Remember the Spurs Twin Tower of David Robinson and Tim Duncan ?
Well then, expect that Memphis Grizzlies to match or surpass the Twin Tower combination this season with the arrival of two seven footer in the person of Marc Gasol and Iranian Hamed Haddadi.
We all know that the younger brother is also a towering Guy, although he seems to be more stronger and wide bodied compared to Pau.
If you've seen the Olympics, you probably see the power of Marc Gasol. Flexing his muscle way inside the paint is a tough task but Marc seems not bothered at all whoever was in front of him, whether it be Dwight Howard or Chris Bosh.
Another Big Guy who was quite impressive in the Olympics was Iranian Hamed Haddadi.
The 7-foot-2, 254-pound Haddadi led all Olympians in Beijing in rebounding (11.2) and blocks (2.6) while averaging 16.6 points in five games for Iran, which did not advance to the medal round. Haddadi, who was not selected in the 2004 NBA Draft, drew the interest of several NBA teams when the Iranian team competed against NBA teams this summer in Utah.
The Iranian team tops the Asian Qualifying because of this Guy.
Now if Darko Milicic won't be traded to other team, they'll be having a Triple Tower combination.
But there is a downside here, if they use all the three players at the same time, they;ll be slower, which is why I think Milicic will be traded.
There are rumors that he'll be traded to the New York Knicks.
Expect the Grizzlies to barge in the playoff this coming season.
