I liken Rudy Gay to Vince Carter. Very athletic and fluid. There's a smoothness to both of their games that makes it a pleasure to watch. You want to believe both are/were better than they really are (Vince was a better player than Rudy). They both think they want to be the man, get up 20+ shots, etc.

Toronto does like athletic wings....
