7. Sacramento Kings Select Malik Monk, SG, Kentucky

Year: Freshman

Will the acquisition of Buddy Hield, who the Kings got in the DeMarcus Cousins trade and clearly have an infatuation with, deter them from grabbing probably the best scorer in the draft at No. 7? I don't pretend to know what the Kings are ever thinking, but even with Hield, they could use some more backcourt scoring.

Monk provides exactly that. The talented freshman is averaging 21.2 points per game with a 56.0 effective field-goal percentage, and when he gets hot, there's no one who can slow him down. (Getty)
