When the Charlotte Hornets took Malik Monk with the 11th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, everyone immediately declared the Hornets got one of the biggest steals in the draft; nevermind that Monk looked like someone told him his dog had cancer, as he was totally devastated when the New York Knicks passed on him.

Monk seemingly hasn’t recovered from that devastation, considering that in the first 130+ games of his NBA career, he hasn’t registered a single start, and averages less than 8.5 points per game. The fact that Charlotte was another one of the teams that passed over taking Donovan Mitchell can’t be reiterated enough times, given how bad it looks in hindsight.
