I think we can succeed with Monahan as our #1 center but he has to do two things:
1. Be more physically durable. His body needs to hold up. I'm expecting to hear about an injury for him.
2. He needs to learn from this and figure out how to battle hard. He didn't seem to have that.

I'm 2nd guessing if he can fix either point. However, a guy with similar skill can work as #1 if he doesn't have those two concerns.
