“The other big man regaining favor with NBA GMs and scouts is Georgetown’s Greg Monroe. I wrote last week about why I felt Monroe might end up getting drafted higher than people thought. Apparently many GMs agree with me. I spoke with a number of people drafting in the mid-to-late lottery, and they told me they would seriously consider Monroe. Although his motor is a question mark, he has too many skills in the post to ignore. He has moved all the way up to No. 10 on our Big Board.”
Chad Ford is an ESPN.com analyst specializing in the NBA Draft. He also recently said on his twitter: “I think Cousins may end up going No. 2, & I don’t think Monroe slips past Utah (via Knicks) in lottery.” FYI: Utah owns the Knicks’ lottery pick. If the season ended today they would most likely have the 8th pick. Monroe on the Jazz? Yuck.
