Gray dictated the offense and tempo of play through elite ball control, quality court vision, and constant change of pace to create shot opportunities for teammates while executing the offense and keeping everyone involved.

[player_tooltip player_id='1583465' first='David' last='Coe'] never appeared rushed or out of control, consistently surveying the back line of the defense and making high level advanced reads, finding cutters, spotting open shooters, and delivering timely lob passes opposite the ball.
