With MCW out a while, and our Playoff hopes extremely dim. Monk will FINALLY get some PT.

Charlotte Hornets guard Michael Carter-Williams may miss the rest of the year with a shoulder injury, which means Malik Monk must step up.

Rick Bonnell explained that while the method to fix the injury has not yet been determined but the 26-year-old could miss the entire season either way (via Charlotte Observer):

“It’s unclear how much time Carter-Williams might miss if he chooses rehab, rather than surgery. But it appears inevitable Monk will have a bigger role, possibly for the rest of the season.”

Monk, 20, was pulled from the regular rotation due to his poor play on defense. He was reportedly included in trade talks with the Knicks, too, before the deadline.

Monk ends up with 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover in 16 minutes.  He was 3-10 shooting with 1-6 on 3 points shots.  But the best thing was that he was aggressive the whole time he was in the game.  Some of his passes were a bit erratic and he didn't shoot a good percentage but you have to expect that with him not getting any playing time recently.  His drives to the basket were great and he almost posterized Ersan Ilyasova in the first half.  Ilyasova had to foul him or he would have been embarrassed.  If Clifford wasn't such a dick and Monk would have had regular playing time this season, he could have developed into a really nice player.

I was so excited early in the season because Monk gave Charlotte fans hope of a potential star player. He had the swagger, athleticism and the shot. What happened was that we didn't develop him at all. At least we could of gave him burn with the Swarm but no. We just kept him buried behind a guy who produced less than he did. I hope this waste of a season doesn't affect his confidence.

I think he'll be fine. He probably learned a lot in Practice and stuff. I'm okay with this. But, he needs PT next Season when Clifford is fired. I hope this Offseason is a "get rid of this poo" Offseason. I love Kemba, but I want him winning. And he will not be doing that with us.

I bet he would be averaging around 15ppg if Clifford would have been giving him minutes all year. A shooter like Monk is always going to look rusty if you never allow him to get into any kind of rhythm. Just his energy and explosiveness alone would have benefited the team in a huge way. Playing MCW over Monk should be enough to get any coach fired. Unless MCW was an all NBA defensive player, his defense doesn't outweigh the fact that he is statistically the worst offensive player in the NBA.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
