The other Gasol, Marc is the younger brother of Pau Gasol. He is one of the best big men in the NBA right now. The perfect modern day big, Gasol is capable of scoring inside and outside, and also defending and passing. Marc has been a key component of the most successful era in Memphis as they reached the Western Conference Finals in 2013 and have been a perennial playoff team for much of his career.
Marc was initially drafted by the Lakers in 2007 but was traded away to the Grizzlies in what at the time looked like an incredibly one-sided deal in favour of the Lakers. The Lakers gave up Marc and a few other fringe players for his brother Pau. In retrospect, however, it seems the deal sort of evened out as Marc ended up becoming one of the cornerstones of the franchise.
