Marc Gasol was the best center in the league a few years ago. However, injuries have slowed him down.

His injuries even caused him not to play in the Olympics this past summer for Spain.

Last season, he averaged 16.6 points per game, 3.8 assists and 7 rebounds.

He shot 46.4% from the field and 82.9% from the free throw line.

He’s a solid player, but it looks like the rest of the league has caught up.

He did have some spurts last season where he looked amazing.

But, he couldn’t quite string together enough of those elite level performances to get higher on this list.

Also, his field goal percentage, points per game, blocks per game, and rebounds per game were down last season from the previous year.
