“It’s Like Seeing a Baseball Coming Slower.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Cal’s been high on Malik Monk’s defensive game of late.

The freshman guard has shown his skill for years on offense, but not until coming to Lexington has there been talk about his defense.

Monk’s mind works quickly.  He’s able to grasp concepts on the floor and run with them.  He develops and analyzes at a high rate.

It’s not a skill that will directly show up in the box score, but it certainly indirectly attributes to his stats.

Hear Cal’s take in the video.
