Malik
- Thread starter sa_hunt
- Start date
Handshake line thing is totally unacceptable. Bench him for that any day, along with our "leader" Briscoe.

Watch about a minute before he's laughing sounds like the student section is directing a chant at Monk. Maybe a Birthday mock chant or something but maybe that's why he is laughing. He's 19 chill out and enjoy the ride. Can't win them all. Think back to 08-09... it could be a lot worse... enjoy these years of Kentucky basketball
I'm also a phenomenal judge of the character of people I don't know. I say Monk is a great guy and his teammates love him. It appears we are at an impasse.
Crying and being mad wont help either. It's basketball. Play the next game.
This team has too many issues to overcome to be able to make a FF IMO.
not the first time he was laughing when loosing or running his mouth back at couches while being coached
CVF has to rely on UK's struggles for his jollies... not like Vandy is ever gonna win ****.
Willis just told him he was driving
What these guys need to understand is..When the team loses you look bad..the better your team does especially in March the better you stock is.
Do you even know what he is like behind closed doors? Saying his teammates hate him behind closed doors because of how he plays on the court is an asinine statement
I bet a lot of other teams think that's a great idea.
Of, I've always been curious. What exactly do trolls eat?
Cal has to get more size in lineup for rebounding and balance, maybe just play Briscoe with Mulder on second team, he does not function well with Fox and Monk
3 guard lineup not getting it done period

What's fox give us when he's not able to get to the rim??? This team goes as far as Monk takes us!!! Plain and simple!!!
Rebounds way better and leds Monk into a lot of his shots. He is by far the MVP of this team. Cal had Fox check in 2 mins after not starting him, or we would have lost by 35.
If Monk isn't scoring he's nothing, he has to put up 25 just to have a good game.
Zero rebounds, doesn't play D, doesn't go after lose balls, sits on the bench laughing down 20. Other then that he's perfect.
I put the OP on ignore a long time ago and removed it. I messed up but can fix it.
Yea let's bench possibly the best pure scorer in college basketball the rest of the season...
I agree we need Monk but his attitude sucks, seems he doesn't care, shouldn't be laughing and the bench no matter what.
He's capable of awesome levels of play, and has saved us in a couple games. UNC and Georgia being the most prominent examples. No one in their right mind could deny his value when he's on.
But he is a defensive liability, plays selfishly (lack of effort, silly off-balance shots) at times - especially when he isn't clicking offensively, and doesn't appear to live and die with UK wins/losses the way we die-hard fans expect of our team.
Some might argue this is Cal's fault, some might say it's all on Malik.
Some of both, I'd say. But perhaps more on Cal. Don't you think we're probably a little lucky that so many of the one-and-dones actually DID give two s**** about UK? None of them really HAD to. It's sad but also not really surprising when some of them, including Malik, don't.

Bam said to him, "Damn Monk. And I thought we stunk tonight. Was your birthday cake made out of pinto beans?"
