I was against this move for a long time but I can kinda see this working very well for us. Yes we do need a defensive minded center but doesn't half the league??
Think about it we were pretty [dang] good defensively with KO/Bass/Sully and Zeller/Jerebko in the frontcourt last season because of our hounds on defense (Smart, Bradley, Crowder)
Now I know Monroe is not a great defender but Zeller and Jerebko are still worse than him on the defensive end plus Monroe gives us a go to scoring option and a rebounding presence every game. I would roll the dice on him I think he could be a great piece to add.
He can play back to the basket, can shoot mid range, not a shabby passer, can move pretty quickly for a big man, a better defensive center than we currently have, and is YOUNG!!!
Let's get him Danny
