Marc Gasol To Play In The NBA This Coming Season!

[Sparegeez]

lol at thinking if a player is taken in the second round he'l never be good, shits happened countless times where a bona fide star has been drafted late.

Find a quote in this thread that says he will be garbage.

I'm just saying there is a very good chance Marc Gasol won't be as good as his brother

He was good for a rookie...and also, he was a shooting guard in a point guards body. Marc Gasol is huge! An inch taller than his bro and way bulkier.

^correct me if im wrong, so the lakers had the rights to marc gasol, but the rights where transfered to the grizzlies with his brothers trade to the lakers?

Correct.

isn't marc potential to become bigger then pau? i mean dude's only 23, 5 years younger than pau. He would be better as a future all-star don't you think?

you never know, it could be a possibility
but the Lakers want to win now, and parting with him was probably ok because of Bynum

[Turf Hitta]

He's gunna be good.

Rudy Fernandez > Marc Gasol!

Nah... He would have been a 1st rounder if that were true.

He would be a first rounder if he were drafted this year...he's bigger and stronger than Pau. I think he's gunna be the next big from overseas to have success in the NBA.

Basically it was been a masterpiece by Mitch Kupchak (i told ya he can draft!). When he drafted him, Marc was still too raw, so much that i didn't like the pick at all. His numbers were not solid at all, and he probably wasn't even the best C in his team. He was averaging 10 ppg and 5 rebounds in 23 minutes per game, when Mitch drafted him. And he was nothing but a mediocre player, to be honest with you. So much that people in Europe was making fun of the Lakers drafting him ("there are tons of players better than Marc!"). But this year he stepped up, averaging 16 ppg and 8.3 rebounds in 33 minutes per game, playing regularly for the Spanish national team and even playing in the European All Star game. Now yes, he's viewed as a great prospect and i'm sure he'd be an high 1st rounder this year.

But i think any team who wants to sign him has to pay his Cibona club the buy-out. Like Houston did with Scola.

^It was the same thing with Pau...he averaged like 4 points and 2 rebounds in his first season with his Spanish team! LOL

Yeah. But to tell you the truth i wasn't expecting Marc to be that good. While i knew Pau was good.

^Even last year, I saw many flashes of Pau in his game...I had lots of faith in him from the moment I started researching his game.

sure, and only 8 of the Chicago White Sox got banned in the black sox scandal, but the team is still refered ot as the black sox


dirk is a GREAT, AMAZING competitor from game 1 to 82, but he does not have the mental strength to carry a team as a #1 player, he folds under pressure alot.

gasol can't even be a #2 let alone #1.

steve nash played with a bloodied nose, that was pretty respectable.
