MonroeWatch 2K10: Monroe Climbs to 5th in Latest ESPN Mock Draft

Per ESPN's super top-secret VIP undercover insider section!

PICK TEAM PLAYER VITALS

Sacramento

Greg Monroe

Position: PF
Height: 6-11
Weight: 247
Age: 19
School: Georgetown

Analysis: Last year it took us until the day of the draft to nail this pick for the Kings and I have a feeling it's going that direction again this year.

I don't have a good feel for which way the Kings are leaning. That's partly because the Kings play things close to the vest. It's also because there is no consensus player at No. 5. On talent, it's DeMarcus Cousins all the way if he's still available. But Cousins makes some teams wary, and I'm told the Kings are among those teams that, for the moment, are unsure.

That leads us to Monroe. He has the talent and size to be a legit NBA center. He's the best passer in the draft and is offensively gifted. He takes games off on occasion and lacks a killer instinct, but the talent is there.

The fact that a number of veteran NBA GMs have compared him to Vlade Divac shouldn't hurt.

Can we just get this Draft over with already?

I have like 3 episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey to catch up on.

between that gangster's moll

and the living-large-while-bankrupt one – they ain’t nuthin but classy.

The Countess could teach them a thing or two – remember, elegance is learned.
