Lets be honest, last season was really weird. It went from “Welp, let’s burn this whole thing down and start fresh” to “We look unstoppable right now” on a game-by-game basis. The Memphis Grizzlies’ roster was void of consistent playmakers so Mike Conley and Marc Gasol stepped up to fill those roles. Conley’s transformation was amazing. He was finally the player we all knew he could be. Marc’s transition was… a bit misguided.
Please Marc, never again think it’s ok to be 7-foot tall and not rebound the basketball.
The Transition That Changed Everything
Last season, Gasol transformed more into the player that he wanted to be rather than the player the team needed.
