C • 6’11, 265 lbs; 10th year, Georgetown
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: OFFENSIVE-MINDED PIVOT
Greg Monroe’s an adept, scoring big with a diversified skill set in the paint – makes quick, direct movements…before you know it, he’s sealed off, established position and gotten to his ideal spot; super strong, lefty force: capable off the catch or after getting ideal position down low; Monroe can set the tone w/ easy buckets: accurate w/ short hooks, crafty w/ spins, up & unders; very strong scorer & rebounder but Monroe’s inconsistent defense and lack of consistent playmaking (once he catches it deep, the ball’s going up) has held him back from reaching the next level; signed w/ Wolves after strong G League stint (2022) – Monroe provides depth & a veteran presence on the glass outta unit #2
