Today, SB Nation published a 6,000-word longform story I wrote on Malik Monk. It discusses his recruitment, his summer performances at Peach Jam, his relationship with his brother Marcus and several in the Razorback basketball community, and more. It's also about the development of a "brand" for Monk as he enters his final high school season and prepares for his basketball future. Here are a couple of excerpts that should be of interest to Arkansas fans. You can read the story in its entirety here.
Through his connections from the University of Arkansas and other basketball circles, Marcus provides Malik with outside, top-notch training opportunities in northwest Arkansas.
