Marc Gasol Player Outlook2018-2019
6 years agoMemphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol heads into the 2018-2019 season still performing well, but also on the wrong side of 30 years old. Gasol had a tumultuous season last year, averaging 17.2 points and 8.1 boards per outing in addition to 1.4 blocks. The red flag though is that he shot just 42 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range, two categories that are in need of improvement. Both of those averages were down, and Gasol's shooting percentages were the worst of his career in Memphis and also marks the third year in a row that Gasol has had a decline in that statistic. Grizzlies star caliber point guard Mike Conley comes back from injury, and the signing of free agent small forward Kyle Anderson will eat into Gasol's opportunities on the offensive end. Gasol should still be a quality fantasy option but people should temper their expectations.
