Malik Monk is having a solid season with the Los Angeles Lakers where he is the team's sixth man and can create his own shot off the bench. It's clear that he's a player who can be a great starting shooting guard, and there's a good chance he'll earn a starting role with his new team.
Shams Charania recently revealed that Malik Monk has signed a two-year, $19 million contract with the Sacramento Kings. This is definitely a good acquisition for the Kings, who have been in win-win mode since trading for big man Domantas Sabonis.
The Sacramento Kings have the longest playoff drought in the league, and it's clear at this point that the team just wants to win. Monk would be a perfect fit next to franchise stars De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, and maybe we'll see the Sacramento Kings make the playoffs next year, although that will likely come from them making the play-in rounds.
Malik Monk is one of the most underrated players in the league this year. Hopefully he gets a chance to shine with the Sacramento Kings, who signed a contract that is definitely team-friendly and will give them more flexibility to improve.
