Monk scored 754 total points . Made 104 threes at 39 percent
Fultz scored 579 total points. Made 52 threes at 41 percent
Monk was a scoring machine last season.
As much I like Fultz , I think Danny will gravitate towards an athlete like Monk more.
Danny also likes players with size that can handle/pass/create 1 on 1 (Tatum)
These two pickups would be decent insurance if Hayward doesnt sign and no trades result...
Thoughts?
You know you're grasping for straws when you cite raw points. For anyone who was misled by this intentionally misleading statistic, Monk played 13 more games than Fultz.
How was Monk able to play 13 more games? You tell me
By not being injured and on a terrible team. I'm guessing that you're suggesting that Monk playing 13 more games somehow supports your narrative that he's even comparable to Fultz, but it's a bit easier to advance in the tournament when your teammates include a top-5 pick and another first-rounder. Frankly, if you actually believe playing 13 more games is a serious credit to Monk, there's no arguing with you.
Kentucky was 2nd in AP preseason rankings, 4th in the coaches poll
Washington was unranked in both.
According to RPI Kentucky was 4th preseason, Washington was 204th.
If we completely ignore any level of context Triboy makes a pretty solid point here.
