After seeing Greg Monroe for only one game, I have already been more impressed by him than I was in 2 years of watching Macklin.
I suppose it would be nice to still have a big body around, especially as Monroe got himself in foul trouble in that first game and may be foul-prone - but that's pretty much all Macklin was: A big body. From what I can tell, we won't be missing him too much at all - and I definitely won't be missing his free throw shooting. There is nothing more infuriating to me than a high level basketball player who can't shoot free throws - it's probably a simplistic view, but to me FTs are all about practice, and to be so bad at them for so long speaks to a lack of discipline and work ethic.
And so, to summarize:
Monroe > Macklin

Wow. Way to go out on a limb!!
Vernon Macklin with a nude Megan Fox on his shoulders < Greg Monroe at this point
..ok that is a little extreme. Maybe with Duane Spencer on his shoulders?

This thread should really say Macklin vs. Vaughn
But to add to this, Jeff Green > Saed

Macklin (2009) > Macklin (2007,2008) If by this, you mean: Macklin in street clothes due to transfer > Macklin on the floor, ever... I agree
