I mean he could play C I suppose, but he ain't really a center


82 games has him net +16 at center (20.6 PER) and -170 at PF (18.3 PER) last season.

I'm just saying, he's 6'10-6'11 and he played PF this year. And he isn't exactly scaring people in the paint on defense.

Is that REALLY what we need right now? On a huge 4-5 year deal that will handcuff us even more financially

His numbers will be all over the place because of Detroit's lineups last year.


If he, Smith, and Drummond were all on the court at the same time, Monroe would be the 4 with Smith at the 3 and Drummond at the 5.

That lineup was godawful, like most predicted it would be, and his numbers at the 4 reflect it.


Also keep in mind that Drummond can rebound but is otherwise a work in progress.

I'll qualify this by saying that any "insider" will probably end up being wrong, as there is a month and a half before any trades can take place, right? So its almost futile at this point.

Monroe can definitely play Center next to the right PF and SFs. He is a scorer, but he is also a very good rebounder and screen setter. Terrible defender.

I definitely question the fit next to Davis (and Anderson).

But at this point, if you can turn Gordon into Monroe, you have to do it. Monroe would be able to be moved if its not the best fit.

IF they are able to keep Anderson, Morrow, and sign a legit DEFENSIVE/3 Point shooting SF...

Jrue
Reke
3&D SF
Davis
Monroe

Some bench combo of:
Rivers
Anderson
Ajinca
Morrow

That is pretty goddamned solid.

You could also get a guy like Webster to play SF. While he isn't a good Defender, you would definitely be a run and gun team at that point.
