Malik Monk shines in debut, but Lakers drop preseason opener to Nets

Although Monk didn’t get the starting nod, he looked like someone who could very easily enter that conversation with a stat line of 15 points on 6-12 shooting from the field and 3-6 shooting from behind the arc. Monk’s defense is still a work in progress, but the offense looks sustainable.
