He had that one 47pt explosion, and I think people kinda overrated him at that point. His stock seemed to fall back to his more natural level after that. Maybe now people are almost underrating him. Watching Kentucky, he seems to not get anywhere near as many ballhandling opportunities as Fox and Briscoe.
I think Eric Gordon is fair as a comp... though Gordon has had so many injuries, it's hard to remember when he first came into the league, he was playing amazing ball.
I think the high end for Monk is a guy like Beal... he also has reminded me of Arenas at times.
I think he could be an explosive scorer, coming off screens and draining jumpers from all angles. He's supremely athletic. I think defense would be an issue because of his size at SG. He's not a PG... or at least he's not getting a chance to show those skills the way UK plays.
