Zach
The Grizzlies need 26-year old center Marc Gasol to step up due to the injury to Zach Randolph, and he has been doing exactly that.  Gasol has played in 6 games (all starts) for the Grizzlies so far this year and he is averaging 34.8 minutes, 12.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocked shots per game.  He is shooting 54.9% from the floor with most of his shots coming in close to the basket.  They are going to need Gasol to keep providing a lot of muscle in the paint until Zach Randolph returns to action and he’s more than capable of doing exactly that.
