Hi guys, this comes from a spanish newspaper. I thought you wanted to check this.

The catalonian is playing great with the GRIZZLIES, but thinks he still has lot of room to improve
MARC GASOL IS ON STAR NUMBERS SINCE MILICIC INJURY

Marc Gasol has became a reference for the Memphis Grizzlies.In a team where Rudy Gay & OJ Mayo absorb to much offensive game, the catalonian center gets more passes inside and is playing the pick and roll nicely. Because of that his rol in the NBA is getting bigger. "I don't think I'm doing nothing special", answers Marc to props. But since Milicic was injured against the Pacers, he averaged a star numbers of 14.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots.

"I do not know if I've taken a step forward or not, I just try to play well and help the team in all aspects of the game," said Marc Gasol to 'Commercial Appeal' in Memphis, when asked for his vital role in the team after injury Darko Miličić. Catalan averaging 11.4 points, seven rebounds and one blocked shot this year, but since the Serbian was injured against Indiana Pacers their numbers have grown 14,8 points, 8.4 rebs and 2.1 bs, star numbers.

"Nothing special"
Marc is removed from above praise. "I do not think I'm doing anything special. As I see it, I must improve in many things. If anything, I got more patience," he says. To his coach, Marc Iavaroni, "He learns new things every day. One night against Tim Duncan, another against Al Jefferson, the next one in front of Shaquille O'Neal. The other teams respect that he has no fear of contact," said the coach .

He is playing extremely well and this experience is exactly what he needs to take this team to the next level. Darko's return takes so much weight off of his shoulders though.
