Toronto Raptors: How Marc Gasol Compares to Opponents in the East

At 7-foot-1, 255 lbs, Marc Gasol is a beast of an NBA player. The former Defensive Player of the Year has been the anchor near the rim for a number of stellar Memphis Grizzlies squads. While not the most agile, Gasol makes up for it with superb basketball IQ, timing and strength. The Toronto Raptors have added a very valuable piece at a critical position.

Gasol has avoided the pitfalls of other low mobility bigs by broadening his skill set. His first eight years in the league he never shot three-pointers. However, Marc has adapted and is shooting 34-percent in his last three seasons.
