Kentucky guard Monk seeks expanded game beyond high scoring
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Sharpshooting Malik Monk chose Kentucky because he felt it was the best place to hone other basketball skills beyond his impressive offensive talents.
Scoring has always come easy for the Wildcats freshman guard, who also wants to become a better rebounder, passer and “lockdown” defender. Even when Monk’s perimeter shots are falling, he wants to share the ball and encourages teammates to shoot to ensure sure he’s not the only one having fun.
