Former Kentucky guard Malik Monk’s ability to hit jump shots, matched with his incredible athleticism could be a deadly combination to pair up with the likes of Andrew Wiggins & Zach LaVine.
Adding Monk to the Timberwolves’ roster would cause havoc for defenders, especially in transition. Monk starred in the NCAA tournament, showing his ability to hit big shots. The 6’-2″ shooting guard was a solid contributor throughout Kentucky’s season, averaging 19.8 points per game and shooting nearly 40 percent from deep.
Even though his shot creation could be a problem at the NBA level, having him team up with a fantastic ball distributor such as Ricky Rubio will give him great confidence in knowing he will be able to get open shots.
