Love his skill set, just worried how he will hold up size wise in the NBA as a 2. Can he play 36 minutes a night for 82 games + playoffs consistently. That will be the test to see if he develops into a true superstar or just a 6th man type guy(think Jamaal Crawford).

Crawford is 6'5 and 195 lbs.
M.Monk is 6'3 and 200 lbs and plays above the rim and is an NBA caliber shooter. He's only 19 yrs old - I think his measurables are right on track.

McCollum is 6'3 and 195 lbs.
C.Lee is 6'5 and 200 lbs.
D.Wade is 6'4 and 220 lbs.

I think of Monk as a Dwade at his ceiling, with a better shot.  At his floor, he is a Jamaal Crawford type of player.  I would take that ANY day of the week.  I would not sleep on Dwayne Bacon either.  That guy could turn into a very good pro player.  Could have the wings of the future in one draft.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
