Gay (concussion) averaged 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, 1.0 steal, and 0.6 blocks in 35 minutes in 68 regular season games during the 2014-15 season.
In his first full season with the Kings, Gay had career-highs in both points and assists per game. Earlier this month in an interview on SiriusXM, Gay went on record saying that coach George Karl intends to play him more at the power forward position in the 2015-16 season. Gay averaged 22.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, 1.0 steal, and 0.8 blocks in 35 minutes in five games starting at power forward in March. However, Gay's name has been swirling in trade rumors before the draft revolving around Sacramento All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. Gay could potentially be moved to his fourth team in as many years, but wherever he ends up, he should continue to be a high-profile scorer. He is on the books for the $40 million over the next three seasons, keeping him under contract through the 2017-18 season.

Gay (head) will log more time at power forward during the 2015-16 season, Sactown Royalty reports.
In a recent radio appearance on SiriusXM, Gay mentioned that coach George Karl intends to play the forward "more at the four" in the upcoming campaign. Gay played such a role during a five-game stretch from Mar. 20 through Mar. 28, averaging 22.4 points (on 45 percent shooting), 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, 1.0 steal, and 0.8 blocks in 35 minutes. The sample is more or less in line with his season-long marks, but Darren Collison (hip) was out of the lineup, meaning Gay's output could experience a change with more proficient point guard play.
