Hardaway Jr., on the other hand, has seen his production fall off a cliff this month, averaging a season-low 10.6 points on 34.2 percent shooting.
If recent history is any indication, Monks play style is fitting for the NBA Sixth Man Award.
Nine of the last 10 winners, aside from center Montrez Harrell in 2019-20, were play-making guards of Monks ilk, including last years winner Malcolm Brogdon.
