Allen Iverson would like to have a word with you...Should I tell him you will call him back?

Agree, don't 50 to 60 percent of  NBA and NFL players go broke within five years of the league being done with them?

About 60% for the NBA, before this CBA.

Almost 80 for the NFL (78%)

It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them.

His game has NBA written all over it;  he does everything reasonably well, when he gives effort-- that's his biggest knock-- defensive effort.   His shot selection could use some tuning, but everything else is there-- including the ability to change a game with his offense.

He's not the guy who will go 1/2/3,  but he's perfectly equipped to be a second guy for a contender in a few years.   He's ahead of Booker at the same stage, for example-- and Booker just put up 70.

Yeah but Booker stands a legit 6ft 6 on a bad Phx team. Keep an eye on NBA Draft combine..that should give us a better clue as to where he will be picked. 1st rd, yes. But I dont see lottery pick, IMO. Plenty 6ft 3in players with his current skill set. He sleeps on D and PG skills are not good, namely ballhandling skills. But he is great shooter when he is on.

I really wish fellow Hog fans would just stop giving this dude WAY WAY WAY more pub than he deserves.  Every time you blurt about him pro or con, you make him seemingly bigger than our team, and as it turned out, we were in a situation where we could have been damn close to beating KY and moving on to the Final 4.  Meanwhile, he's going pro after one year and means nothing to KY OR Arkansas now....stop giving him this much air time.  Let Karma do its thing.

He's not a PG at the next level anyway.  That's not what teams are going to use him for, at all.

This is an era of increasingly positionless basketball;  his job is going to be instant offense and creating spacing.   He's going to be ideal for a team with a mobile creator they like to play as an initiating forward, and with a reliable lead guard.

And he isnt going to be a good shooting guard either, so there is that. Postionless basketball, really? He isnt Lou Williams, ( he has a work ethic that is unbelievable) certainly isnt Russell Westbrook...Jeff Teague et al maybe.

But we can agree to disagree...

He's more developed than either was at this stage in their playing days.  And he's got the one thing you look for in an NBA crunch time shooter-- the ability to create and hit contested shots in big situations.

He's going to be a player of some kind at the next level.   Which team gets him, will do a lot to shape what kind of pro he will be.

If I was a NBA GM, I wouldn't draft Monk.

His game is basically a tweener type of a game.  He really doesn't do any fundamental things well such as playing defense and rebounding.

He does jack up a lot of shots.  In the NBA, you need to be able to at least do 1 thing fundamentally well.

That is why he will get drafted. There are a ton of terrible teams in the NBA just like there is a lot of bad GMs also in the NBA.  Half the league goes to the playoff and some of them have losing records getting in.

16 of 30 teams go to the playoffs every year-- and in spite of that, only 14 teams with losing records have made the playoffs in the last 17 seasons;  its most likely that one or no teams will enter the playoffs with a losing record this season.

Mathematically, that's actually remarkably good--  you'd expect that a team with a losing record would make the playoffs more often than not.

Exactly. It was know all along he would only play 1 year. That was never in doubt. Beside he has LeAngelo coming in next year and LeMelo (who I think is the best of them) 2 years later. He scored 92 pts in 1 game a back in Feb, against Los Osos High.

Did you watch that HS game? I saw some highlights on the YouTube and dude snowbirded the entire game. There was literally zero D played. Final was like 130 to 110. A HIGH SCHOOL GAME.

Might not happen this year, but currently there is 16 teams with losing records in the NBA.  All I am saying is a league that has more than half of its teams get into a play off is a joke especially if they have losing records.  Why bother with a season. 

Also they need to get rid of the divisions because sometimes there are teams with winning records or better records than the other side left out when they shouldn't be. Take the top 16 teams and that is it.  Should do the same in football in my opinion.  Tired of divisions in sports.

Er....what?  That'd be eliminating conferences, not eliminating divisions.

And the NBA is in remarkably good shape right now.    The regular season is about right, though you could probably argue to shorten the season by about 6 games, and help the health of the players a bit, eliminating the nasty 4 game in 5 night swings for all teams.

He'd be an excellent fit in Minnesota.   They'd likely start shopping Levine at that point, but coming off his ACL it might be a tough sell.

I'd really look for them to draft one of the two PGs if they win the lottery, or get a defensive minded guy to play on the wing if they stay at that 7/8 range with their pick  (in theory, they could likely go as high as #4 without much difficulty, only leading the Knicks and the garbage from #4 to #7 by a game and a half with 10 to play)

Not that particular game...I have seen those 3 them play in a Christmas Tourney here at Rancho Mirage High School, the CIF championship game against Concord De La Salle and Mater Dei...So I have seen them play together. They are fun to watch...They play in the Open Div which is the highest classification in here in Calif

ONYEKA OKONGWU at 6ft 9 is also very talented, he too played with them they went 35-0 ranked #1 in the nation, Lonzo's Sr year. So lots of talent here in Riverside County. I have mentioned Corona Centennial

Just from what I've seen, I'm not sure Monk would have made this years team much better.  I just don't think his attitude would have meshed well with some of the other guys.  Who knows though, CMA did a pretty good job of getting this team to gel.

