Should we have a problem with Malik Monk not playing in the Summer league?

Monk has slowly becoming a bust.  Apparently hasn't developed yet still having to spend time in Greensboro 

But he wont play in the summer league?  Where he can get more pt and try to develop and work? 

When Bacon (who is Way ahead of him in development) is out there playing.  But Monk won

 

 

When his own teammates are trying to get him to go out there and play.....but he wont

Should we have a problem?  This guy, who should be stepping in already and now with Kemba gone.  A guy who already has a fanbase wanting to see something after passing on Donavon Mitchell for him.  A guy who still had to spend time in Greensboro last year, but wont play in thebsummer league

Summer League is a fun opportunity where the guys can practice by actually getting game experience (which should be a lot of fun for them).

I'm not saying Malik isn't working on his game right now but if given the opportunity to practice in a game situation verses just running drills, I feel like most guys would choose the game. If he's not willing to work on his craft in a game situation he may not even be working on his game at all right now.

Malik seems to have the same attitude that Frank had before Frank realized his NBA future was on the line.

The Hornets need more guys who are willing to work hard as talent alone isn't going to get it done in the NBA.

Unless he has a particularly good reason for not playing, then it is something that is of concern. If he doesn't, I would hope that he is diligently working on his own to improve his game in this offseason. Perhaps he views some of his private workouts/training as more productive than playing in a little bit of a pick up setting. 

If not, however, it will be a pretty clear indicator of what the fans have seen, that he is destined to be a bust.

it is insulting to have him play on the summer league.. let him get solid minutes this year and watch..

the 2019 Summer League is not going to turn his career around..

Is it though.

Its not required for guys in there 3rd year.  But most of the guys who dont go in their 3rd year are guys who are already solid rotational guys in the league.  Monk was still spending time in the G-league and the staff said he still had work to do.

Him not doing it send out the message

A. He's too good, which he is far from (again pointed out Bacon participating in it and he is further along than Monk)

B. He just doesnt care

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
