Although Monk was not named a finalist for the Wooden Award, given annually to the best player in college basketball, being named to the All-American Team is still a huge honor. He joins Lonzo Ball (UCLA), Dillon Brooks (Oregon), Josh Hart (Villanova), Josh Jackson (Kansas), Justin Jackson (North Carolina), Luke Kennard (Duke), Frank Mason III (Kansas), Caleb Swanigan (Purdue) and Nigel Williams-Goss (Gonzaga) on the team. Ball, Hart, Mason III, Swanigan and Williams-Goss were named the five finalists for the Wooden Award, given annually to the best player in college basketball.
Monk is the sixth Wildcat named a Wooden Award All-American in the John Calipari era.
