The most annoying thing about following the Pistons lately has been the debate about whether Greg Monroe, one of two good NBA players the team has had over the last five seasons, was a poor fit.
Monroe was the best player on the team from the moment the Pistons drafted him, and was the second best player on the team from the moment they drafted Andre Drummond. After Monroe? There’s a wiiiiiiiiiide gulf in talent and that — not Monroe’s “fit,” or defensive abilities, or lack of athleticism, or whether he’s a center or a power forward — has been the sole reason the Pistons have been a bad team throughout his entire career.
