Raptors give Greg Monroe one-year deal, add depth in the middle

The Toronto Raptors have decided to fill one of their last two roster spots with a veteran big man.

According to league sources and a series of internet reports, the team will add 28-year-old Greg Monroe on a one-year deal for the coming season.

Greg Monroe, right, averaged 10.3 points and 6.9 rebounds while playing about 20 minutes per game for three NBA teams last season.

Think Jared Sullinger Redux, an inexpensive veteran from whom not much is expected but someone who will have to carve out a spot in the rotation. It is a sensible gamble for the 2018-19 season.
