Watch: Kentucky freshman Malik Monk throws down monster dunk

Malik Monk was the ninth-ranked player in the 2016 recruiting class, and the Kentucky freshman showed a glimpse why during the Wildcats scrimmage Friday night.

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Arkansas took the ball at the top of the key, and two dribbles later was soaring in for a ridiculous one-handed cram over fellow freshman Wenyen Gabriel.

The Wildcats once again secured an impressive recruiting class, landing five players ranked in the top 25, and if Monk's debut was any indicator, they will be a fun bunch to watch this season.
