He's making that top 5 player jump.

I don't really have a definitive top 5, given that it's always interchangeable (except for Bron and Durant). But AD, Curry and Gasol have been the best players this season. Seriously the only thing stopping Gasol from being a top 5 player was his aggressiveness on the offense end. Dude is arguably the best defensive anchor in the league, one of the best passing bigs, he just needed to up his scoring output, which he has done so far this season. He doesn't have any weaknesses in his game.
who is your top 5?

@houston911 he''s the only big man you can run the offense through. 
people talk about noah passing but he can't see gasol. i'm a huge gasol fan, top 5 just sounds
you taking gasol over cousins and dwight?
he's def the most offensively advanced big man, just doesnt put up the same rebounding numbers as the other centers
if memphis add another scorer they can win it all

Spencer Hawes as a backup big in the playoffs is detrimental by the way

Yeah I'd put Gasol just ahead of Noah in the passing department. Yeah this version of Gasol is better than both Cousins and Dwight.people talk about noah passing but he can't see gasol. i'm a huge gasol fan, top 5 just sounds

He has lower rebounding numbers because he boxes out to clear the way for his team to grab them or he's outside the paint hedging or providing help defense. The Grizzlies would be less effective on defensive if he focused more on rebounding. They've always been middle of the pack in boards, but always been the best or top 5 in defense when he plays.
