5. Philadelphia 76ers- Malik Monk (Kentucky, FR, Shooting Guard)

The process was trusted and it has arrived, with the emergence of Joel Embiid. The Sixers are now waiting for Ben Simmons’ debut to see what this group looks like together. One thing this team can use is a shot-making guard.

Watch Kentucky’s matchup against North Carolina back in December to see just how elite of a scorer Malik Monk can be.

Monk has limitless range and can knock-down shots from anywhere on the floor. Leading Kentucky with an average of 21.7 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.
