yeah that would be pretty awesome, especially considering Francis was actually a pretty damn good PG (albeit mistake-prone) and was an electric scorer despite not having a good 3-ball. Francis + Monk's three-ball would be better than Kyrie Irving lol

Wow brainfart on my part. Zach Collins went #10 not JJ. Sorry about that

A celtic fan (Denis998, credits to him esp. if he is active here too) from Reddit posted this article in Charlotte's section.

Article itself is old, sorry if it was already posted somewhere

There's something unique about Monk that I haven't seen in one of our young players in a long time -- I think he could end up being something special. Just the fact that he is willing to take shots and apparently has the mental capacity not to shy away from them -- even after a bad night or a cold streak -- is pretty special for a really young rookie having played just a few games at the professional level.

On reddit, every time Monk goes off like that, they call him MOIST.

Thanks to Monk, today has been the first time the official Spanish newspaper for the NBA has posted a game recap of the Hornets. Got to love the guy.

That was what he needed to help him relax and let the game come to him. Huge win inside the win.

Good to know someone we picked might actually have good upside

He's the next Curry baby. Said it all along

I’ll be calling him Moist as a nickname from this moment forward. Thanks.

While everyone is high on Monk after last night, seems like a fun time to ask... Would anyone here pick Donovan over Monk, if given the choice for the Hornets between the two?

I'm still leaning Donovan (been on the DM hype train since summer league). I just feel like his overall game will translate better over the upcoming years. Figured I'd put that in writing so you guys can mock me in several years if Monk turns into Curry 2.0 and DM maxes out as a Bradley clone.

Anyone else picked after Monk that you'd swap for Monk if given the chance today?

Here's another stupidly early fun question. Would you swap Monk for Fultz knowing what we know about his shoulder and rough start?

Anyone care to do a crazy early re-draft?

Nah, I just love Monk's game too much. Mitchell may be a better all around player (defense + offense) but I really think Monk is gonna be an elite offensive player for years to come. I mean that fourth quarter last night was absolutely electric, just so fun to watch. Also Mitchell is 21, Monk is just 19. So Mitchell is already more developed than Monk.

Congrats you guys on Monk the guy is going to be a Star.

I still like Donovan & he's one reason I keep an eye on the Jazz right now, but I'm OK with Monk. It will be interesting over the next few years to see how they turn out.

chabber · Post #260 » by **chabber** » Thu Nov 2, 2017 11:31 pm

I liked Monk more before the draft. Didn’t think Mitchell would translate so well on either end but he looked good in summer league and had a good game last night. He may turn out as one of the best in the draft. Like Monk it will help if they both end up playing some PG.

Still would take Monk. His scoring looks so effortless, I could envision him in the heat check HOF. He’s got underrated handles and passing that has room to grow, plus he’s younger.

Poor Fultz gotta have something wrong with that shoulder, I’m sticking with the Moist one.
