Malik Monk knows he doesn’t pass the eye test.
So it doesn’t bother the former Kentucky standout when critics doubt that his slight frame is big and durable enough to defend NBA shooting guards.
“People are always going to say what they want,” Monk said Thursday after his 76ers predraft workout at the team’s practice facility.
“Some people said I couldn’t play off the ball when I went to Kentucky,” he added. “I think I did a good job at that. I just have to adjust.”
But Monk probably wouldn’t have to match up against shooting guards if the Sixers select him in the first round of the June 22 NBA draft.
