Him, Fox, and Adebayo are studs.

I liked how Wiley looked against Adebayo, but they called so many ticky tacky fouls on him we didn't get to see it much.

Not high on bam at all. No offensive game struggles playing sound defense his game is being big that won't work in the NBA.

Monks game reminds me of a shorter Reggie miller but his athletic ability makes up for lack if height

Wiley was terrible getting back on defense and getting burned by Bam on transition.

Yea he's lacking in that area and he doesn't allow us to press with him on the floor yet.

Face up down low he was better than Bam head to head IMO. Bam better all around right now though.

He is the best pure athlete in his class I said that 2 years ago. Fox is a better basketball player. Fultz is a better ball hAndler and can create his shot easier Smith is better at attacking the basket and Josh Jackson/ tatum have better/ more natural mid range games and project easier to the NBA but none of them have the pure athletic ability as monk


Monk could be an NBA superstar if he tightened up his handle and learned to move without the ball better ball playing better defense wouldn't hurry either. His lift he gets on his jumper basically makes him a 6'7 shooting guard and he will be Be able to get his shot off against anyone on the next level. But he can't play the p and r and can't is because he can't dribble his helpless without a PC


The real reason he went to UK was always fox. If UK doesn't get fox monk is at Arkansas. He has to play with an elite point guard to get his cleAN shots

He is good but he also plays with a bunch of 5 stars and the quality of SEC teams are worse now.

Even Wall himself has said he's similar to how he played in college, especially his speed and ability to get to the rim.

Wall played with a lot more physicality, imo, even at UK

I guess they're both guards with elite quickness and vision but I think the Wall comparison is lazy and being made just because they're both Cal PGs

Fox reminds me more of Brandon Jennings

Fox is more naturally gifted then wall. Wall is faster but fox can get where he wants to go easier. Wall is more physical and a better ball handler, fox is a better and more willing passer. Fox also has much better shot selection than wall...fox takes his points in the flow of the game and doesn't force the issue.


Fox wing span makes him an elite caLibor pg , his basically the same size as Shaun Livingston once you take his wingspan into accoubt.




I think the best comparison to fox is Jason kid. Elite do it all pgs with size advantage outstanding passers who get better shooting with age kid struggled shooting early but became an elite three point shooter eventually


Like if im dallAS I do whatever I have to do to get fox

John wall is a better player than fox. There is a reason he was number one overall
