Espn insider article
Monroe was drafted seventh overall by Detroit in 2010, after earning third-team All-American honors at Georgetown. Monroe was seen as a slight underachiever as he entered the NBA, but within two months he began to play with purpose nightly. The results were obvious, as he finished 11th overall among the league's centers in PER (18.07), sixth in the NBA in field goal percentage, as well as grabbing the seventh most offensive rebounds in the league. This season he's improved dramatically, now ranking in the league's top 10 in PER while basically averaging a double-double. If his team was better he would be higher on this list, but it's clear that as Detroit rebuilds it will do so around Monroe in the pivot. Similar to: Alvan Adams
1. Kevin Durant
2.Derrick Rose
3.Kevin Love
4.Andrew Bynum
5.Blake Griffin
6.Russell Westbrook
7.Greg Monroe
8.James Harden
9.Kyrie Irving
10.John Wall
