Kentucky. Malik Monk. 7. player. 86. . SG

HT: 6’4″  WT: 197  WINGSPAN: 6’3 ½”  Age: 19

Another player with little variance in our mocks, Malik Monk is a combo guard through and through. He knows how to move off-ball and around screens to get buckets and connected on just under 40 percent of a whopping seven three-point attempts per game last season, but he doesn’t have great size as a two.

His spot in the league will be providing a scoring punch in Lou Williams-esque fashion.
