The Knicks hope they will have a chance to decide whether Kentucky combo guard Malik Monk can play point guard in the NBA.
Some NBA executives believe Kentucky’s leading scorer needs to make the switch to point to solidify himself as a viable NBA starter because of his size and wingspan.
The 6-foot-3 sharpshooter, in some mock drafts, is slated to go sixth to the Magic, who need perimeter scoring after shooting 32 percent from 3-point range this season. With the seventh pick, the Timberwolves are leaning toward a wing player such as Monk over a bigger player.
