Better shooter, less refined low post skills right now than monroe.

Should be quicker than monroe off the dribble, but isnt quite as big.

A better comparison IMO would be Thompkins from Georgia... but with better ball handling skills

No, they don't. Harris plays a hybrid SF/PF while Monroe is a pure Center.

Monroe is more of a tweener PF/C guy, but your point is still correct.

I mean monroe is an inch maybe two taller and they both have very good passing and ball skills and monroe is far from a pure center imo

Monroe has 3 inches and 30+ pounds on Harris. Harris is more of a point forward instead of a true post player. Monroe is just an extremely gifted passer for a post player.

Greg Monroe= 6'11" 247 lb. C
Tobias Harris= 6'8" 210lb. F

Harris is always listed as a PF but will play more of a SF role at UT and hopefully the NBA. Monroe is athletic for someone his size but he is a post player.

No. Better comparison is a shorter (but thicker) and not as long Kevin Durant.

I would agree with that. Not as thick and not as polished a shooter but probably has a better inside game at this point.
