    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>1 Greg Monroe
    Harvey (LA) Helen Cox F 6-10/226 Georgetown
    Monroe, GregA smooth athlete at 6-foot-10, Monroe has an all around skill package that is only going to get better. The lefty has great court awareness and passes the ball extremely well. He is extending his shooting range and is developing scoring moves going to his right. When going to his left, he is a force. Strong on the boards and a shot blocking threat, Monroe also has the quickness to guard on the perimeter. A year younger than most prospects in his class, Monroe has an extremely high ceiling.

    John Riek is Greg Oden's dad. I swear.

    Riek at 5 is a joke, I am sorry.

    I still will take Jennings over any PG in that class, even Holiday.

    I hope Greg Monroe is truly a stud, and won't flop. I'm a big Georgetown fan, and I want to see this guy succeed and become a big time player - but I've seen a ton of negative reports lately regarding his work ethic and attitude. I think JT3 can straighten those issues out if Monroe is willing, but I hope he's not as hard-headed as some reports have made him sound.

    John Riek is horrible lol

    He's overrated because of his size and his team's success. His team has 8 of the top 100 seniors in the state. Enough said?

    Riek is pegged at #28 on the mock at draftexpress. I was sharing a good laugh about that with Kid Chocolate over AIM last week. Funny stuff.

    He's overrated because of his size and his team's success. His team has 8 of the top 100 seniors in the state. Enough said?</div>


    if he used some seasoning like Thabeet did in college, he night just turn into a solid prospect. Right now, i wouldn't touch him with a first rounder,
