Who will end up being the better player?I think it will be close even though I prefer Gasol over Okur.I think it is like okur's 4th season and gasol's 5th Gasol: 34.1 mpg 20.6 ppg 8.9 rpg 3.2 apg 2.3 bpg 3's 2/8 25% FG% 53.7% Okur:33.8 mpg17.9 ppg 7.5 rpg 1.9 apg .6 bpg3's 86/228 37.7%FG% 46.4%
It's easily Gasol imo. Okur is underrated, but he is more of a 2nd option type of player while Gasol is a franchise player. He's got a better all around game and also isn't perimeter oriented like Okur is.
Defiently Gasol, better passer, rebounder, defender,...the only thing Okur has on Gasol is range..and Gasol is pretty close. Not to mention Gasols inside game is tons better than Okur.
For me it's Gasol he is better in every aspect of the game then Okur besides the range. Okur typically goes from outside to inside where Pau Gasol bases his game inside and sometimes takes his mid range jumpshots. Gasol is a better interior defender and rebounder as well.

I think Okur's jumper is sweet and it's superior to Gasol's only because he shoots threes, but it's not like Gasol is a poor jump shooter. He knows his range and he sticks to that. Gasol's better than him in the other aspects of the game although Okur is constantly improving.
Gasol aint the MVP of the world championships for nothing. Heck he didnt even have to play in the championship game to be the MVP.
