BENTONVILLE — Malik Monk is going to be a Kentucky Wildcat. That fact, by itself, is not surprising.
Since he was a sophomore at Bentonville High, Monk had told me his goal is to be an NBA superstar. If that is your top objective, then the decision to go a place producing four Final Four appearances, 13 NBA Draft lottery picks and 25 total players selected in the last six years is a logical one.
And, for the last couple months, it’s been decision predicted by most of the national recruitniks who follow this kind of thing.
