Lakers’ Malik Monk explains excitement about playing alongside Anthony Davis

There is plenty of anticipation about how Malik Monk will play this upcoming season as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Monk signed a one-year deal for the minimum after the Charlotte Hornets parted ways with the four-year veteran.

Charlotte drafted Monk as a lottery pick in the 2017 NBA draft, but Monk didn’t break out until last season; by then, however, it was too late.

The Hornets had guard LaMelo Ball take over and new rookie James Bouknight pushed Monk further out of the equation.
