They already have great guards with Austin Freeman and Chris Wright. They fearlessly attack the basket and both have a nice jumper. If center Henry Sims continues to develop Greg Monroe and him could become an unstoppable frontcourt.
But none of that will matter if there is no Greg Monroe. He is what will make or break next season.
Here is a 6-10 250 man with a 7-2 wingspan who is big enough to back you down and drop in a nice little hook shot, fast enough and a good enough dribbler to blow by you and finish at the rim, or he can just pull up and drain a jumper in your face.
He is the second coming of Chris Webber.
An outstanding basketball mind, Monroe had few freshman mistakes last season. He is the best passing big man in the nation and one of the best passers for any position.
All of this makes him the perfect player to run the Princeton offense and after a year of learning he has a chance to lead the team in assists.
He needs to become a tougher rebounder if he wants to make his team a true contender. He seemed to shy away from contact down low opting to instead immediately turn to offense after an opposing team put up a shot.
They are one of the top free throw shooting teams in the country with an offense always attacking the basket. They already have two top hundred players for the 2010 recruiting class but this season is key.
If Georgetown struggles again this year questions will begin to come up.
“Is the dynasty over?”
“Should JT3 be out as coach?”
Only time will tell. But until, let the debates begin.
