This isn't true though. I can't say I have studied his game more anything. But he is ranked 46th in the NBA in defensive win shares. That's 46th out of the 485 players ranked(Tim Hardaway jr is ranked 484th). And is only .1 from being comparable to a Jimmy Butler. He also hold s a 103 defensive rating which is pretty good.

Then you look at his passing potential, rebounding, and back to basket game and the fact that he is only 24 yrs old. 16-18 foot jump shot can be developed.

I can see him going to a better situation then Detroit and blossoming and getting really good by the time he turns 28.

Plus he has been pretty durable for the most part. There are a lot of positive signs.

His defensive win shares are higher then Blake Griffen, Jonas Valanicuas, Hassan Whiteside, Nikolie Vucevic, Faried, Kante, Howard, Robin and Brook Lopez and many more.

This is not accurate at all. He's an average defender at worst

his defensive dashoard on nba.com shows that he is a slightly below avg defender. I think his offense and rebounding can make up for that. Who knows he is still young maybe he can continue to get better as a defender?

I am warming up to Monroe. He's just not my 1st choice and hopefully not at a max contract

There's more to the picture than singling out one aspect and trying to make that a reason not to get a player. Monroe is a top PF and he's young.

Greg Monroe an underrated defender

Slow-footed. Not athletic enough. Poor defensive awareness. Below-average shot blocker. Greg Monroe has heard it all before. Even when he was playing college hoops, the New Orleans native was already well aware of what was being said of his defensive ability. Since his arrival in the NBA, the soft spoken center has shed a few of the negative tags that followed him into the League, and built upon his tantalizing offensive skill set. However, five years into his career, questions are still being asked about his seeming lack of defensive skills, but his new coach wants to set the record straight, per The Detroit News' Vincent Goodwill:

"I think Greg's actually pretty good defensively," Van Gundy said. "I've thought that all year. He's a very good low post defender, in my opinion. And he's a smart defender. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes [...] His mental approach and ability makes him a solid defender."

Although he is somewhat slow-footed, Monroe, like the Moose, is a solid and wide player, who doesn't often get beat on the low block - due mostly to his positioning. Whilst he doesn't block many shots (0.6 BPG for his career), he has quick hands and looks to strip opponents when they drive to the basket, evident in his 1.6 steals per game. Defensive basketball IQ and positioning are hard statistics to quantify, Monroe has often been relied on to guard opposing centers when Andre is unable to. The 24 year-old Georgetown product knows he lacks the athleticism to soar above the rim and swat shots, but relies on his positioning, size and his knowledge of his opponents to keep players away from their favorite scoring areas.

Grantland's Zach Lowe, like Van Gundy, also praised the bigman's defensive energy, pointing out that Monroe is an especially good pick-and-roll defender. Greg has a career 106 Defensive Rating. For comparison, fellow Pistons Andre Drummond and Joel Anthony boast ratings of 102 and 104 respectively, while last year's Defensive Player of the Year, Joakim Noah defended his way to a 96 rating. If those numbers prove anything, it is that Monroe isn't a total defensive liability as some would lead you to believe, but an unheralded defender who knows how to hold his ground.
