No. 5 Malik Monk (Kentucky)
School: Kentucky
Position: Shooting Guard
Size: 6'3"/200 pounds
Class: Freshman
Why Watch: Monk is one of the most exciting players in college basketball but it comes at a cost. He is streaky, but can heat up in a hurry as his 30-point second half showing against Florida demonstrated. There is a lot to like offensively, but he is an undersized shooting guard at the next level. It is unclear whether his game translates to an NBA point guard. There is enough raw materials to work with that an NBA team will take a chance on him early, especially one in need of offense. Monk has been and continues to be one of the most debated prospects in college basketball. There are a lot of mouths to feed on this Kentucky team, but Monk's ability makes him first in line. Monk has had 20 or more points in 17 games this season. He has the ability to get his teammates involved but could use March to demonstrate that skill more frequently along with his scoring ability.
