Monk scored 754 total points . Made 104 threes at 39 percent

Fultz scored 579 total points. Made 52 threes at 41 percent

Monk was a scoring machine last season.

As much I like Fultz , I think Danny will gravitate towards an athlete like Monk more.

Danny also likes players with size that can handle/pass/create 1 on 1 (Tatum)

These two pickups would be decent insurance if Hayward doesnt sign and no trades result...

Thoughts?

Neither Monk nor Tatum are close to the level of prospect that Fultz is. Fultz is one of the best guard prospects since 2010 - neither of the other guys are even close to that sort of potential.
The time for trading for quantity has passed, it's now time for Boston to pick one of the most highly touted prospects in years.

Monk over Fultz makes 0 sense to me.

Tatum over Fultz I can understand, but Fultz seems to be the consensus better prospect.

The way its worded it kinda seems like you are advocating trading down to select both these guys?

how would that even  be possible?

I don't see the love with Monk.  So streaky.  I've seen him disappear from scoring in games and not be able to impact the game in any other ways.  He reminds of JR Smith a lot.

I like his ability to score in bunches, but he doesn't pass or rebound, and he's undersized with relatively short arms.

He is a combo guard

He has decent length arms but narrow shoulders. However more explosive and quicker than Fultz. Actually not many are much more explosive or quick than Monk

how? Only team with 2 top 10 picks is Sacremento and its unlikely Tatum makes it to 5 and unlikely Monk makes it to 10.

Fultz is not at the level of Jordan nor Durant
