It's like Marc Gasol is having a breakthrough season every season. Already highly regarded both in International basketball and in the NBA since he started his career, he's getting better and better every year and Pau's young brother is now a feared player. With Pau having sat out last summer in Turkey, Marc took over with the National Team at the FIBA World Championship and, then, had a very solid season with the Grizzlies and a fantastic NBA play-offs, where he destroyed the San Antonio Spurs in the first round and pushed the Oklahoma City Thunder to the limit, with 20 points and 20 rebounds types of performances. Physically dominating, and gifted with terrific hands that enable him to hit perimeter jumpers, Marc is a pure center and a perfect complement to Pau's finesse. An expert for drawing fouls, he is a threat on the charity line.
