4. Philadelphia 76ers: Malik Monk, SG, Kentucky
Age: 19 (February 4, 1998)
Size: 6-foot-3, 200 pounds
Ben Simmons, who is expected to start at the point, is a questionable shooter with excellent vision and passing, and as such, surrounding him with guys who can stretch the floor makes a lot of sense.
Enter Monk, who seems like the perfect backcourt mate for Simmons. Though he can be a bit streaky, he's the kind of player who is in range as soon as he steps onto the court. A deadly perimeter scorer with elite athleticism, no conscious and unwavering confidence, Monk would immediately improve a team that finished last in the NBA in offensive rating. (Getty)