1. Fox
2. Ball
3. Hart
4. Whatley
5. Mason III
6. Josh Jackson
7. Jayson Tatum
8. Markkannen
9. Leaf
10. Jonathan Isaac

Those are guys off the top of my head that should go before Monk.  He is a one-trick pony that some team is going to regret drafting as high as he will go.

Sounds like stuff said about Devin Booker too.  70 points the other night was amazing! I bet he makes more money than you.
not really. was weak sauce. they were feeding him every trip, fouling on purpose to prolong the game, calling late timeouts when they were down double digits to keep him on the court. Was still an official 70-point club outing, but it was the weakest one yet. Worse than The Admiral's 71 point night that gave him the scoring title (i loved it tbh).

they have the playmaker's there to get him the ball in his spots and they need 3 point shooters and a creator for end of clock situations. So, I agree , that is one of the better fits for him. Ironically in this thread of Monk hate, I think he will fall out of the top 10 but not out of the 1st round so odds are he ends up on a decent team.

so many salty hog fans. let the kid go. Its pretty understandable why the kid would opt for UK.

regardless, kid disappears at times. hes not a 1st scoring option, but he can move without the ball like richard hamilton. hes got range, hes clutch, & can hit contested. his wingspan & athleticism will help him guard longer 2s. he wont be that big of a defensive liability.

hes a microwave. could easily become a 6th man of the year type player.

he'll go top 10 probably top 5.

Only 6 players have put up 70 points... All that are retired are in the Hall of Fame...  If it's the weakest 70 points ever that really stinks. Plus he did it at 20, to young to buy a drink old enough to put up 70!

I don't like his game.  He barely plays defense and is always losing his man.  On offense, he just runs around occasionally and tries to get open for a trey.  He's not much in to the game, and doesn't do any of the grunt work like rebounding or fighting for loose balls.

I don't know why an NBA team would take him so high.

You just described 70% of the players in the NBA tho lol

He needs more time running the point since he's too small to guard wing players in the NBA. With Fox at Kentucky, Monk only got to run the point when Fox was out. Needs to go pro though, he's a lock for a lottery pick. Bright future.

Exactly right. They're assclowns for multiple reasons but that's certainly one.

I agree with you, PorkRinds.

I don't like his game.  He barely plays defense and is always losing his man.  On offense, he just runs around occasionally and tries to get open for a trey.  He's not much in to the game, and doesn't do any of the grunt work like rebounding or fighting for loose balls.

I don't know why an NBA team would take him so high.

Kevaughn Allen also doesn't play strong enough defense. First guy out when Florida when to a defensive 5.

does Hillary count? if not then Monk it is.

She is NOT an Arkansan.  She lived here with Bill long enough to ride his coat tails to Washington.  She never really liked Arkansas.  She may have gotten used to us but she never thought of Arkansas as home unlike Winthrop Rockefeller who was also a transplant but loved Arkansas.  Malik Monk was a home grown son.  He will be the Erik Mitchell of this generation.

I predict that Monk will come back home and do color commentary with Chuck after a stellar NBA career.

Yep...Kids are great athletes. Dad is psycho.
Pyscho is a bit harsh.  I think he's that way to get into the spotlight a bit to promote his brand.  I don't think Lonzo's brothers are one and done.  The second one is a crazy good shooter from what I've seen but I still think they both are 2-3 year players.

He played for a strong not great team for 1 season, was in the national scene, and put up numbers that put him in UK's FR Record Books. He showed he is inconsistent, needs work on defense, but is an elite scorer, with elite athleticism, that does most everything well.  He accomplished everything he needed to in college, more than expected, and will be a top 10 pick.

I know some of you hate to admit it, but his decision worked out fantastically for him. Could he have done the same at Arkansas? Possibly, but UK was more of a sure thing. It worked for him. I just hope the next Malik Monk that comes through the state has more loyalty. If we're a perennial NCAA tournament team that is a more likely outcome.

If Monk and Allen stay home, do we get Barford and Macon?

I think he will be a Jamal Crawford type player. Important role player who can score but not a superstar.

Hmmm.  The basketball version of Keith Jackson?

Macon yes because him and monk are good buddies and wanted to play together.  Macon played a large roll in barford coming, so maybe.  But!  Would we have had spots open for all, idk.

So monks going to send two sons to Arkansas, one of them appearing to be a stud?  Hmmm
