With the Charlotte Hornets losing their top two scorers from last season, the role of the team leader is certainly up for grabs. Charlotte will most likely look to its youth for scoring, and that could include third-year guard, Malik Monk.
Monk hasn’t exactly dazzled in his first two years in Charlotte, but that’s mainly due to inconsistent play and playing behind both Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb.
Unfortunately, those two are now gone, but that opens up a lot of possibilities for someone like Monk. He could end up competing for the starting spot at shooting guard, but I see him being the first option off the bench, filling the sixth man role.
