Strengths: Crafty scorer. Can score well in the paint and from the elbows. Good jump shot. Decent court vision. Good defender that blocks shots. Good strength and a pretty good rebounder. Solid quickness for his size.
Weaknesses: Can be a bit sloppy with the ball. Might take some undesirable shots on the outside.
Scout's Take: Gasol comes in as one of the more polished players along with arguably one of the highest upsides. Scouts are excited about the prospects of a strong two-way big man who is looking to take his talents to the states after dominating the international scene. Likely #1 pick.

Strengths: Very talented scorer. Seemingly scores at will in the paint or from range. Very good jump shot. Excellent quickness. Should get a steal. Good strength for his size. Good athleticism.
Weaknesses: Perimeter defense is lacking. Handles need work but isn't a pass-first...
Resigned to a nice 1-year $13,650,000 contract. his turnovers have come way down and would benefit from playing at SG. looking to get younger. Would also add my own picks to him too for the right player.
