NBA 2018-19: The top 10 international players 

#9 Marc Gasol

Memphis Grizzlies v Washington Wizards

Gasol was the only impact player on the Grizzlies not to miss major time last season, but with the team imploding around him, he played his fewest MPG since 2010-11 and turned in a career-low 42.0 field goal percentage as Memphis fell out of the playoffs for the first time in 8 years.

With running mate Mike Conley healthy again and an infusion of young talent, Gasol should be re-energized to return to form as one of the best defensive, passing and shooting big men in the NBA. His addition of a legitimate 3-point shot will serve him well in the twilight years of his NBA career, as the league moves more and more towards a perimeter-oriented offense.

Hopefully, the Grizzlies will be able to bring some of the old Grit n Grind magic back in an era that values 3-point shots more than effective post-up play.
