The difference now for the Grizzlies' 6-8 forward could be the strength behind his words.

 

Gay carries, by his estimation, about 15 pounds of added muscle. He'll tell you his level of focus is immeasurable behind a strong showing during USA Basketball's July minicamp. His desire to elevate the Grizzlies is off the charts with training camp less than a month away and three consecutive losing seasons in the rearview mirror.

 

"I want to be an All-Star. Everything I do now is trying to help me get to that point," Gay said. "If I'm at the top of my game and recognized as an All-Star, it'll mean we're winning."

 

Having won over Griz brass with his offseason work ethic and maturation, Gay aims to carry that momentum into his fourth season. He's spent most of the summer in Memphis building up his body with the help of Griz strength and conditioning coach Jason Biles. Gay will play at more than 240 pounds this season.
