Not sure what all the fuss is about tbh.
He's averaging 18ppg on 41% shooting. His only pluses are that he's athletic and can create his own shot. he's got nothing else to his game.
Hardly a superstar. He's not even one of the best in his position.
Ridiculously overpaid. JJ is at least a very good player with a nice all round game. This guy is only a good scorer and has a max contract.
Rudy Gay - so overrated

Underrated is what he is.

Not a fan tbh.
LBJ, KD, Melo, Pierce, Deng, Iggy and Batum are all better than Gay imo.
He has a horrible contract which Memphis really should get rid of after this season. Not now though as they have a good chance of appearing in the NBA finals and trading Gay will hurt the team.

There is alot of competition at the SF spot, but this guy has it all. I'd take him over Deng, Iguodala, Batum and Pierce. The other 3 are elite. His contract might be huge, but that doesnt retract from the fact he is a very good player in his own right.

Yeah, he's probably better than Batum now. Just wanted to drop his name because he's having a great season and I love him.
I wouldn't take him over the others. no way.
Pierce is the more efficient scorer, better shooter, better passer and a more intelligent player.
Deng and Iggy both bring elite D while the latter is an elite playmaker and the former is an elite rebounder and is a more efficient scorer than Gay.

Some good points, but i just think Rudy is a mix of all those attributes. However i respect your opinion and can see why you'd pick the others over him.

What do you think of Bradley Beal? He's my favourite rookie.

BOOZER omg. hes turning up the cheese this year. Beal is pretty good, could see a very nice backcourt with him and John Wall.
My fav Rookie this year has to be Andre Drummond. He's such a beast.
