Charlotte Hornets wing Malik Monk finished second in the “best shooter” category of the 2017 rookie survey, according to NBA.com. He and fellow rookie Dwayne Bacon were mentioned in several categories by their peers, suggesting that yeah, maybe the Hornets did a good job in June.
It’s also a not-so-subtle reminder that the regular season is fast approaching. Less than two months away, to be exact-ish. Training camp’s in about a month.
Anyway, Monk finished second in “best shooter”, tied for fourth for “most athletic”, and received votes for Rookie of the Year as well as for being most likely to have the best career.
