Greg Monroe coming to New Orleans has floated on the internet for years. A graduate from Helen Cox High School on the Westbank, Monroe has made it no secret that he would like to come home to the Crescent City and pair up with Anthony Davis in the front court. Most recently on The Lowe Post ESPN’s Marc Stein said he thinks Monroe would prefer to come to New Orleans.
There was a time when I was not just on board with the idea of Greg Monroe in a Pelicans uniform but actively driving the train. At the time, June 2014 to be precise, Monroe was seen as miscast as a power forward with the Detroit Pistons while Andre Drummond manned the center spot.
