Reports: Malik Monk joins former Kentucky partner with Kings
Free-agent shooting guard Malik Monk agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Sacramento Kings, according to reports on Thursday. The move reunites Monk with point guard D'Aaron Fox, his high-octane backcourt partner with Kentucky for the 2016-17 season. Monk, 24, averaged a career-best 13.8 points last season for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
It was clear that the Kings were zeroing in on Murray at the beginning of the week. He had a strong workout with them leading up to the draft and is a nice complementary piece to Davion Mitchell and De'Aaron Fox. The Kings haven't had much luck drafting bigs but Murray's hybrid role to switch off the wing to the post will bring versatility in the front court.
