Charlotte Hornets rookie Malik Monk took it personally when the New York Knicks overlooked him in the 2017 draft, instead using the No. 8 pick on Frank Ntilikina.
"Me, my agent, everybody in my agency, my family—we thought we were going to New York," he said, per the New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy. "It was here, my agent is here (based in New York), a great agent, everybody thought it was going to be here. Went to dinner with [former Knicks president Phil Jackson], had a great workout, everything was positive."
The Hornets selected Monk three picks later, and he told Bondy the fact he slipped to 11th overall will be a source of motivation during his NBA career.
