2007 Pre-Draft Scouting Report by Matthew Maurer
Assets
Physically, Gasol has great upper body strength and like his brother has a great set of soft hands ... Does a great job of establishing himself in the post … Fundamentally he is as sound as they come in the post … Displays a rare combination of power and soft shooting touch … It is not uncommon for Gasol to overpower his man and then shoot the ball off the glass … Back to basket skills are quite advanced … Owns a good assortment of moves as he can shoot the jump hook, turnaround jumper plus spin off his man for the soft finger roll … Quality rebounder in his area who does a solid job of boxing out opposing players … Hard player to double team as he keeps the ball high and away from guards and has the court vision to quickly kick the ball out to open teammates … Enjoys physical contact in the lane where he does an excellent job of drawing fouls from opposing defenders … Shows the ability to absorb contact and finish with relative ease … Does a good job of denying his man position in the post … Intelligent player with a great work ethic to improve.
Liabilities
Unlike Pau, Marc is a below average athlete ... Heavy legged player who will need to improve his foot speed to play in the NBA … Lacks fluidity in his movements as he is a bit mechanical … Must continue to work on conditioning his body as he appears to be carrying a little extra weight … A focus on strength training could improve his overall mobility greatly … Lacks the explosiveness to be even a decent shot blocker at the NBA level … Not a very good rebounder out of position, as he possesses below average lateral quickness … Post defense has improved greatly this year but still struggles when having to guard top athletes … Offensively his execution in the post is slow which allows opposing defenders to recover quickly, must learn to make moves more decisively … Can be a little foul prone … Not a great help defender by any means as he is often late on the play … Even though Gasol is a late bloomer who has yet to reach his potential he’s made big strides in the past year …
