Ultimately, what any one player does serves the greater good, and it's best to consider those effects before moving on to personal concerns.Apr. Whether in good times or bad, he wants himself and his teammates to consider what the Raptors did as a whole. The goal appears to be in refocusing attention, ensuring that players won't immediately focus on themselves in the aftermath of a game. Then again, Gay has been in the league long enough to know that players will see their stats eventually, so it seems unlikely that he would think his rule completely alters players' vision of the team's performance.
It's hard to look at Gay's lines and not determine that his shot selection needs work. Gay may want to communicate broader concepts of team unity, but his own performances indicate that an individual can learn a lot from his own box score stats. He has yet to make at least half of his field goals in a game, issuing nights of 6-of-23, 4-of-14, and 11-of-37 shooting along the way. Coincidentally, though, box scores have made Gay look bad many times already in the first 13 games of this regular season. Nevertheless, Gay's heart appears to be in the right place.
