Perennially underrated and eternally counted out when we begin to talk of the game's elite players, Marc Gasol has quietly been putting up a solid season. The Grizzlies are currently proud owners of a 7-4 record and are looking good value for another season of playoff contention. With Mike Conley fit again and the likes of Casspi and Anderson integrating seamlessly, their big man rotation has been good enough to fend off playoff teams.

The likes of 76ers' Embiid, Nuggets' Jokic and Jazz's Gobert (twice) have had to eat humble pie when faced with Gasol. One of the reasons Gasol is still a top centre in the league today is his long-range shooting.

At 7 feet tall and a relatively quick release for a player of his size, Gasol is able to pop off onto the perimeter and hit shots, creating driving lanes for his teammates. This season, Gasol leads all centres in 3-point percentage, making a whopping 46.2% of his 3.5 attempts per game.
