Not an ideal fit, but I do think they could co-exist. Especially with Gregs passing ability.

but him not being able to stretch the defense out even 14 feet negates any positives.

hes much better suited for center.

The two of them with some actual 3-point shooting threats would be fine. We have none, however.

greg is an old-school back to the basket center. even with a third point shooter the two of them dont mesh.

they arent horrible, just not the best.

Defensively they do not fit.  Even at C, Monroe was slow footed and not all that effective defensively.  Now being asked to guard more athletic bigs, that's come to the forefront even more.  So you have to ask yourself, if you are pairing Monroe and Drummond, who's leaving the paint to guard at 16-18 feet?  Maybe Drummond could do it, or at the very least be more effective than Monroe, but then you're basically limiting the best part of who he is as a player.

Lance is a great player and he has definitely improved and will probably win it

But man, isaiah is ballin. No one ever thought he would be averaging 20 a game, same with AA
They deserve ot more than lance imo

Aflalo is even playing the same minutes and taking the same amount of shots, yet upped his points by 4 per game, serious improvement
