OrlandoMagic.com examines the strengths of 2017 NBA Draft prospects.
By Josh Cohen
- Malik Monk is a dynamic scorer and an elite shooter. While he’s a tad undersized (6’3), Monk finds ways to create space and shoot over defenders. He has an excellent pull-up jumper and he’s comfortable shooting off screens. He also has unlimited range.
- While most identify him as a perimeter shooter, Monk is very agile and can explode to the hoop. He’s fearless and always in attack mode. He plays with relentless energy and is fairly crafty when he accelerates inside.
- Because of his size, some wonder if Monk can transform into a point guard. While his court vision and game management needs improvement, Monk is more unselfish that he gets credit for.
