Malik Monk, Kentucky

(2) Kentucky vs. Northern Kentucky (15)

Kentucky is always bringing players to the draft table and Malik Monk is no exception. He’s a freshman PG with a great pull up jumper. There’s no doubt that he can score, but he can also do the little things like threading passes in between the defense that lead to buckets. His stand out moment was against UNC back in December where he racked up 47 points.

Any team looking for a point guard that can score should be looking at Monk, especially during the NCAA Tournament. He only had two bad shooting performances this season and the rest were all in the double digits, leading to his 20.4 point average. His three-point percentage for the season came in at 40.3, which is a nice, consistent number.

There’s no doubt that he offers a lot in the way of offense.
