Rudy Gay scored 21 points to lead five Memphis players in double figures and the Grizzlies blew out the listless Atlanta Hawks 96-77 Thursday night.
Marc Gasol's production took a step back in his third NBA season, returning to the level of his rookie season after enjoying some significant improvements in scoring and rebounds during the 2009-10 season. He is capable of being a mid-teens scorer who can provide around eight or nine boards per game, but the presence of Zach Randolph in Memphis caps what he might otherwise be able to offer. Count on his 2010-11 numbers as a lock, as long as he stays healthy. That would qualify him as at least a low-end No. 1 center option, as it did last season. And, at just 26 years of age, the possibility of a breakout season still remains a distinct possibility. (Updated 8/28/11)
