10. Greg Monroe, Milwaukee Bucks
2014-15 Stats: 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds
Monroe has paid his dues in the NBA playing for the lowly Detroit Pistons throughout his career. He has managed to put up double-doubles on a consistent basis, but yet still goes unmentioned when whispers began about the top players at his position.
Last season, he finished with per game averages of 16/10, but the one knock on him is on the defensive end. Although, playing alongside a player like Andre Drummond on the back end, his defense didn’t need to be a vital part of his game. He now heads to Milwaukee, where he looks to be the missing piece to what everyone hopes will be the rebirth of Bucks basketball.
