Center

Marc Gasol (Spain)

Pau Gasol (Spain)

Steven Adams (New Zealand)

When healthy, Marc Gasol is arguably the best overall center in the NBA. It was just two years ago that Gasol brought home the defensive player of the year award and was one of the best players in the league. He now comes back full healthy as the cornerstone in Memphis.

His brother, Pau Gasol, would be right behind him after having an impressive Olympic tournament. Pau still gives opposing teams fits as he has a unique offensive game from all around the court. His offensive game and underrated defense would be a big part of this team off the bench.

Steven Adams beats out Andrew Bogut and Rudy Gobert as he continues his rise in the league. Adams gives you the toughness of Bogut with the agility of Gobert. He would be a little more mobile on both ends of the court than the Gasol brothers.
