So Marc Gasol is the 3d best center in the NBA these days?

[Buzissa]

Most Valuable Player - Kevin Durant
Rookie of the Year - Kyrie Irving
Defensive Player of the Year - Serge Ibaka
Most Improved Player - Ryan Anderson
Coach of the Year - Gregg Popovich
Sixth man of the Year - James Harden

[wardjdim]

So Marc Gasol is the 3d best center in the NBA these days?

The other candidates stats-wise would be
Gortat (no playoffs)
Hibbert (clearly worse stats + Granger is already mentioned for the Pacers)
Monroe (far away from the playoffs)
Cousins (same to Monroe)
Noah (possibly the sole alternative. He's averaging 10.1ppg+9.8rpg, while Gasol is averaging 14.5+9.0+3.2apg)

I don't see anyone better than him, sorry. Let alone Memphis' good season, without Randolph in most of its part

[pohani komarac]

So Marc Gasol is the 3d best center in the NBA these days?

to me yes, and very good one. he is great on ofense and defense. memphis playing old schol basketball trough him, he is their key guy and on defense he is much better then hyped defender like deandre jordan

[CKR13]

Plus Marc Gasol defines consistency with his overall play. Very smart as well. Memphis survived the long absence of Zach Randolph because of Gasol's inside presence. Next is Tyson Chandler.
