Milwaukee Bucks power forward Greg Monroe went toe to toe in practice every day with his former Detroit Pistons teammate Andre Drummond. Now that Monroe has left Detroit and Drummond has become the team's centerpiece, Monroe is hardly surprised that the center is leading the NBA in rebounding.
"He's always been an outstanding rebounder," Monroe said Monday morning before he faced his former team for the first time in the regular season. "He was getting 20 rebounds when I was there. Ersan (Ilyasova) is kind of a different rebounder than me, so it's not surprising."
Monroe's new team, the Bucks, took down the Pistons Monday night by the score of 109-88.
