They’ve posted a +18.4 differential (84th percentile) over 450 possessions (again, per CleaningtheGlass).Īside from the data’s troubling suggestion that Gay played particularly well with Joe Ingles, it’s obvious that Quin Snyder prefers Gay at the 4 spot. That grouping has him alongside Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson, and Mike Conley.
The most frequently used lineup featuring Gay has him at his traditional 4 spot. The jury is still out on the small-ball experiment, and it looks like Quin Snyder may keep it that way. That group was posting a +33.1 differential, albeit over just 27 possessions. That’s because it swapped Joe Ingles in for Bojan Bogdanovic in that same lineup. The best lineup featuring Gay at the 5 is unfortunately no longer an option.
