Ironically, I think a lot of his shots are getting blocked because he worries that if he makes a quick move, it will get blocked then. In reality, he's giving defenders time to recover. He's just not playing instinctively on offense yet. He'll come around though. @oracle:

Maybe he's learning that from Ben. :) @kmula

It might only be a minor injury but who's to know that it was only the pistons front office that spun it to only be 'minor'. Tyson Chandler had a similar injury and it took him a while before he could get it better. Monroe isn't the most athletic player but maybe this is what is hindering the little athleticism that he does have. Also your shooting motion starts from the feet up so this could explain why he is struggling to get his shot off at the moment. I might be wrong but it could be a factor in why he is getting so many shots blocked.

He has no explosion, no real hops, so he will have to be able to muscle through contact to finish. He is much better facing the basket and is very unsure of himself  with his back to the basket right now. Guards read him easily and rip him when he goes up or when he tries to put the ball on the floor. But he will be fine. He will be a nice player. did any of you enjoy watching that first quarter last night as much as i did? What a clinic. First LAL can down early and took the long jumper stretching the Pistons defense vertically. Then they went to Kobe on the wing stretching the Pistons defense horizontally. Then after it was nice and soft, the went into the middle to Gasol & Odom. It was a preplanned clinic. and on D??? The Lakers are on another level . Detroit actually did not move the ball that badly. LA just rotated all night. They have another gear beyond the Pistons best effort. I'll be surprised if it is not LA against Boston for the Title again.
