NBA Draft 2017: Ranking Top Prospects in UCLA vs. Kentucky Sweet 16 Matchup

3. Malik Monk, SG, Kentukcy


Class: Freshman


Size: 6-foot-3, 200 pounds


Monk is in a funk right now, averaging just 11.8 points on 31.3 percent shooting (19.2 percent from beyond the arc) over the last six games, but lets not forget what he's capable of. 47 points on 31 used possessions and 28 shots against North Carolina. 30 points in the second half to beat Florida. 26 points on just 11 field-goal attempts against Texas A&M.

Therein lies what you're getting with Monk. At times, he's going to go cold, but at other times he's going to heat up quicker than a microwave and become pretty much unstoppable on the offensive end. Ultimately, he's a great athlete who can score from anywhere on the court, and his game should translate extremely well to the next level. (Getty)
