11.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, those were Marc Gasol's numbers in his rookie season in the NBA, playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. Following his older brother Pau's path, Marc Gasol landed in Tennessee to become an important player for the Grizzlies. He is not the same kind of player as Pau as he has a bigger body and plays more close to the basket, like a pure old-fashion center. He is almost unstoppable in the lane, and can also take mid-range shots. He does not make many mistakes and has a great understanding of the game. A key role awaits him in EuroBasket 2009.
