As I do often, I didn't explain what I was thinking very well. I meant more that he doesn't have good moves, good combinations, etc. The types of things that can be improved a lot and "polished".
I personally think of ball handling, court vision and shooting in a different category because it is difficult to see large growth in those areas at the college level. Greg is obviously a great passer and ball handler for his size (I would also describe his shot as passable). I meant more that a large majority of his scoring is coming from running the floor, putbacks, and dunking around the basket... Not from post moves or taking people off the dribble, which is something that you CAN learn at the college level.

I can buy that, although as Kenner went on he did show a better variety of post moves, including some spins and hooks with both hands.

Just to add a little something, I am not aware of Monroe ever saying he planned to be or wanted to be "one and Done". All I've seen in his quotes are comments about education being important to him. And as I think we've said before, if you're one-and-done you don't select Georgetown. Greg's not going anywhere. He's here to learn on and off the court. Agreed. That being said, from what the articles have said about how hard / much Greg's mom works, it'll be hard to fault him if he is high draft pick and chooses to go pro.
