I like Monta. In 2008, he was a beast. But since then... I reserve judgement. Especially because of his team this year. He's a young player, so I'm not going to say that he's always going to put up those kinds of numbers for the rest of his career. Judging a younger player off of one good year, before a major injury for that matter, isn't something I like to do. He's also got the 'one good player surrounded by scrubs'-syndrome going on - If his stats weren't inflated by Nellie-ball before, they definitely were when he was surrounded by d-leaguers and asked to play 40+ per game. Its also pretty clear that GS overvalues him as well. Any sane team would've shipped him out for Mayo in a heartbeat.
He can't shoot the three, he can't defend, he can't distribute the ball. In what way would he help our team again? We've already got scoring with amazing efficiency from 15 ft and in by Wallace. Jack jacks up enough bad shots for the entire roster to feel content. Tyrus is our resident headcase. Adding Monta wouldn't do anything for this team, at least not with Larry Brown at the helm. If Larry were to leave however, I may have a different opinion.
Monta would be a great fit in a lot of places. Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, Indiana.... Just don't see how anything about him would help the current Bobcats squad lead by LB.
