Greg Monroe racking up double-doubles like it’s his job (which it sort of is)

By • 12:12 pm • March 24, 2011

Greg Monroe has so many double-doubles this season, the last time a Piston bested his single-season total, Detroit won a franchise-high 64 games. Yeah, those days feel like forever ago.

With 14 points and 12 rebounds against the Heat last night, Greg Monroe posted his 17th double of the season. That gives him the most double-doubles by a Piston since the 2005-06 season, when Chauncey Billups had 27 double-doubles and Ben Wallace had 17.

Monroe was previously tied with Antonio McDyess (16 double-doubles in both 2008-09 and 2007-08) and Chauncey Billups (16 in 2006-07).

The data comes from Basketball-Reference.com, which provides game information only since 1986-87.

In that span, no Pistons rookie has posted more double-doubles than Monroe has this season. Grant Hill held the previous high with 11 in 1994-95.

The Pistons still have 11 games left, so Monroe will likely notch another double-double, which would give him the most point-rebound double-doubles since Rasheed Wallace had 24 in 2004-05. Monroe has an outside chance of passing Sheed, but he won’t top Ben Wallace’s 34 point-rebound double-doubles in 2003-04.

Monroe’s 17 doubles tie him for the 34th most by a Piston in a season since 1986-87. With a double-double in all 11 of Detroit’s remaining games, Monroe would rank 17th. Considering he’s gotten a double-double in about a quarter of his games – albeit, more often recently – Monroe getting three more and ranking 31st probably presents a more realistic scenario.

To see a complete list of how many double-doubles Piston players posted in each of the last 26 years, see below the jump.

    Well done, Mr. Feldman! Maybe you’ve already tackled this topic in a previous post, but what about all-time (or at least since 86-87) Pistons triple-doubles??

    BOLD LOGICAL PREDICTION: Greg Monroe moves into 4th place in double-doubles/season with 41 in 2011-12.

      I’ll take the under on that. But I think Greg Monroe will become the next Piston with a triple-double.

    It seems like a pretty good chance that Monroe will make the All-Rookie 1st team – he’s consistently been in the top 5 on various rookie rankings for a while. Who was the last Piston to make the 1st team? Was it Grant Hill when he was co-rookie of the year? I know we’ve had some 2nd teamers – Jonas, Stuckey, even Carlos Delfino right? Just wondering.
