to expect Gay to hold up 43% shooting from deep, he’s fit in well with Quin Snyder’s scheme and is at a career-high 67.9% three-point attempt rate! He still has off-the-dribble juice attacking closeouts, moves the ball well and doesn’t pass up open looks (and will even nail some contested or off the bounce). The offense between the pair has also been incredibly effective, creating some interesting dynamics. Gay can credibly keep some 5s off the glass and jostle for position, and through 10 games maintains the highest rebound percentage of his career (14.8%) lineups with the duo in the frontcourt are in the 99th percentile for defensive-rebound percentage. Gobert has been a capable switch defender for quite a few seasons, and many of the issues that have occurred when he switches (due to prior years) happen on the back end - when he’s out on the perimeter or on a different assignment. Playing both Gay and Gobert together has led to much more effective and secure switching on 4/5 pick-and-rolls.
