Player Profile: Greg Monroe - PF

Greg Monroe
Helen Cox '08
PF - 6'10 - 235 lbs
Plays Like: Chris Bosh, LaMarcus Aldridge
Committed To: Georgetown

Has a very developed face-up game in the post, which compliments his nice mid-range shot. He has extremely polished ball-handling skills for a power forward. Great passer for a big man. Also has a very developed body with a long wingspan. Physically, he is ready for the college, but needs to put on more weight for the pros. Can be very effective on the high post.

Like many young players, his work ethic has been questioned. He is a mediocre free throw shooter, but is capable of a better percentage at the line because he shows nice shooting touch in actual game action. Some speculate that putting on muscle has slowed him down and restricted his ability to display athleticism, but he is still a solid athlete.
