Other than dunk.. what can Malik Monk do?

[Bert Higginbotha]

I wish Monk was not a one dimensional player.

He needs an outside shot to refine his game. But he is dunk only. dang .......

 

[Rhavicc]

This is quickly approaching "dumbest shit of all time" status.



Monk's stats on the season thus far:

29.0 MPG
22.6 PTS
51.6% FG%
60.0% 2PT%
43.4% 3PT%
86.4% FT%
2.6 REB
2.0 AST
1.7 STL
1.8 TOV
27.7 PER
65.0% True Shooting %
62.6% Effective Field Goal %
An absurd 28.4 Usage Rating

This brings up an interesting question. If a player could actually jump from beyond the 3pt line and dunk, would it count as a 3? Maybe @IUfanBorden can answer. I don't believe the ball has to leave your hands before the line, you just have to have your feet behind the line when you attempt the shot.

it'd be a 3. What matters is where your feet leave, not where they land.

He's no Kennard but this kid's ok I guess

We can still trade you Gabriel for Kennard

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[KA4Prez]

Monk averaging an absurd 31.2 PPG per 40 mins.

this could become the 2016-17 equivalent of the Sheehey thread, @hailtoyourvictor

 

[Bkocats]

I hear he moonlights as "the Stig"

this is awesome

[KYtotheCore]

Monk back to his old ways with the 3s.

has a poster ever been run just because of one thread before?

The little man tucked tail when the football mods called him out for using 18 screen names.

 

[jamo0001]

It takes a special player to score 37pts on nothing except 2pt dunks.

 

[KA4Prez]

But have you seen that Donovan Mitchell guy play?

 

[JimboBBN]

I don't think Lockdown is ever coming back. Hillary must have gotten him.

Just another jealous statement by a little brother fan.

 

[Mgkcbb]

They'll be fine.

Best post of the thread and it was a reasonable post by a rival fan.

 

[Mgkcbb]

On the plus side, its looking like all of us non Kentucky fans went a little too pessimistic on Briscoe during the offseason. I was even saying he shouldnt start. Lol im dumb.

2nd best post of the thread

Jesus, Monk is the streakiest 3 pt shooter I've ever seen in CBB...it's kind of uncanny.

Last 15 games:

UGA: 7/11
KU: 2/6
@Tennessee: 3/13
SCar: 4/7
@MSU: 0/3
Auburn: 4/8
@vandy: 1/4

@ole Miss: 5/7
Louisville: 1/9
UNC: 8/12
Hofstra: 4/10

UK fans aren't lying when they tell you this guy will either shoot them into or shoot them out of games literally speaking.

As far as trolls go, youre a solid 8/10. Not as elite as M18J but still a good one.

Haha... When he's off he's off and when he's on he's on! They really isn't much in between.

 

[Montana81]

Well he's really only shot us out of the game against UL and Tennessee. But yeah he's the definition of streaky.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Best two guard in the country.

 

[oldsports_]

So much hype imo

You serious?

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

You serious?

Hell yes. Name one that will go before Monk in the NBA draft.

I see you're still waiting.

The three point dunk is certainly a rarity

 

[jarms24]

It's Malik Monk's birthday. But here's how it works ... he had a monster game vs UGA, so he'll likely go 0'fer tonight. lol

[wesr]

He's a great player when he's not standing around the 3 point line. If he's not hitting threes then he doesn't do much to help his team win.

 

[STL_Cat]

So the full progression of this thread is it started as "can he do anything but dunk?", and now "if he's not hitting 3's he doesn't do much else...".

Shut it down.

 

[JC for 3]

Saturday's game has erased any doubts here about what he can do.... unless the detractors want to remain in denial.

 

[JustinSphere]

thread will be bumped for the next 20 years until Monk retires from basketball.

God forbid Monk hits a game winner in the Final Four or something this thread would go 20+ pages
