Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - The Memphis Grizzlies signed Spanish center Marc Gasol, the club announced Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Gasol, the 2008 Most Valuable Player in the Spanish ACB League, is the younger brother of NBA player Pau Gasol. Pau is Memphis' all-time leading scorer, but was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers this past season.
Marc has spent the last five seasons in the Spanish ACB league, and earned the MVP in 2008 after averaging 16.2 points and 8.3 rebounds.
"Marc is a very skilled center in terms of his shooting and passing, possesses outstanding toughness, and is a winning, team-oriented player. He has done a remarkable job transforming his body. Marc is one of the premier players in Europe," Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said.
