List of all-time NBA rookies to hit at least 4 threes off the bench in 3 straight games:

1. Malik Monk

Every time I see Monk play, I see the highest potential player on the Hornets including Kemba. I thought this even early in the year. It is sad that Monk didn't get a full rookie year. He is the 2nd best scorer we have and never got PT. Highest ceiling we have. Very excited about the future.

Hey, at least he learned how to play Defense, right? LOLZ.

We can't Draft a point guard, because Monk is clearly getting better at that position. We'll have to Draft a SF or PF in the Draft. Which I'm okay with. 

I must say that I have been impressed with Monk at PG. He has shown a lot of promise in that position. I still don't know what would be better, pairing Monk with a tall PG like Shai Gilgeious-Alexander or pairing him with an athletic SF or PF

I'll say this about Monk... his iso game from his time at UK compared to where it currently is, is quite amazing. 

Monk is showing things that people actually knocked him for in the draft. People originally compared him to Jamal Crawford, but he looks like he could become much more than what Crawford is/was.

I'm really excited about Monk and Hernangomez.

poo, bruh. Bacon has showed promise as well. I'm thinking we keep Monk at PG, and let him grow there. He clearly has a chip on his shoulder. Which is promising.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
