Has anyone seen Pau Gasol's brother play?? This guy is 7 feet, and absolute beast, he is huge Im telling you. Good passer like his bro, but he is a terrible athlete. Can't really jump, and has no elevation on his jumper. He boxes out well, and uses his mad size advantage well as well. Good post up player. IMO he has the potential to be better than his brother, just needs to work out abit better. Looks like a well rounded Ronny Turiaf if you ask me.
I saw him play in highschool...he completely sucked ass. On the Euroleague show, they said hes a less athletic Nick Collison type of player. He'll never be better than Pau, Pau us a underrated ahtlete...and you said yourself Marc is a terrible athlete. For the reason alone he wont be better.
It's hard to judge a guy that you've never seen play....I could re-phrase everything from his NBADraft.net profile....but I won't. RaptorsFan, you've never even seen this guy and your saying he has more potential then brother? Come on.

Tall, but that's about it. Didn't seem to have good moves with the ball. He's not athletic, looked overweight and winded running down the court. I can't see him as an NBA player.

He's not worth it. You can get a steal at any time in this draft. I would pass on him.I just noticed that all the prospect topics are pretty much NBADraft.net repeating
From looking at the video, the competition doesn't look very strong, he has a tree-trunk thick body with short arms. Not quick running the floor but it's not too bad, can score inside...nothing really stuck out from the video...who knows.

Stop acting like you know anything about basketball, and stop being an ass. Hes European, theres limited footage of him. I got the chance to watch him play a couple of games.
Eh he doesn't look that great from the youtube video, but then again you usually can't tell much about a player from a youtube video, so you never know.

Doesn't make much sense to me.

Something his brother possesses and star players need to excel in this game nowadays. So it made no sense to him and I agree.

I told you guys he would come around...and like I've said...he has great shotblocking instincts.</div>As for Marc and Pau. Marc has the size advantage over Pau. Marc is just as good passer and scorer and he can score around the bucket. Pau is better athletically but he is no Lebron James. Marc can shoot the 3 as well as Pau. Marc just lacks the quickness to be a decent scorer. This I think he will be forced to develop as soon as he gets in the NBA.And Rok, Why do you have to nitpick everything I say? You always take apart every thing I post and make sure you fully make me look like an idiot, whats the deal?
Andrea Bargnani's shot blocking skills had been noted in scouting profiles and noted by me in the videos I'd seen him in. The more minutes he gets added with more experience, the more his shotblocking numbers will go up.
