      Exactly, had he been drafted 10 years earlier, extended his range out to the three-point line or become a better/more versatile defender then he would still be in the NBA.
      They play more of a physical, traditional game inside in Europe & he'd dominate in China, so his career won't likely end anytime soon.

      He is really underperforming. Bayern had hopes for Euroleague Playoffs bringing a lot of ex NBA players, instead they are one the worst teams in the whole league, especially defensively. They were doing relatively bad even in the German League. Monroe against the good Euroleague teams often disappeared and was very detrimental on defense. Him and Booker are a nightmare defensive duo. He could flourish in a different team, but it is hard because the game in Europe is going really small and really fast paced for the last 8 years or so. Maybe China would be a better fit for him.

    That assessment of Josh Smith's game was just over the top Andy, come on... He was signed, coming off his best 2 seasons as a pro, averaging 18/9 on a playoff team that emphasized passing and teamwork, being one of the most versatile defenders in the league (being top 10 in DPOY race is not THAT impressive, but still, it says something about his defense), being a pretty nice passer, and up to that point in his career, although still inefficient, he would typically finish season shooting from high 40's from the field (and 50-ish percent TS%), which i guess led them to believe that, with age, he would be more disciplined and stick to his strengths. Had he played 4 as he should've, i do believe he actually would've paired quite well with both Drummond and Monroe, but alas, we got to watch the Death lineup. To be fair though, it's not like the frontcourt was the only issue, Jennings and KCP were both terrible shooters in their own rights, Jennings being a big time shot chucker, and generally having subpar IQ offensively, while KCP was a rookie and took him some time to get used to NBA 3, on top of being inconsistent as hell.

    Man he just needed that outside shot and he would've remained useful in Toronto. The Raps could've used his rebounding prowess this year so it's sad to see that he's gone. His speed isn't necessarily the biggest issue as both Ibaka and Gasol are slow-footed. The difference though is that both of them have an outside shot, can defend (Ibaka more than Gasol), and can facilitate (Gasol).

    I always thought that the reason why he didn't succeed was because his style of play practically died because of the rise of the 3 point shot and stretching the floor

    Great Content, well produced video and thorough basketball opinions @AndyHoopsVT. My question about this Greg Monroe topic is if a Greg Monroe( Caliber-player, ie Jahlil Oakfur, Al Jefferson) has shown to be super talented at basketball and even productive at a professional level of basketball what responsibility for his and those Detroit teams lack of success fall upon poor coaching or the inability of those head coaches and coaches' philosophy to put Monroe and the talent of those Detroit Pistons in position to be successful??

    The problem with Monroe was that he was a traditional old school back to the basket, post up, tough physical in the paint center with tremendous rebounding. Unfortunately with the way the game evolved you had to have your center space the floor and be able to shoot. That was not Monroe’s game at all. And when the pistons drafted Drummond in 2012 who was another hard nosed center with tremendous rebounding ability, Monroe was kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place because the pistons had to play him at PF instead of his traditional position at C. And because of this he suffered greatly.

  • @davidparedes3377

    I still don't understand this NBA's "new era": Monroe has no fit in this league anymore, but players like D'Andree Jordan, Clint Capella, despite both don't even know how to grab the ball in order to shoot, and Joel "turnover" Embid, are "elite centers". Just because they are "athletics"?! Come'on! These kind of players have the lowest basketball IQ that I ever seem.

    These days nba adapts the euro style of play. Most of their bigmans can shoot outside especially in the three point arc, can pass, can guard point guards and shooting guards during the switch can dribble the ball and can run quickly for the fastbreaks and can get an alley oops. Gone are the days of low post centers and slow footed bigman because of the modernized way of plays.
