9. Rudy Gay – Sacramento Kings

2015-16 Stats: 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 46.3% field goals

Consistent is the best word to describe the Kings’ forward. Throughout his career, Rudy Gay has been a reliable scorer providing offense when needed.

Gay is a very athletic small forward with an excellent mid-range game. Even though Gay is experiencing conflict with his current team, the hope is that he’ll be granted a fresh start before the start of the new season.

There is some speculation that Gay could end up getting shipped to Miami or Houston, or any other team that will take him, but we’ll have to wait and see how everything plays out.

Next: No. 8
