The Knicks went to watch Malik Monk’s Pro Day last month, and will take a closer look at the former Kentucky guard this week.
Monk will work out for the Knicks, a league source said. The combo guard is a player the Knicks likely will target with the No. 8 pick in the June 22 NBA Draft if he’s still available.
He averaged 19.8 points and shot 39.7 percent from three-point range in his freshman season at Kentucky. Monk is more of a shooting guard, but he’s a very good pick-and-roll player.
At a promotional event last month, Monk said he would welcome the opportunity to play at Madison Square Garden.
