Marc Gasol is shooting 34.4-percent from the field. Let’s rephrase that: The Toronto Raptors 6-foot-11 center, Marc Gasol is shooting 34.4-percent from the field. Included in that, he's shooting a paltry 31.7-percent on 2-pointers. Almost diametrically opposed, he shoots 36.6-percent on 3-pointers! By all shooting accounts, his scoring within the arc has been putrid, dismal, dire, and basically any other abhorrent adjective you can conceive.
And, somehow, he’s still starting. So, what gives?
Obviously, he’s doing things that are helping the team win. Besides, the team is 15-6 overall, so he can’t be a zero all around.
