25. player. 211. <p>With Marc Gasol and Kosta Koufos becoming free agents this summer, it would serve Memphis well to grab a big. Rakeem Christmas has the size of a four, but long arms and can score in the post (albeit only with one hand).</p> <p>He could probably play some minutes at each position, which would be big if they lose Gasol (unlikely) or Koufos (possibly). Gasol and ZBo are big enough threats that Christmas wouldn’t see a second big in the post, and he’s pretty mobile, allowing him to guard fours and be a serviceable rim protector.</p> <p>He would be an immediate contributor, something Memphis could use as they look to build a championship team.</p>. PF. Syracuse. Rakeem Christmas
