Rudy Gay has shown to have the type of mentality of he is going to show you what you should do, but also showed this season with the Kings that he does not mind being the guy to grab DeMarcus Cousins and try to talk him down. The Leadership:Sacramento has been looking for a veteran player like Rudy Gay. Rudy is unquestionable a top 10 small forward in the league today and with how difficult it is to find talent at that position, letting him go can really be a setback in the growth of this Kings team. Of course you have those few that can play the position, but most cannot contribute at a high level like the three listed. You may ask, why does that matter to this situation with Rudy? Well it means that the position that all three of these players play is scarce in the NBA. Scarcity At The Position: Looking back on the Kings history, Sacramento has never really gathered many high profile small forwards other than Peja Stojakovic and Ron Artest, now known as Metta World Peace.
