re: Is Ben Simmons Better Than Malik Monk

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
