I can guarantee his comment was based more on the fact that You said he can be much better than Hibbert. Monroe will never have close to the defensive impact Hibbert has on a game, and offensively they're practically equals. In fact I would even say that Hibbert is the better offensive threat with the combination of his size and ability to at least take and make the occasional outside shot. He's just on a team where there are better offensive weapons so that isn't his focus.

With all that being said, if the best Joe can get for Monroe is wack ass Porter or very mediocre sf's like Ariza or Webster then he either need to give Monroe the max or beat it cause he's lost any ability to operate in his position with any sense of competency.

Don't worry breh, it's almost Beal season.

I never said he was better. I said he CAN be even better than Hibert. It's just that Monroe's athleticism makes him such a gem tho.
And Hibert doesn't have a jumpshot. Just a decent back to the basket game with short hooks around the rim that he developed the past few years. If Monroe could do the same and add the fact that he's more athletic than Hibert gives him a higher ceiling
Are you sure you're not talking about Drummond? Monroe and athleticism is damn near an oxymoron. And I completely understood what you said. Monroe can add another 5 years of seasoning to his game and he still won't have a 10th of the defensive impact Hibbert has. Also Hibbert does have a little decent jumpshot, but he hasn't been using it as much lately with the team primarily having him operate almost exclusively in the paint. He's had a solid lil j since Georgetown, where they primarily had him orchestrating things around the elbow in that Princeton offense.

get beal and move KCP to SF

WAS get ready for non-existent defense and a constant stream of "and wannnnn" whenever he drives to the hoop and then after he misses, he'll stare at the ref and be late getting back on defense because he acts entitled like he is actually a superstar

also get ready for no jumper, you need to play him at C not PF if you want to get the most out of his skillset

Giving up on him this early? Y'all know @KBadd gonna take a flamethrower to this thread right?
he'll be happy that Greg is coming home. He will be fine.

(not really giving up on Porter, but instead saying Monroe is a better player now and probably will be in the future)

Hibbert isn't seeing Monroe offensively, and vice versa defensively. Hibbert is a tab bit overrated defensively imo, dude is just big as hell and that helps him out a lot.
