Toronto Raptors - Marc Gasol (Steve Russell/Toronto Star via Getty Images)
With Marc Gasol’s decision to go back home and play in Spain, it seems appropriate to look back on all the reasons he was a valuable piece to the 2018-2019 Toronto Raptors.
Before Marc Gasol, there was Jonas Valanciunas. The Lithuanian big man was always a fan favourite, and for years he manned the paint for the Toronto Raptors, often being a bright spot in terms of postseason offence. When Lowry and DeRozan would go cold, Jonas would get the team going near the bucket.
