The Path
As the younger brother of former All-SEC wide receiver Marcus Monk, Malik established his own fame in the SEC with a standout season at the University of Kentucky. The Arkansas native earned Mr. Basketball honors in his home state and captured the Jordan Brand Classic Co-MVP before committing to the Wildcats. In one season at Kentucky, Monk averaged 19.8 points per game as part of an SEC Player of the Year campaign.
Strengths
From an athletic perspective, Monk is off the charts with extreme bounce and explosiveness in the open floor.
