PORTLAND – Stretching Marc Gasol outside the boundaries of his comfort zone has been a season-long, team-wide operation for the Grizzlies. The 32-year-old center has extended his shooting range beyond the three-point line for the first time and is producing the most prolific numbers of his career in that department. Having been appointed the Grizzlies’ sole captain by first-year coach David Fizdale, Gasol has been essentially forced to find his voice as a leader among a stubborn and prideful cast of veteran teammates. But the one thing that’s taken Gasol the longest to adapt to this season has been the Grizzlies’ collective push to keep the NBA’s most versatile center aggressively establishing his offense.
