Pistons’ Greg Monroe ready for a breakout year

Who says that the NBA isn’t a big man’s league anymore? Sure the league is no longer filled with the 20-10 big men that used to own the hardwood but there are still plenty of good centers in the league today and the Detroit Pistons’ Greg Monroe is one of them.
