Malik Monk, Shooting Guard, Freshman, Kentucky

Watch the matchup against North Carolina to see just how elite of a scorer Malik Monk can be. He went absolutely bonkers in his career-high 47-point performance.

Monk has limitless range and can knock-down shots from anywhere on the floor. Leading Kentucky with an average of 21 points per game, Monk continues to develop his game in other aspects to go with his shooting.

He’s confident, big-moment ready player and has all the ability to be a No. 1 scoring option for an NBA team.
