I've been saying he's a professional scorer since he was 16 years old. I'd say a more efficient, better shooting prime Monta. Put up like 23 a game.
For his all around numbers - remember Devin Booker and Murray didn't do much at kentucky besides score and shoot. That's the role that Cal has for these guys. Monk is a little lose with his handle but he is a better playmaker than he's been able to show.
My favorite player in the country along with OG

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
not always. The ball can't always die when Monk gets the ball. Besides, Simmons can't be the only facilitator they have. Now if they grab Monk and another PG (for argument's sake, Fox), then Monk won't be as needed to be a necessary facilitator, only a willing one.


Who's to say the play would die just cause he has it? I suspect just basic PnR between him and Embiid/Simmons would work with him as the ball handler. They wont need their PG to be anything more than 3-5apg type of guy, look at the Bucks for a example, the ball is going to be in Simmons hands a lot.


Fox cannot shoot, the Sixers are going to place a premium on shooting in this draft.

Antetokounmpo averages a shade under 6 assists per game. The Bucks as a team rank 3rd, which means there's more than one facilitator. On the Sixers it can't just be Simmons, which is my point in regards to Monk. 5 players on the Bucks average at least 2 assists per game and they have 2 (Antetokounmpo and Dellavedova) who average over 5. To Philly's credit, they're 11th without Simmons, but when Simmons comes back, he'll phase out Rodriguez and McConnell. Whoever they bring in needs to at least be a willing secondary facilitator.

I think Monk can be a second handler in the same way Kyrie is to LeBron, also with better spacing Joel should have more options passing out of the post since right now he's getting doubled and his pass out options are pretty bleak. The Sixers will most likely draft in a spot where they can take Ball or Fultz too, Monk is just a fall back option behind those, and I think they're also a dark horse to take Ntilikina in the top 5 if they have the 3rd pick.

If he goes to a team with a playmaking wing(Philly, Miami), can Monk be a 20ppg on good efficiency?

Whose Miami playmaking wing Winslow?

His perfect landing spot would be the 76ers with the Lakers princess Cm however as can also see Miami picking him and forcing him into a pg over time..
