Rudy Gay . 5. player. 125. Career Stats: 18.4 PPG, 2.3 APG and 5.9 RPG. Original Pick. Shelden Williams

He’s never been an NBA All-Star but boy, can Rudy Gay put the ball in the basket. Gay has never averaged single digits in points and has never scored less than 17 points a game, excluding his rookie season.

It’s important to note that Gay can often be inefficient but his scoring prowess has led to many exciting game winning plays for his teams over the years.

However inefficient, you can count on the Hawks picking Gay over Shelden Williams if they had a second chance. Williams averaged only 4.3 points per game in his two-season tenure in Atlanta.

For comparison, Gay averaged 20.1 points a game in his second season in the NBA.
