It's always been said that Gay was the most talented player on the court whenever he stepped on the court, BUT, it all depended on how hard Gay wanted to work in order to be the best. He was accused of coasting while at the University of Connecticut, but it may have been because the game came so easy to Gay. After a bench role his rookie season in the NBA, it seems that Gay is "getting it" and using his talents and athletic ability to reach his upside. Gay is a player on the rise, which is appropriate considering he is one of the NBA's high fliers.
