Rudy gay wingspan
Gay’s versatility will open up a whole new set of lineups and schemes the Jazz have yet to have the luxury of playing with. The roster now has a one of the best bench trios in the league with him, Jordan Clarkson, and Joe ingles. If, for the rest of this season, Gay can prove he’s a knock down shooter, Utah’s bench will be dangerous. Again, this will almost surly regress as he plays more games, but it’s a promising sign nonetheless. While Gay was on the court, the Jazz had a blistering offensive rating of 127, more than 12 points higher than Utah’s average. This is going to spread defenses thin, opening Gobert’s dives to the basket and leading to easy points in the paint. When Gay is on the court, opponents are going to have to respect his ability to shoot the ball. Gobert slips behind the defense, Ingles finds him on the roll /S5iyZWGSoc- Shane Young November 19, 2021 Rudy Gay sets the first, Rudy Gobert with the next. Take a look at this play, where Gay’s ability to stretch the floor left Chris Boucher in no man’s land, leading to a Gobert dunk:Ĭonsecutive ball-screens by the Rudys (we need a name for this) On the other end, Gay’s three point shooting opened up a few new wrinkles in Utah’s offense. As he gets more comfortable with the system, I expect Quin Snyder take advantage of Gay’s versatility with some new defensive schemes.

While this comes from a minuscule sample size, both the eye test and the numbers from last night showed that Gay can have a significant impact on defense for Utah. The effects of that were clear last night, as when Gay was on the court, the Toronto Raptors were held to an offensive rating of 86.8. To make things even better, Gay boasts a 7-3 wingspan, making his ability to disrupt passing lanes and wreak havoc on defense even easier. At around 6-8, 250lb, Gay fills in the role of the over-sized, versatile wing that the Jazz have been looking for these past few years. Still, outside of that, Gay showed a lot of promising additions to the Jazz, many of which they’ve desperately needed.įor one, his size is going to be a huge asset for the Jazz moving forward. Obviously, Gay won’t shoot this well every time he suits up. Patrick O'Bryant of the Warriros also has a 9'5 standing reach, but only a 7'6 wingspan.Home W /5uDy8YhCMt- NBA November 19, 2021 His wingspan is 7'8.5 and his reach is 9'5. Saer Sane has the longest I think ever in the NBA, or since they have kept record. I don't know who Antywane Robinson is, but at 6'7.5 he has a 7'4.5 wingspan.

The longest wingspan in this entire draft class who went to the combine was Ekena Ibekwe (undrafted) from MD and he's 6'9 in shoes with a 7'6. I just wasn't able to find Mobley's (one site said 6'3 and one said 7'1, but I remember hearing that number on both him and Charles Spider Smith). Al Thornton goes 6'7 in shoes with a 7'1 wingspan.Īll these measurements are taken directly from their NBA combine numbers which as you know, aren't embellished. Jason Maxiell is the same with a 7'3 wingspan.

Josh Howard is 6'6.5 with shoes on and a 7'2 wingspan. Barbosa is a point guard with a 6'10 wingspan. Kat Mobley is 6'4 with a 7'4 wingspan, as was Charles Smith (the one with the acne who played for the Blazer's and Spurs). Edit: and yea, slight exaggeration on my part.
