It goes much further than that when we were talking about Fultz, Smith, Ball, and Jackson earlier in the season. That attempt at a playoff run was stupid, and this is when you pay for it.
The glass half full is that the top 9 players are all reasonably within the realm of each other talent-wise. Monk is hardly a leftover pick. He is basically a more athletic, much better jump shooting Monta Ellis. Ellis's max vertical was 31.5" and Monks is 42". I know people worry about his fit with Steph Curry, but I really believe Monk will be a much better player.
