Slim, but you never know. The first part of the bolded sentence, highly likely... living in the D-League, probably not. Odds are he will be of around the same caliber of Jeremy Lin which would make him above average.

 

Maybe it's just me, I admittedly have a VERY high opinion of Monk's game, but I see his floor being Devin Booker.

No you weren't :lol2:

 

Even considering, I was still surprised. Haha

I certainly hope you are correct. For him it will be about finding his place as an undersized 2 guard. The game is going smaller, so that is good. I am more skeptical than most when it comes to any player in college delivering the goods at the next level. So few great college players are great NBA players.

Shorter version of Rudy Gay...

Dang, that's a high floor. Booker is proving to be the second best player off of that 2015 UK team.

This is me. We see guys dominate in college all of the time and then disappear in the NBA.

And that's the main reason I started this thread. I don't think I typically over-sell a guy's skill set. I wanted to see if I was doing that with Monk.

I've given up trying. I am always wrong. :lol2: I think his work ethic will take him farther than anything else.

When its all said and done, I think Booker has the better NBA career.

Lin makes slightly more.

 

 

Sorry, couldn't resist lol. I'm a UK fan, just joking lol.

Travis Grant was a college scoring machine

I expect Booker to become an All Star at some point. 4-7 years or sooner.
