NBA Mock Draft 2017: Dick Vitale Speaks on Lonzo Ball & Markelle Fultz

No. 6 New York Knicks: G Malik Monk


School: Kentucky


Position: Shooting Guard


Size: 6'3"/200 pounds


Class: Freshman


Outlook: Monk continues to be the most polarizing player in the upcoming draft. Vitale summed up his skill set as well as anyone can. “Monk can score big time! At times, he can be streaky,” Vitale told Heavy. When he is firing on all cylinders it is a joy to watch. He will be able to help an NBA team offensively but finds himself undersized to play shooting guard at the next level. He has not demonstrated enough ability at Kentucky to show he can be a true point guard. Monk would pair well with Kristaps Porzingis, but it is unclear how he would do with Carmelo Anthony. Given Porzingis is the future, the Knicks can afford to find out. (Getty)
