With the 2017 NBA Draft rapidly approaching, the time has come to speculate wildly about where the Kentucky Wildcats may end up. Perhaps the most interesting case from last year’s Elite Eight team is Malik Monk.
Monk has not garnered as much pre-draft buzz as De’Aaron Fox, but his playing situation for next year is much more up in the air. Most analysts have Monk being drafted anywhere from #6 to #10 in their recent mock drafts. This feels like a comfortable range for him, although with the lack of elite shooters in this class, it isn’t impossible that he might sneak up higher.
