Facing the Lakers another offensive and defensive performance, it seems that the Kings should keep this backcourt general.

In the previous NBA regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were missing their two core players, narrowly defeated the Sacramento Kings at home 127-120 after a hard battle. After this game, the Lakers' record, which had won two consecutive victories, improved to 2 wins and 1 loss; while the Kings' record dropped to 1 win and 2 losses.

Although the Kings lost the game, the team's substitute backcourt general Malik Monk actually performed quite well against his old club. Monk played for 24 minutes and 29 seconds, making 5 of 9 shots, 3 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. He also had 1 turnover and 4 fouls. The plus-minus reached a team-high +7. Monk also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. With limited playing time and number of shots, he also seized the opportunity and scored a lot of points. Monk is not considered a reliable defender, but at least in this game, Monk's performance on the defensive end was not bad. He also showed quite good personal defensive abilities and posed a considerable threat to his opponents. In fact, the overall situation of the team when Monk is on the court is worthy of recognition. He also has good effects on both offense and defense. It's just that the performance of many of the team's starting players was not ideal, and Monk's efforts were not rewarded.

In the NBA regular season last season, Monk played a total of 65 times on behalf of the Kings, averaging 31.6 minutes per game. He averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 2.4 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 43.9% from the field, 32.5% from the three-point range, and 86.5% from the free throw line. In the previous preseason games, Monk played a total of 2 times, averaging 16.1 minutes per game, averaging 8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.5 steals, and 2 fouls. He shot 36.4% from the field, 25% from the three-point range, and 87.5% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Monk has averaged 24.2 minutes per game in the first three games, averaging 18 points, 1 rebound, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game. He also has 0.7 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His field goal percentage is 52.8%, his three-point shooting percentage is 63.2%, and his free throw percentage is 100%.

Monk's performance last season was not ideal, and he has also become a potential cleanup target for the Kings this summer. If the Golden State Warriors hadn't been unwilling to take on Monk's contract, he might have already played for the Warriors. I thought Monk would struggle a bit at the start of the season, but he unexpectedly showed quite good personal abilities in these games, which exceeded everyone's expectations. The current problem is that the Kings have too many players in the backcourt. Monk cannot get more opportunities, and his data is also subject to some limitations. I don’t know how the Kings will adjust the team’s lineup next. Can Monk get more playing time?
