Monk is the best HS bball player regardless of classification.
I think Simmons is an insane athlete but still kinda raw. Simmons has more upside that will probably be developed in the NBA, but Monk will make the better 1 year player in college. Kinda see them like Wiggins and Parker; Parker was more college ready, but as we see now, Wiggins is developing and becoming better than Parker.

I've seen monk play probably 10 times live. i seriously, seriously doubt there is a better pure athlete out there. He's an elite athlete among elite athletes. He does everytihng so effortlessly.
I have 2 knocks on him, 1 he needs to get stronger. He's not very strong. in college a bigger guard can body him up to an extent and 2 he's not the best ball handler on earth. he's not wiggins in college bad but he's not a point guard by any stretch of the imagination
if he tightens up his handles and puts on 10 pounds of muscle the sky is the limit
what makes monk so good is that he's not rated high just beucase he can jump and can dunk. he's a pure shooter and can stroke it from anywhere plus he's an elite athlete. he's steve francis with a more consistent jump shot

This is one of the worst things I have ever read on this board. Congrats man. Did you ever actually watch him in high school?
Raw compared to who? Lebron James 6 years into his professional career? At 6'10, Simmons was about as polished as a big man can be coming out of high school. Just because the guy doesn't shoot a bunch of outside shots every game doesn't mean he is raw.
