Malik Monk vs. Miles Bridges

monk is a heck of a player. he will transition well to the college game. he can do so much. drive it. mid range pull up. floater. spot up shooter. shoot off the dribble. all with range.
 
Can somebody that knows compare Malik Monk to Archie Goodwin at the same stage? Thanks.
 
Archie was a supreme athlete good ball handler. But his jumper was very inconsistent. Played really hard. Monk seems like he is going to be knock shooter at any level combined with really explosive athleticism. Not sure what level ball handler he would be at but he seems super promising
 
Our athleticism on the wing would be unmatched by any team if we got those two!
 
Add those two plus Fox or Simmons plus another big and UK is favorites to win it all again.
 
Archie Goodwin and Malik Monk have nothing in common other than being from the state of Arkansas.
 
The more I see Bridges, the more I really love his game, especially at his size.

I think this is the year we finally get a true, OAD SF again.

Haha. Nah, I'd have to agree. If they get Giles, Jackson, Tatum, and possibly another to go with Kennard, Jeter, possibly Thornton coming back, I'd probably put them at #1. But there's looooots of time for things to shake up before anyone can be called #1 for sure.

Personally, I'm fine with Duke landing an awesome recruiting class. Let them go into next season with an insane level of hype and 40-0 talk. I'd like to see them deal with the kind of pressure and media blitz we did last year. Maybe they'll even merit their own "Duke is killing college basketball" article.

Duke was good, but they were also as lucky as f.. last year. Let's see how they deal with the pressure when they start the season as No. 1 and everyone talks about historically great they are.

Who knows, maybe Duke will be great for the first 38 games, but we'll be good, and also extremely lucky in 2017.
 
Monk has a picture perfect jump shot. Ugly hair cut. I can live with that.
