What's Malik Monk Ceiling/NBA Potential

[lutha]

a scoring pg.....or a scoring 6th man....

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Whats his wingspan....that will determine if he can guard wings

 

[Captain Crunch]

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..

I'm not being a homer, but me and the Heat brehs saw Winslow make some clean passes this year. His handle is struggle status, but his vision and passing is there.

Malik the truth but I think Fox is better. I been matching this Kentucky team all year and there's just something special about Fox. His defense, ability to run the offense and pushing the ball and his shot ain't that bad. He would solve a lot of Minnesota and Philly's point guard woes.

same I think fox will be better a well

Think it just depends what team/situation they both go into. I'm in LOVE with Fox. He reminds me a lot of John Wall but possibly even more in control then freshman Wall was.

Monk will be at worst a high teens scorer off the bench and with development of his handles and with his body he could become a legit star for someone down the line.

I fux with Malik Monkster

 

[Swagnificent]

This upcoming draft is full of guys with superstar or all star potential

Like who?

Other than Lonzo Ball who could be Jason Kidd 2.0 there aint nobody else.

Giles and Dennis Smith have been taken out by ACL tears. Tatum lacks athleticism. Jackson can't shoot and his athleticism is overrated. For goodness sakes there is hype about some fat scrub like Fultz being the potential #1 pick.

This class is overrated.

Its got rotation guys and okay starters but no superstars.

Malik Monk is no matter what worth a top 7 pick in the draft..Sometimes you need a dude who can score the ball and even though he's small he's not freakishly short to play SG/Pg...I think when the combine comes around he may grade out as closer to 6'4...If in the 76ers, Heat, Mavs, GMs I will have to take a long hard (nh) look at him..

The question is really this are we sure that he can't learn how to be a PG or a Lead Guard in the NBA...With his shooting and ability to catch and shoot he's the perfect fit for some teams especially teams with a Point Forward or a Playmaking SG.

I believe on the right team and in the right situation he can be a PG or Lead guard...More so of a Lead guard.

I think he has enough vision to eventually play PG, provided there is other good playmakers on team.
I do worry his handle is a little lose, which is one of the reasons he doesn't get to the bucket as much as I'd like.
Also his defensive effort isn't always great

I still love this guy though, If you look at my draft thread I've been a huge fan of his for a while and have been hyping him up since he was a sophomore in HS so I wish him the best.

The difference between him and Lou Will or Crawford is the athletic ability. When he develops a little, he should be at least top 10 in the league in transition scoring, he's as good as it gets in that regard. That's why I made the LaVine comparison, Zach is currently 6th in the league in fast break points. Monk is more skilled at same age but also smaller and not quite as explosive.
Transition points are very important btw, as they are highly efficient and usually what separates the top scorers from just average ones is that feel to get out in early offense and get buckets consistently.

Russell Westbrook or John Wall or even LeBron are below average efficiency in half court, Lou Williams is more effective scoring the ball than them in half court situations but what separates them is their ability to be one man fast breaks. Monk is a different player than those 3 but he has some of that ability
