Fantasy Analysis
Monroe went through a little three-game scoring slump back in early April, but has quickly been able to right the ship. The 21-year-old has put together a solid sophomore campaign for the Pistons as he is averaging 15.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals thus far. What is even more encouraging for Fantasy owners is Monroe told reporters that he will spend the offseason working on his post game as well as his defense. That could lead to even more production for Monroe, who will be a No. 1 Fantasy center heading into the 2012-13 campaign. Leave him active in all formats for the remainder of this season.

One of the few bright spots for the Pistons during the 2010-11 season was the emergence of rookie Greg Monroe. After cracking the primary rotation on January 4 with a 14-and-11 effort at the Lakers, he went on to average 12.0 points and 9.1 rebounds in 48 starts. Expect the new coaching staff in Detroit to use him in a similar role this season, making that type of production a possibility to expect out of the gate. Owners in category leagues can also benefit from over a steal per game and a high shooting percentage, but be aware of his poor free-throw shooting. Consider him a solid choice beginning in Round seven of any standard Head-to-Head points format, though he is likely to be drafted in the later rounds in Rotisserie play. (Updated 8/28/11)
